Hello,

Let me reframe my question:

I have a MIPS Target Board that uses an onboard serial port acting as a 
console. It is a machine dependent driver, and it'is boots through NFS.

I am using a i386 as a host system and download the Target image thru tftp 
to the Target Board.

I am trying to port USB Device Driver to my MIPS Target Board, and have made 
corresponding entries in the config file.

Now when I connect a USB keyboard it gets detected as "wskbd0 at ukbd0" in 
the dmesg. But when I press any key on the USB Keyboard it doesn't display 
anything. I assume this is because I dont have any wsdisplay.

Now the point is, can I redirect the output of wskbd0 to any character 
device driver (In my case to a serial port) instead of wsdiplay. If yes what 
are the entires to be made in wskbd driver.

Or How can I make the wsdiplay operate on my Serial driver instead.

Can you figure out with these statements.

Thanks for help provided.

Regards,
Anand Lalgondar
