    Hi all,

    I'm trying to send chars to the current console (currently having cursor
    focus) - /dev/tty0 - in my program by:

    my $st = 'K'
    my $ri = 'L'
    my $ng = 'J'
    open(TTY, ">/dev/tty0");
    ioctl(TTY, &TIOCSTI, $st);
    ioctl(TTY, &TIOCSTI, $ri);
    ioctl(TTY, &TIOCSTI, $ng);

    I'm using redhat 9, kde.
    Everything is ok in the linux console (on tty1 chars are sending
    properly - KLJ...), but in kde i see strange things (and not only for
    those characters):
    ^[[D- on ttyp1
    - on mozilla window
    My question is why chars are not properly sending by ioctl call, is
    there any additional settings to do (setting termios, keyboard driver?)??

    thanks,
    Keeper
