Does anyone know how much of a hardware check that can be made on the
keyboard, mouse and frame buffer from a C program while SunOS is running?
I need to somehow inquire if the devices are functioning. Will an "open"
on any of these devices fail if something major is wrong ? I guess what I
really want is for some kind of ioctl call to make the devices run a
selftest of some sort and report the results back to me. A related
question: are there any tests that can be performed from software alone ?
Thanks in advance,
