[dtrace-discuss] DTrace, ::KeyboardConvertScan:entry and my USB keyboard

[Josh Howard]

I have an Acer Ferrari 4000 to which I have connected a Microsoft Natural Keyboard via USB. In an attempt to get the scancodes for the multitude of seemingly extraneous keys, I took the advice that Casper had posted about using dtrace. However, using:

dtrace -n '::KeyboardConvertScan:entry {printf("%x", arg1)}'

Doesn't actually generate anything when using the external keyboard, but does work as expected on the built-in keyboard. I'm not really sure if it being USB is the issue, or if the laptop is flukey or what the case may be, but is there anything I can do get that output for this keyboard?

Thanks.
