I have been looking a similar idea. The situation is that I would like
to have support for more than one keyboard style at time, in my case
the Standard US, Canadian French and perhaps a graphic-line draw.
Doing this it not that difficult if the allowable keyboard are
compiled into the kernel. The question I have, is how could they
be dynamically loaded.
I have not yet had a chance to look at the code for the dynamic device
drivers. Any feed-back from someone with exerience with those would
be appriciated. Question? Is it feasible to replace the compiled
keyboard or video or anyother driver with one dynamically loaded
sometime after the system is booted.
