Hi Roberto,

Hello ... I've been searching around the web for a specific mailing
list for the uinput driver but couldn't find any.  I managed to
create an example app that injects keyboard events to the running
linux kernel succesfully when I have a keyboard attached to the
computer.  However if I run it on a keyboardless machine, like a
standalone motherboard, the uinput device fails to open.
uinput driver does not depend on presence of a physical keyboard. I'd
start looking whether uinput module is enabled on your headless box and
if it is a module verify that it is loaded.

Thanks.
