Can I have a serial display output and a kbd PS/2 input?
Sorry to be insistent in this point, but perhaps requesting the problem this way someone figures out what I am trying to do.
The display is already configured and sending getty line from inittab waits for an input from serial so it doesn't work.
Any other ideas? This is my last try.
Thanks in advance
Frank again.

If you want /dev/console to behave so that it sends output to the serial device yet takes input from the PC keyboard, no, that cannot be done. Right now /dev/console can be associated with only one device for both input and output at the same time.
Output from kernel printk's does go to all console devices though.

Well, as a sleightly more expensive solution, you could build a Sun keyboard to serial adapter. Somewhere on the SuSE webpage there is instructions on how to do this. IIRC, the keyboard only uses the RxD pin on the serial port so you would be free to use the TxD pin for your serial LCD.
The schematic can be had here:

good luck, and hope this is of some use to you.

Just to say thanks all folks. I was insisting on the same point you explained to me. In spite of that I needed confirmation; any. It would be interesting anyway to develop a console which could have the input and the output from/to diferent devices.
Now I'll have to make one of the consoles to login automatically (I'm trying the qlogin program) and then my next step will be to develop a small set of functions to give aplications programmers an easy way to control some devices like this display. So far I've been writing some modules with the archiknown vi, but know I'll have to write a lot of code. Any IDE suggested? I downloaded the RHIDE. Is it good? I haven't tested it yet.
Thanks all again.
Frank

Yes, but this won't work either, because the keyboard doesn't send ASCII.

I think something like "console=ttyS1 console=tty0" should do.
This (as boot parameters) means: "output to all defined consoles and input from tty0" as your keyboard is connected to tty0.

No, you're missing his point.
He wants a getty (not only kernel console) to take input from the keyboard, and output through a serial port, which can't be done presently.
