Greetings and Smooth Compiling to All,

I, a humble pilgrim in the Land of Tux, have spent over a year seeking a
simple answer to what seems to me a simple question: How do I expose my
RS232 barcode scanner to the input layer so that the scanned information
shows up in applications? Basically, I need the scanner to act like another
keyboard. Scan a code, see the numbers.

Maybe http://kbde.sourceforge.net/ it's what you're looking for.
