Does anyone know how much of a hardware check that can be made on the keyboard, mouse and frame buffer from a C program while SunOS is running? I need to somehow inquire if the devices are functioning. Will an "open" on any of these devices fail if something major is wrong ? I guess what I really want is for some kind of ioctl call to make the devices run a selftest of some sort and report the results back to me. A related question: are there any tests that can be performed from software alone ?
