Okies, this post is going to be fairly short; as there is not much to ask or explain. But I am looking to know, without using a library like SDL, the Linux equivalent to the Windows GetAsyncKeyState method. I know that Irrlicht has a built in input class, but I am currently attempting to bypass that and the pDevice->run() method for further control over my update loops. I thank anyone that can provide any insight to this matter
Read in CIrrDeviceLinux.cpp. There's an event handler which reads the X11 events and sends out Irrlicht events. You cannot check for pressed keys directly, just via event handlers.
Okies, thank you for the help Hybrid. I haven't done much Linux specific programming outside of built in Irrlicht events, so this shall be a learning experiance for me
