ISTR that when the CueCat was around, a fair number of people used it to
do just that. There was a kernel module and everything. It was so
long ago that I'm fuzzy on the specifics, but google://"linux cuecat"
will probably turn up the whole story. The results should also provide
1 or 2 starting points for non-CueCat barcode scanners that work with
minimal hassle.
(I could've *had* a CueCat; we found one 2 weeks ago while going through
old junk. But no, I thought I'd never need or want a PS/2 barcode
scanner, so it got junked....)
