No pseudo-terminals show up in Serial.list()

Hi, I'm trying to modify an application in Processing on linux, and cannot figure out if/how I can make Processing see virtual serial ports (Unix 98-style pts) and read/write to them.  The devices are named such as /dev/pts/3 and already work for other serial-aware applications.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

It turns out that a symbolic link to a /dev/ttyS was required, but it's working properly now.

hi tristan,
that was a nice catch there! i ve been looking for info as to how set up processing to send sketch from my laptop to external monitor...
it's been whole day ! i still havent menaged to do it but i think this is getting v close to the solution as the other monitor is on /dev/pts/1

im aming to use the laptop in order to code skeches and then send the output to projector/monitor full screen .... currently on pts/1  
so i ve configured the ex monitor to run as a separate X session , from then i can already send video from console using
DISPLAY=:0.1 mplayer -fs whatever path to video
still it would be helpful to know if sb has already figured out how to do it for processing  Huh

oki. finally there!
for the benifit of other people ...
set up your other monitor as TwinView (which u find in you nvidia-settigins if you have one ) than use this fantastic full-screen library  (i can't post links)
and set up display for monitor 1 (it starts counting displays from 0 )
  fs = new FullScreen(this,1);
off u go Smiley
