Are you actually getting key events ?  Your event.c needs to select() on
the FDs and call the keyboard_handle_data() routine.  Have a look at
GGIeventpoll() in display/fbdev/events.c.

Nice, eh ?

That should still work (it's a special case in drivers/char/keyboard.c,
SPECIALS_ALLOWED_IN_RAWMODE or some such).
