HI all,
	I trying to write a program that needs to be able to check
what is being typed on the keyboard even if this app isn't the current
app.  I found the way to get the address of the keyboard device, but
from there I am unsure as to what to do.  Is there a specific place
from the beginning of the device address that can tell me what the
current key that was pushed is?  Or would it be impossible for me to
try and accomplish something like this?  Can what I want to do be
accomplished with some ioctl() calls?  And if so, what would they be.
Any comments or suggestions would be great,
--
