What about checking hal at startup (then subsequently monitoring hal events) to see if a device with "input.keyboard" in its "info.capabilities" list exists or is added/removed? I'm planning on getting a USB keyboard (a frogpad) to use with my Freerunner, so might be willing to have a play around with getting this sort of thing to work (time permitting).
