I think you're looking for something like this:
function FakeDecodeKey(display : PDisplay; key: AnsiString ):TKeyCode;
var
ks : TKeySym;
kc : TKeyCode;
begin
ks := XStringToKeysym(pchar(key));
kc := XKeySymToKeycode( display, ks );
result := kc;
end;
In the uses clause where this functions is from there are unit "x" and
"xlib".
Have fun,
Marc
