The vr3 distro uses something called "gbm" to receive events from hardware
buttons and pass them on to X. I thought it generated kernel keyboard events
(at least it prints the expected junk ("^[[D" etc) to the console if I press
buttons during bootup), but if I leave it running then run pgserver with
ttykb input, it doesn't seem to receive anything from gbm.

The sources to the vr3 version of gbm can be found at
http://agenda-snow.sf.net/release/source/contrib in case any C programmers
want to see how it's done.

   In a few decades, it will make a good paragraph
      in my biography. You know, for a laugh.
