If the proposed solution would allow this, then that seems fine for
console mode operation. However, my impression (without reading the
source) was the it would not allow you to reroute "regular" keys
through /dev/2DamnFunky. If it will, fine.
I still feel that the X solution should go via the regular X
mechanisms for key remapping. More in another message.
