Worked like a charm. I already have lots of ideas about how to put those 
buttons to good use (since you already provided the polling thread), but 
I'll have to look at what would easily integrate into lcd4linux. The 
obvious thing would be to define more than the amount of visible lines, 
and then use the up and down keys to scroll through that "virtual 
window". But we'll see.

If only that box wasn't so loud - it's obviously no problem once I put 
it into the 19' rack in the server room, but since the box is on my desk 
at the moment, the noise is driving me nuts (makes me appreciate my 
_completely_ silent soekris boxes even more).
