Nice, I've just tested it and it works mostly, at least more than ruby. 
Theres still problems with multiple keys. Holding shift and any of the 
insert/delete/home/end/page up/page down keys, results in two warnings:
unknown key(set 2, scancode 0x159 on input/0 ) pressed and released

Also when rebooting the input-kernel the BIOS reported keyboard error and I 
had to do a full power-off.

But I didnt see any off the autorepeat problems from ruby.

This is becoming a pretty good alternative, if we can keep up a functional 
patch against 2.4 until 2.5.
