Correct.

To be honest, I got side tracked after a /complete/ lack of response to
a request for tests, there did not seem to be much interest at that
point for some reason.

That combined with the lack of documentation on the evdev keyboard
interface, and some real life distractions, made me forget about it for
a little while.

Actually, I just dumped it on http://people.debian.org/~warp/evdev/,
instructions in the README.

If there is solid interest in this, I can get the keyboard stuff working
and shove the patches upstream.
