Finally, something that does almost touch on my limited knowledge of *nix graphics.
In the normal course of events (no pun intended), X does not use the raw keyboard codes.
There is a "keybrd.something" or a "keymap.something" running/used that does the raw-to-X conversion of raw byte strings into the expected X11 byte strings.
Sorry I can't be more specific, I don't know this subject in any more detail than given above.
NOTE:
It may be hard to find in the Kindle because it may not be there (or may be built into the kernel).
For instance, you will note in geekmaster examples he is almost always reading the "raw" keyboard stream, not a "cooked" translation.
My guess is because the "cooked" translation wasn't available for use (by either geekmaster or by X11).
