	hehe. i've never heared of xdoom/xquake ported on solaris, but if 
there is such thing, then you should look in ints sources. probably X has 
a func to do that properly. but i still think that port reading is the 
most useful. unfortunately i don't really know how port reading and X can 
co-exist peacefuly but almost certain this will mess up the x events 
queue. what about linux game devel stuff? there are some guys developing 
a game engine for linux (ala directX). they might finished already the 
kbd procs.
