So, my next job is to figure out how, on FreeBSD, should I configure and dispatch these things. They AREN'T to be limited, at all, to being function keys, I want them even to include the possibility of kicking off programs (or maybe shell scripts?). So, knowing absolutely zero about interfacing keyboards on FreeBSD, could I get a VERY minimal description, enough so that I could begin reading all of the man pages (and include files) involved, and get this last part going?
