Is the problem to get the key events? For old computers using other
kernels, but not Linux, you only need to take a look at the buffer for
pushed keys. I guess somebody here knows how to fetch events form the
Linux keyboard buffer, but I don't think that this can be handled on
real-time.

Without knowledge, I'm just speculating ... will it be possible to use
Rui's rtirq to give keyboard events the highest priority?
