Re: using keyboard arrows

If you're going to run the program in KDE, thus X, you should
certainly use the facilities of X rather than ioctl KDSKBMODE.
That way, your program also does not hog the whole keyboard,
rather it only gets the events meant for its own X window.

It isn't terribly hard to implement this with Xlib.
Perhaps it is even easier with libsdl; I don't know.
