Um, details?

I don't think I've ever used busybox showkey, but I'm happy to look at  
patch submissions. (I may be a little overwhelmed with _dealing_ with  
them, but I'm working as fast as I can. Still chewing on ifconfig when  
I have time, and then mount's queued up right after that...)

Let's see, fire it up in an xterm and see what it does:

landley at driftwood:~$ ./busybox-x86_64 showkey
showkey: KDGKBMODE: Invalid argument
                                     landley at driftwood:~$

And it left my terminal in raw mode. Very nice. My static busybox lying  
around is 1.19.0, maybe they've fixed this since then? Git log on  
showkey.c says last touched in 2011, so I'm guessing no. Maybe it  
doesn't like xfce's terminal program? Dunno...

Send me a patch?

Thanks,
