The upstream way of isolating the keyboard mapping from X is called libxbkcommon: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon/ Coupled with lib(g)udev for device discovery/hotplug and evdev devices you have a solid base for input events on Linux. > What is the recommended way to handle input for Clutter in this case? I've started a branch to support evdev devices called wip/evdev: http://git.clutter-project.org/clutter/log/?h=wip/evdev The evdev event backend works for keyboards, supports hotplug. Next stop, mice (and possibly other devices exposed by the evdev driver). The branch sits on top of master, but it's possible to use the backend on earlier versions (1.4 / 1.2) with fiddling a bit with the build system.
