Opie (Qt/Embedded to be exact) doesn't read via the input subsystem, but
through the tty. To make our buttons work easily, we have them mapped
(either in the kernel drivers or via kernel console map) to F-keys. This
is what I recommend. If you can't do that for whatever reason, then you
have another option, which is to open up your event source
(i.e. /dev/input/event0) and listen in the ODevice abstraction for your
button events. When they come in, you have to translate them into Qt
keycodes and inject them into the Qt event loop.
