  3. MatchProduct "Whizzo barcode reader"
  4. Option "Ignore" "yes"
  5. EndSection

Looks like you should be able to intercept raw XEvents by installing a QCoreApplication::setEventFilter() (or QAbstractEventDispatcher::setEventFilter())
Thanks for your response. Was hoping to avoid xorg mod since other targets won't have xorg. Will play with event filter at core application level. Really wanted to get event _after_ translation to Unicode and _before_ it became a keypress event so I wouldn't have to recode the wheel. Will play with this today and see how it turns out.

Thanks again.
