Yep, found that after some digging in various applications. :-) Using 
XChangeKeyboardControl() all the time looks like a nasty hack, but probably 
works.

However, what about the X server and heavy graphics rendering? I'm not 
expecting to be able to pump beeps out at 60 Hz through X, like the speaker 
emulator (and the original DOS code) does...
