Not sure whether this helps, but you can look <linux/input.h> and check what ioctl()s it provides for this purpose. At least there seems to be: EVIOCGKEY - get global keystate EVIOCGSW - get all switch states EVIOCGBIT - get event bits Maybe you can use some of these to query current status of input events.
