How about getkeyboardstate/setkeyboardstate functions, put together
with attachthreadinput? would that be on the keyboard driver level,
above directinput? or still below it, and thus bypassed?

If the answer to the above is negative, then how about writing a
wrapper for the original dinput.dll (basically, make another
dinput.dll, that takes messages from the keyboard driver, does
whatever with them, before passing them on to the "actual"
dinput.dll)? could that work? and how difficult would it be to carry
out?

Also... why don't i really want to do the kernel filter drivers? They
certainly sound like i dont want to do them :) but i wonder why. Too
involved and painful? Chance to screw up the whole system?

Thanks, 
Daniel, not liking to give up...
