Can you tell me please, how can I read events from /dev/input/event3?
Or may be you can give me advise what to read to develop such application (as evkey for keyboard) myself?..

Generally, boot menus and other things loaded before the OS don't work with any input device other than the keyboard because those require drivers to be loaded to initialize the hardware and read the input.
On the other hand, since the drivers are open source, I don't see why you can't grab the stuff you need from here and do it yourself...

I've done it by modifying Pali's evkey, but `cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail` never showes number greater than 3596...
