It is possible to turn the buffering of characters off in termios and this
works for normal reads.  My problem is an error code when trying
to set raw mode.  Here is the code

 mov  eax,54      ;ioctl
 mov ebx,0         ;stdin
 mov ecx,0x4b45  ;KDSKBMODE
 mov edx,0        ;raw mode
 int   0x80

returns code -22 which i assume is "invalid arguement"

In some sample code they opened stdin and used the
returned handle for stdin.  This did not work either.
