How does keyboard input transmit from keyboard of X Server to application?

As ask in subject, anybody could explain or direct me to get some doc?

I have studied few days about this question, but I can't find a good and clear doc to describe the principal. I had known that X Server translates scancode to keycode, then keycode is translated to keysym. The further questions are:
1. Is there any table for scancode and keycode translation? Can I list it out by any util?(Can xmodmap?)
2. How does xterm translate key input and pass it to the application? How the relationship is between xterm and termcap/terminfo?

Thanks,

Modemer

1. Merging keyboard input with serial console input?

  I'm working on a driver for a PCI based PS2 keyboard. We currently don't
have a graphics driver so we're using a serial console. Inorder to show the
keyboard driver works, I'm display the scancodes on the LEDs. But this isn't
a very convincing demo. Is there anyway to get the keyboard's input merged
into the serial console's input stream, just as if I had typed them on the
serial keyboard?
