So, my question is this. How can I get the correct numbers out of this

I'm pretty sure that I don't need to use the cuecat drivers out there
because this cuecat has been modified to circumnavigate the internal
encoding.  Why does it work under tty1, and not in X Windows?

As I recall there are a couple of versions of software for the Cuecat floating around on Sourceforge. At least one of them was a perl script.
