From: Tom Ehlert <t...@drivesnapshot.de> Kai,
an amazing amount of effort to get a german keyboard driver :<< > Hi Eric, > thanks for the quick reply. In the meantime I found out that I can load a > German layout with just "keyb gr", just not the layout file itself or the > /E switch that is mentioned in that article. I assume the gr.kl is > embedded in the keyboard.sys file. > That's good enough for me. I don't need the Euro sign. I use FreeDOS > mainly on a USB stick for flashing bios and controller cards on rack > machines and my own workstations. And it drives me crazy if I have to > input some special characters like - _ / which commonly occur. Each time I > have to go by trial and error. And it seems you cannot type a ~ (tilde) at > all on a German keyboard under an en-us layout. > Now I can :-) > There is one thing still with keyb, though, that makes me wonder. > Shouldn't I be able to run it from autoexec.bat? I added "keyb gr" to it, > but it isn't executed (or it doesn't work at this stage). I have to run it > manually at the prompt. I'm also running keybw.com in autoexec.bat, right > before that. I don't know what that does. I just have it in there and > don't know if I added it some time ago or if it came with the first > FreeDOS configuration. Should I remove it? >> The KEYB layouts can be found here: >> >> http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=kpdos > That's the point where the circle starts (and ends). There are no plain > keyboard layout files (.kl) in there, only the .key files. But these need > kc for compiling to a .kl file. And there's nowhere you can get kc from. in that case, KPDOS does not qualify as open source, and I recommend to remove KPDOS from future releases of FreeDOS > I don't need it now anymore it seems.
