Re: [Freedos-devel] keyb us does not work

So basically there's a specially crafted "French Canadian" keyboard layout. One learns new stuff every day. Thanks for the information! Unfortunately, it appears that none of the FreeDOS keyboard drivers (xkeyb, keyb, mkeyb) support the French-Canadian layout out of the box. regards, Mateusz

Re: [Freedos-devel] keyb us does not work

I tried to run mkeyb rather than keyb (I had also tried xkeyb). mkeyb have worked first time. I closed QEMU window, retried, then it wont work. Retried, would work. When it work, it detects the other version running: different version of KEYB found 594003C != d0f4003c Is it the address of KEYB

[Freedos-devel] keyb us does not work

After installing in french, I get french keyboard... you might find it strange, but here in Quebec, we are totally lost with french keyboard. US is much more usable for us. But then, when I type keyb us the 2 output lines, seems to suggest that it worked. But I still have AZERTY (french)
