Hello everybody,
Two main questions:
- Does anybody use a US keyboard (@ at 2-key and " at '-key) with
RPCEmu on his Linux host system? And if you do, do you use the USA
keyboard driver in RISC OS 4 or just the default UK one?
- Users which use a UK keyboard (" at 2-key and @ at ' -key) with
RPCEmu on their Linux host system. Does every key work ok. I mean does
the #-key gives a # char and the \-key a \ char in RISC OS?
I ask these questions because on my Linux system I use a US keyboard.
When I use the standard UK keyboard driver (in RISC OS) all keys work
but shift-2 and shift-' give off course other results. The strange
thing is that the \-key give the right result which shouldn't be the
case because when you configure a UK-keyboard at the host system you
get a # when pressing the \-key. And of course it goes wrong when you
configure the USA keyboard driver in RISC OS, then the \-key doesn't
work at all.
I checked keyboard.c and found that the allegro key variable
KEY_BACKSLASH is connected to PS2-code(Set 2) 0x61. When I checked
this website http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-10.html
they say it should be 0x5D. So I linked KEY_BACKSLASH to 0x5D and
KEY_BACKSLASH2 to 0x61 and yes everything works ok now. But does it
still works when a UK keyboard is connected to the Linux host system.
