Public bug reported: This function is used by game build on SDL library in order to transform input of the keyboard into Unicode characters. There is a risk that a lot of game build on SDL does not work with Edgy. For instance all the games based on Torque will not work with edgy : http://www.garagegames.com/
This function has been removed in the current package libsdl 1.2( 1.2.10.3) .provided with edgy ( it works with dapper). For your information a patch has been provided with libsdl1.2 (1.2.11-3), have a look on : http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/libs/libsdl1.2/libsdl1.2_1.2.11-3/changelog Warning : all the libraries linked to libsdl should be updated in the same way. How to reproduce : 1/ download the demo of torque available at : http://demos.garagegames.com/tge/TorqueGameEngineDemo-1.4.2-RC1.bin 2/ install it , launch in a console window : TorqueGameEngineDemo-1.4.2-RC1.bin 3/ follow the installation procedure : click on next 4/ go to the installation directory and launch : demo.bin You get the folowing errors message : "demo.bin: symbol lookup error: demo.bin: undefined symbol: X11_KeyToUnicode" This demo works with dapper. ** Affects: libsdl1.2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- The function X11_KeyToUnicode is missing in libsdl in Edgy ( dapper ok) https://launchpad.net/bugs/66217 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
