I use nitpicker > and event_filter as per basic .run file examples You most likely missed to configure the event_filter <chargen> config node correctly. A snippet from Sculpt /config/managed/event_filter follows (can be found in the source tree at repos/gems/sculpt/event_filter/pc). <config> <output> <chargen> ... <input name="usb"/> ... <include rom="en_us.chargen"/> <!-- this may also be fr_fr.chargen --> <include rom="special.chargen"/> </chargen> </output> <policy label="ps2" input="ps2"/> <policy label="usb" input="usb"/> </config> The chargen files are located in repoos/src/server/event_filter/ resp. the genodelabs/src/event_filter archive.
