Summary: Keyboard problems on Linux

Initial Comment:
Hi,

There are some problems with the keyboard on Linux. I'm
using Mandrake-10, but I believe this should happen to
any other distro also.

1) Dead keys. My keyboard layout is US-international.
The '`~"^ keys are maped as deadkeys, only producing a
character after a second one is pressed. openmsx cannot
read deadkeys at all, so inside of the emulator those
keys just doesn't work

2) Keyboard layout is completely wrong on Turbo-R. Is
there any way to fix the keyboard layout other than
patching the Turbo-R BIOS by myself?


Best regards,
FRS

FRS, can you please clarify that first point again? Or can I
just move this to the feature request tracker? (Where it
actually already is: decent keyboard mapping...)

Regarding 1): what exactly do you mean anyway? I can type ~
on MSX just as on my PC keyboard. I suppose the US
international stuff enables you to put accents and stuff on
letters. openMSX currently doesn't take that into account.
I'm not sure if we can do something about it.

1) I don't know about this problem. I guess Wouter or Arnold
should take a look at it.
2) This is a known problem, because the turboR has a
Japanese keyboard layout. We still should make a decent
keyboard translation feature. At the moment I use an IPS
file to patch the turboR ROM to let it use international
keyboard layout and stuff. See also this:
