5 Brazil-ABNT keyboard - ID: 2797605

Last Update: Comment added ( alainm3 )

Details:

This fixes Brazil-ABNT keyboards. It adds 2 more keys, scancodes 73h and
7dh. One exists in jamanese keyboard and the other is exclusive.

No setup is needed in dosemu.conf. KEYB is needed, I temporarily uploaded
it here:

Use in AUTOEXEC.BAT with the files above.:
lh c:\dos\keyb br,850,c:\DOS\BR.KL
This layout will be included in FreeDOS 1.1

Date: 2009-06-09 02:59 Sender: alainm3 Answer 1) IMHO it should be extended at least to include the "/?" key code 73h. The reason is that this is a very important key to have missing in case keyb is not properly configured. The key 7Eh is not very important (redundant), but it will use just a few more bytes. Answer 2) I GOT IT WRONG... I even booted in pure FreeDOS to double-check, then I checkd with Henrique Peron... I already made a fix and replaced the patch. I am very glad that you got that one. The KEYB layout is not afected by this fix
Date: 2009-06-01 21:24 Sender: bartoldeman Two questions: 1) are you sure the 'us' layout needs to be extended? In principle KEYB should get the scancodes more directly unless you use DOSEMU in a terminal (dosemu -t). What happens if you remove that part of the patch in keymaps.c? 2) internet references suggest 0x7e for the NUM_DOT key instead of 0x7d. What happens if you press the key in "showkey -s" on a Linux text console (press Ctrl-Alt-F1, login)?

Two questions:
1) are you sure the 'us' layout needs to be extended? In principle KEYB
should get the scancodes more directly unless you use DOSEMU in a terminal
(dosemu -t). What happens if you remove that part of the patch in
keymaps.c?
2) internet references suggest 0x7e for the NUM_DOT key instead of 0x7d.
What happens if you press the key in
"showkey -s" on a Linux text console (press Ctrl-Alt-F1, login)?
