Long ago when I thought I was going to be writing Operating Systems in Assembly Language, I had a raw keyboard driver interpreting the key codes from various keyboards.<br><br>TERRIBLE to debug (though not as bad as debugging a display driver).<br>
<br>Is that what all this is like?<br><br>Ugh...<br><br>Do you use lookup tables for all the various keyboard types and operating systems?<br><br>It seems like you almost need a matrix of all the supported systems vs. all the possible keyboards, with a table for each one...it could just be a file in the image directory and get loaded at startup.<br>
<br>Then, if someone has some weird keyboard, they could just edit the file...<br><br>But then, I probably have no idea what I&#39;m talking about!!!<br><br>Rob<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 7:27 PM, Mariano Martinez Peck <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:marianopeck@gmail.com">marianopeck@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

</div>What kind of keyboard are you using?<br>
<br>
I had to do an incredibly ugly hack because of the way the Linux VM<br>
deals with composing key sequences, so it could be that I messed up the<br>
normal keyboard input. Sigh...<br>
