US international keyboard layout
I'm using Suse 8.0 Prof and I configured a US international keyboard. I have a US keyboard but I need to have german umlauts as well. When I run wine then I get the errormessage that my keyboard can't be recognized and I should include it in x11drv/keyboard .c . Now I checked this file and I was surprised to find this layout already there. Apparently wine can't detect my layout for some reason but I don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions how I should proceed? The funny thing is that the keyboard layout works properly in wine, so I get all the Umlauts. Seems that the error message is wrong. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

A +key,+keyboard log will help you debug it. -- Dmitry.

Maybe the error message should be clarified to mention this properly? -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://mohr.de.tt

It's no more true. Since keyboard layout tables in x11drv have such information as code page attached to them, support for international input depends on the correct detection of the keyboard layout. -- Dmitry.

The only game that I tried to run which gave at least a resemblance of running was Thief. Unfortunately this doesn work properly because they keys are received by the shell window instead of wine. So I wonder about this a bit. :) -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)
Run it in managed mode, this really helps.

I am running in managed mode. :) I just checked my config to make sure and it was on managed mode and I tested it again. The funny thing is that with Dark Project get no keays in the shell but also no keys in the game. With Dark Project 2 I get the keys in the shell window instead but I can't use it in the game. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.
