Hi,

When i play at more game with Wine, my French keyboard (AZERTY) is not
recognized correctly. In fact, when i want to change the command settings
in-game, my 'AZERTY' keyboard is recognized as an US/UK keyboard (QWERTY).

For example, for each Assassin's Creed games, FarCry 3 etc... 'A' key on my
keyboard = 'Q' key in-game. Same thing with 'Z' key = 'W' key in-game.

As explained by Dmitry, i did two tests :

1- wine notepad and type 'qwerty'/'azerty'
2- setxkbmap fr, wine notepad and type 'qwerty'/'azerty'

These both tests works without problem. Notepad recognized my keyboard as a
French keyboard.

I attach a debug did with the 1st step.

Thanks,
Max

Please attach the log for the actual application with the problem instead of
notepad (using same debug channels).

Hi Dmitry,

Legend : "Real key from my keyboard"("Key recognized by the game")

I launch the debug log with Assassin's Creed Revelations. I modified only the
key for "move forward" action. Initially, this action use this key "Z"("W").

I did this change : "Z"("W") -> "W"("Z") -> "Z"("W")

I read the log and it's very strange because at the end of the file, the press
event key is exactly "W" and "Z". So for me, Wine itself recognized correctly
the key but not the game ... (I think)

I don't see anything wrong in the log. Did you test the game under Windows,
does it correctly recognize key presses with the AZERTY keyboard layout?

There are no problems on Windows Seven, the game recognized correctly the key
presses with the AZERTY keyboard... ("Z"="Z" and "A"="A" etc...)

I don't understand the problem with the game here ...
On keyboard options in Gnome 3 settings, i have only the French Keyboard...

Does adding en (English (US)) layout using your Gnome 3 keyboard layout
manager and switching to it help as a workaround? You can also use just
'setxkbmap en' and 'setxkbmap fr' to switch between layouts from the xconsole.

Even if i do "setxkbmap us" in xconsole, the game still recognize my keyboard
as a QWERTY kerboard.

I remarked a strange thing, these applications recognize correctly my french
keyboard :
- winecfg
- wine regedit
- Steam
- Ubisoft Uplay
- Firefox Windows
- EA Origin.

I have this problem ONLY when i play at Windows games, if it's not a game, i
haven't this problem.

If the game uses dinput it might suffer from the regression reported in
the bug 15350. I don't know how easy it would be to revert the patch
that caused the regression there, but it's worth a try.

Thanks Dmitry,
I used the patch present in the bug report to revert the original patch from
Aric and it works. The right keys are recognized correctly.

I think that i can close this bug report that a duplicate of the bug 15350.
I'll post a message to prevent that the bug still exist with my games.
