Re: [Freedos-devel] Keyboard problem
Hi Alain, I'm also brazilian and I also have a brazilian ABNT2 keyboard. The BR.KEY layouts works fine here. There's no need for adjustments, unless your keyboard hardware works with different scancodes (you said you have a notebook with a brazilian ABNT2 keyboard). Mine is a regular desktop mini-DIN (PS/2) keyboard. Most intriguing is that not even KEYCODE is able to read the scancodes of that extra key in your notebook; in a normal condition, it would read 115. If you want to continue this conversation in portuguese, you can contact me: hperon @ terra.com.br . One thing occured to me: if possible, please send me a close picture of your keyboard. I've already seen many oddities on the market which do not follow ABNT, portuguese or american standards. I've already seen, for instance, a regular US keyboard with a Ç key to the right of L. All the rest follows a standard US keyboard layout (i.e. the dead keys with the diacritics are missing). There's no official layout like that, anywhere. You can't set it up on Windows or any other operating system. It seems you have one of those mini-keyboards with ABNT2 layout which we find here in Brazil; it probably uses proprietary scancodes. If that's the case, please send me the brand and model and I'll contact the manufacturer for the scancodes. (Anyway, if possible, I still want that close picture of your keyboard). Regards, Henrique Alain M. escreveu: Hi Aitor, hi all, I just installed KEYB 2.0 with layout 2.5 that I downloaded from ibiblio. It is working great under DOSEMU. *Except* for one key. This is an oddity of my keyboard, it is a small keyboard and it has a layout like a notebook but on a desktop and it has a key for characters / and ? that is just besides the Alt-Grey. This key also had problems with VMware and it was fixed with this extra command in it's config: xkeymap.keycode.211 = 115. I hope that this information can help. I tested with KEYCODE.EXE but it doesn't generate anything at all :( Is there another program to show the scancodes? I looks like I would just have to add a line 211 /? ° to the file BR.KEY and recompile! But it did not work. I compiled and loaded like this: KC.EXE Br.key keyb br,850,br.kl The compilation and loading is working because I succeded modifying some character just for a test.

Re: [Freedos-devel] Keyboard problem
No problem Alain :-) I'm glad to know that those mini-keyboards don't work with different scancodes. Henrique Alain M. escreveu: Confirmed: I just managed to boot this same machine in pure FreeDOS and the key works just fine. ScanCode is 0x73=115 The probelm is then with dosemu that is not forwarding the scancode.
