If your patches didn't get applied after sending to -patches and you didn't get feedback yet, the best way is usually to ask AJ on IRC. For a patch of this extend it is also a good idea to talk with AJ beforehand so there is an agreement how to proceed. Would this also fix the following bug or does that have nothing to do with the work at hand?: Bug 1181 - Keyboard translation broken: uses raw keycodes? http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181 Jan

Anyone working on XKB support for Wine (or any other Keyboard language detection enhancements)?
Hi all, The current keyboard detection and setting code is based on the traditional method of setting a keyboard in X11. It misdetects most any language that carries a US keyboard as the first group. While major work on other areas of Wine means that most programs today don't really care about that, it still confuses the $*([EMAIL PROTECTED]$ out of Word. It also has some pretty serious BiDi editing implications. I'm looking into replacing that with code based on the XKB X11 extension, today supported with any quasi reasonable X server. This should totally eliminate the guesswork done through keyboard change detection in wine today. The main question is this - is anyone today already working on this? Thanks, Shachar
