Keyboard works fine at the console. I suspect that's because kdrive 1.4 lacks a default keymap. Graeme provided a really bare-bones one that makes X access keys (e.g. xkbd, matchbox-keyboard). Making USB keyboards work properly proved to be too much work, so I am now using full-blown Xorg on anything with a usb-keyboard. Having said that, the A-z keys did work on beagle, the fact that left-mouse button clicks produced a 'q' was the final straw (clock on window running powertop - boom). Something is very broken in kdrive, which might be due to people working on it only care for tablets from a certain scandinavian company. regards, Koen > > It works fine with xserver-kdrive-fbdev 1.3 > > with 1.4, it seem there are some options added: > > -keybd driver [,,options] Specify the keyboard driver and its options > -kb disable the X Keyboard Extension > +kb enable the X Keyboard Extension > > In the source code, I found the following: > > ./hw/kdrive/ephyr/Xephyr :1 -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ -mouse > ephyr -keybd ephyr,,xkblayout=br,xkbmodel=abnt2 > > /* > * You can call your kdriver server with something like: > * $ ./hw/kdrive/yourserver/X :1 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event4 -keybd > * evdev,,device=/dev/input/event1,xkbmodel=abnt2,xkblayout=br > */ > > there are a few patch files that might be related: > ./xserver-kdrive-1.4.0.90/no_xkb.patch > ./xserver-kdrive/optional-xkb.patch > > I'm slogging through the source code, but would appreciate any ideas > from anyone who understands this or has it working. > > Thanks, > Cliff >
