Re: [Qemu-devel] AltGr key for Windows host

["Kazu" <kazoo@r3.dion.ne.jp>]

Hello, Andreas.

Thank you.

It seems that ctrl left event before right alt makes something wrong for
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib. I updated binary. SDL is patched and updated. SDL
version is 1.2.11 so that windib is default. How about this one. It seems
that Knoppix 4.0 works good for me, though I don't know much German...

http://www.h6.dion.ne.jp/~kazuw/qemu-win/qemu-20061023-keyboard.zip

When SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib, ctrl alt events before right alt is removed.
------------------------
OS ver = 5.1  0.0.2600  Keyboard = 7, 0   Layout = 0x04070407
LayoutName = 00000407
key = 0x133 key name = right alt PRESSED
sdl_process_key: keycode = 0xb8
------------------------
OS ver = 5.1  0.0.2600  Keyboard = 7, 0   Layout = 0x04070407
LayoutName = 00000407
key = 0x133 key name = right alt RELEASED
sdl_process_key: keycode = 0xb8


It is necessary to make a conversion table for SDL_VIDEODRIVER=directx.
DirectInput reports DirectInput's keycode. But QEMU needs AT keyboard's
mechanical scancode. I know a key layout of German keyboard. But I don't
know which value is reported by DirectInput when the key is pressed. If
windib works correct, comparing output results of windib and directx makes
the conversion table. I think it is a lot of work, though.

Regards,
Kazu
