[Qemu-devel] ALT-GR Problem with German keyboards reappeared

[Michael Maier]

Dear Developers,

Maybe it's of interest for you: I installed today the new "daily" build (2004-11-14) from freeoszoo.org and an old problem with German keyboards reappeared again. NumLock and ALT-GR buttons don't work any more (I'm using Windows as host).
Especially ALT-GR is important, if you wan't to use the pipe [|] or the tilde [~] char on German keyboards.

ALT-GR did work the normal way with the SDL.DLL from 2004-11-11 build.

By the way: Sound output of the new DLL is much better and there is a better CTRL-ALT response now. Don't know if there is a interrelationship between these very useful improvements and the reappearance of the ALT-GR problem.

Thank you for QEMU. It's a really great emulator!

with friendly regards,
mm

I think I have find a way to have AltGr, fullscreen and good audio output
(with linux guest for the last).
I have rebuild sdl with directx but without directsound by commenting some
lines:

src/audio/SDL_audio.c @71
/*#ifdef ENABLE_DIRECTX
    &DSOUND_bootstrap,
#endif*/
 
src/audio/SDL_sysaudio.h @135
/*#ifdef ENABLE_DIRECTX
        extern AudioBootStrap DSOUND_bootstrap;
#endif*/

and rebuild qemu for using SDL_SWSURFACE instead of SDL_HWSURFACE
(sdl.c @59), I hope this is ok and don't impact too much performances or
anything other.
