Hi
I may be totally dump but was unable to find the replacement for the CTRL-ALT-FX shortcuts in linux, for example CTRL-ALT-F5 is capture to video, but in linux these type of shortcuts are reserved for other things. I've tryed CTRL-ALT-5 and CTRL-SHIFT-F5, even CTRL-ALT-ESC-5 but neither was with the desired result.
I also cannot fint the answer in vaious guides and faqs.
Thanks.
Have a look at the mapper (ctrl-f1), if that key combination is also occupied
by some useful linux thing look in the readme for some start parameter
that puts up the mapper window right away.
Thanks, me stupid. I just expected to see it on the man or on the info page, then on the faqs, forum posts, not in a file. BTW althoug i configured with --prefix=/usr docs did not get installed on my system in /usr/share/doc/dosbox as stated in tha man.
Docs are the readme and dosbox.conf comments. Think docs installing
was disabled some time ago, Qbix might know.
not in a file
What "not in a file"?? It's not a problem of dosbox, but a configuration
problem where you have too many shortcuts so some program
(in this case dosbox) won't get them.
IMHO the info should not be in a file which is hard to find. Better be in the manpage (well it is technically a file also), but the man i usually the fist place to look at.
CTRL-ALT-FX are always reserved by the X server/virtual consoles so I believe the configure should detect linux/unix and change the shortcuts internally to a better combination.
the higher numbers aren't reserved at my place.
So it is all to your own tweaking.
Water flows down the stream
How to ask questions the smart way!
Well, yes a distribution issue actually. I'm with suse now. 10 years ago slackware had only 3 virtual consoles by default.
