Hi
I am having some trouble setting up dosbox in a way that all keys are working.
Out of the box all the letter keys that are on the english keyboard too are working correctly, meaning "y" and "z" are not swapped.
The other keys like "ä" "ö" are not working at all, the numbers are working like on english keyboard so shift+7 produces "&" and not "/" like it should on german layout.
So to make a long story short I can not type "/" ":" "~" like said in the wiki here.
Then I tried the german language pack from the download section with the freedos keyb.com.
Now the numers are working so I have "/" and other keys are working too so I have ":" too. But now y and z are exchanged and I still have no way to make a "\" or "~", but still some improvement.
I remember that I once downloaded an older dosbox version from the forums that was somehow hacked to have german keyboard out of the box, that worked perfectly as far as keyboard is concerned. Is there some patch availible that does the same for newer versions? I have no problem building my own version if that will help.
So can anyone help me?
On a side note when typing "dosbox -version" with the cvs version is it suposed to display "0.63"? Well maybe the cvs ebuild is just pointing to the wrong cvs branch, but just thought I should ask.
