Hi!
I'm try to use DosBox under xUbuntu 8.10 (linux) on eeePC. It works, but cursor keys not work. On my standard computer, all works OK.
I run 'xev' command on both machines and press keys. xev reports exactly same events, keycodes etc. for arrow keys, on both.
(it looks like
KeyPress event, serial 31,..........
state 0x10, keycode 111 (keysym 0xff52, Up),
etc.)
So because keycodes is same, I can't use 'xmodmap' to redefine keys.
I know about '-startmapper' option in DOSBox, but it is not helpful, because I don't know real low-level codes of arrow keys on eeePC.
Other people reports same problem: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=50911
The most strange thing is, external usb keyboard also not work!
(at least arrow keys and Ctrl+F1 not work; numpad arrow keys is work on it).
Change linux kernel from ubuntu's standard to special eeePC kernel is not helpful.
Please help or suggest any ideas.
Thanks

Thank you!! Reading news was helpful!
(I didn't it before because search engines not show me it. Maybe you please attach in news some tags, for easy finding by other people). 😉
Thanks for extremely quick help.

There is no solution for people with other keyboards?
