Hello everyone.,

I've got a problem, and I couldn't find a solution to it via Google. My DOSBOX just won't recognize my Right-Alt key. When I try to assign the Right-Alt to the "key_ralt" event in the key mapper, it mistakenly recognize it as Left-Ctrl (!).

It's problematic for me, since I'm used to the right side set of the ctrl & alt keys, since the mid 90s, especially in Apogee's platforms.

I have a Win7 64Bit system, with Logitech Wireless Desktop keyboard & mouse. The drivers are installed correctly.

Here is a link for an image of the keymapper:

Thanks.,

As a workaround, you can set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib environment variable. That often fixes keyboard problems.

Uninstalling some Microsoft infrared HID device fixes some SDL input problems
