The problem is that pcemu establishs a reverse mapping from the X key symbols it receives to what it thinks would be the PC keyboard layout, so it can convert the X events into PC scancodes. Naturally, this is just the reverse of a DOS keyboard driver, and thus dependant on the keyboard layout your X server is using. The original pcemu only contained a US layout, and a UK layout as a compile-time option. You could download the FreeBSD port version, where i've included a patch that allows to adjust the reverse mapping from within your ~/.pcemu file. Note that this doesn't already give you a correct non-US layout afterwards: it only ensure you get the correct scancodes. You need to install a non-US keyboard driver in DOS then, and i should add that i never got this combination to work for some unknown reason. I didn't tried hard though, and simply can live with the US layout whenever i use pcemu. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
