Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:38:26 +0100 From: Couriersud Subject: Re: SDL: Keyboard layout unknown I have attached a diff which will add an additional keyboard layout to the x11 driver. The issue arose, when I moved to ubuntu intrepid. I was only able to map the keys available on my keyboard. The differences to the existing keyboard was the mapping of HOME,UP,DOWN and some other keys. Now only one issue remains. Dead keys (e.g. ^, ` ') on european keyboards do not generate a "scancode" event. Just a text event when the key is composed (e.g. ?? ?? ??).

.SH "NAME"
SDL_SysWMEvent \- Platform-dependent window manager event\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The system window manager event contains a pointer to system-specific information about unknown window manager events\&. If you enable this event using \fI\fBSDL_EventState()\fP\fR, it will be generated whenever unhandled events are received from the window manager\&. This can be used, for example, to implement cut-and-paste in your application\&. 
.PP
.nf
\f(CWtypedef struct {
         Uint8 type;   /* Always SDL_SysWM */
 } SDL_SysWMEvent;\fR
.fi
.PP
 If you want to obtain system-specific information about the window manager, you can fill the version member of a \fBSDL_SysWMinfo\fR structure (details can be found in \fBSDL_syswm\&.h\fP, which must be included) using the \fBSDL_VERSION()\fP macro found in \fBSDL_version\&.h\fP, and pass it to the function: 
.PP
.sp
\fBint \fBSDL_GetWMInfo\fP\fR(\fBSDL_SysWMinfo *info\fR);
.SH "SEE ALSO"
