so i'm sort of having difficulty with dosbox being able to configure my keyboard properly. oddly enough it's only the arrow keys on my keyboard that are being a problem. in the key mapper, it says that my left arrow key is key left alt, my up arrow key is key print screen, and my down and right arrow keys are unknown.

i do not know what my keyboard's name is officially (there's no cds for it and no name on it that I know of), other than it's an HP wireless keyboard with a bunch of useless features lining the top of it. i tried changing things in the keyboard menu on ubuntu, but it seems all of them produce the same result.

the arrow keys work fine in ubuntu and other applications, they just don't work in dosbox.

So, this doesn't work with non-US keyboards. I use dvorak. I'm having the same problem in VMWare too, for that matter.

I guess there's nothing, huh?

****. It's my fault I "upgraded" to Intrepid. It's my fault I'm using Linux.
