Description Michal Hlavinka 2008-12-01 08:39:30 UTC
Description of problem:
Arrows and some other keys on the right side of keyboard are not working.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run someting in dosbox
2.try to use arrows
3.
  
Actual results:
nothing happens

Expected results:
all keys working

Additional info:
this looks similiar to problem with X server, where keys wasn't working because of new evdev driver

also qemu (#471000) is known to have the same problem with arrow keys. I don't know, but *maybe* it can be somehow related?

Comment 1 Kai Hambrecht 2008-12-02 16:45:13 UTC
i can confirm this. It's an issue with "evdev" driver and not only related to dosbox but also to other (e.g. qemu, vmware). Removing "evdev" and using old "kbd" fixes this. See also Bug #471000
