Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2003 10:12:56 +0100 Topicbox-Message-UUID: 87474616-eacc-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025 Since the plan is translating some runes to other ones within the user level keyboard driver, I'd need both to 1. change the kernel driver to supply alt/altgr as regular keys before each key they modify. 2. change the format of the keymaps to be rune in us kbd -> rune in desdired map. This means that all our kbd_xx.c would become obsolete, and we'd need to build other tables. That's the cons, the pro is that we would start using the distributed kernel driver, as is (Of course assuming that it's acceptable to dismantle alt processing in it). As a side note, it'd be fairly easy to build these tables, since they're using keys and not keycodes. IMHO this removes also the need for dynamic maps. Let me know, because I'm already all set and it wouldn't be worth to make the change if it doesn't remove all alternate keyboard drivers.
