Keyboard Input Issues

Gibbs · Post by **Gibbs** » Mon Jul 26, 2010 10:33 am

Hi all,

I'm having issues with a game where my keyboard won't display any of these characters:

{}~@:<>?[];'#,./

All of those keys are in the bottom right of my keyboard (is there a name for them)? I'm looking for tips on what and where to look at for resolving this problem.

Thanks

Do you mean the application won't enter these special characters? Does this happen only in Wine?

The first thing you could do is check the terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Sorry yes this is just Wine (1.2). I've tried this on two different keywords on two different computers.

I don't receive anything through the log file except this (which spams the terminal):

Code: Select all

err:d3d:state_undefined Undefined state.

Have you checked the WineHQ AppDB for your program? Maybe it will contain some useful information that can help you on your way. If not, try the following.

That line of output is probably unrelated, which means we have no output to go on. You may have to enable some debugging channels to get more output, see http://wiki.winehq.org/DebugChannels .

I'm not sure which channels you should enable since you didn't state what the game was, but try any of the keyboard/input ones and see if it outputs a bit more about those now.
