Maybe you can move the bug to SDL libs.I believe a similar issue was reported a while ago and I also had some troubles with alienblaster a while back because my keyboard was detected as a joystick. Eventually we reassigned the bug report to udev. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=711350 If you tell me what type of keyboard you use I could reassign this issue to udev as well. I don't believe that SDL or powermanga are at fault here. P.S.: Please fix your e-mail server because it rejects my emails. Regards, Markus
