Package: libsdl1.2debian Version: 1.2.13-2 Severity: normal in a qwerty keyboard, there is no need for a modifier key to access the numbers in the number row, but in a azerty keyboard, symbols are acceded without a modifier key and shift must be used to access the numbers. but SDL report event about the symbols, breaking many apps.
for example, hitting the '1' key produce this output in checkkeys : - without a modifier Key pressed: 38-& (&) modifiers: NUM Key released: 38-& modifiers: NUM - with shift Key pressed: 304-left shift modifiers: LSHIFT NUM Key pressed: 38-& (1) modifiers: LSHIFT NUM Key released: 38-& modifiers: LSHIFT NUM Key released: 304-left shift modifiers: NUM so any apps checking for SDLK_1 will break; it's impossible to produce this event. this breaks many games. the workaround is to change to a qwerty layout, but then you ends up being confused zith the key,qp -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24batchyx8.3 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libsdl1.2debian depends on: ii libsdl1.2debian-alsa 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 libsdl1.2debian recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
