Help. I just bought Minix 1.5 and installed it without any problems....except that it hates my keyboard. Or, more specifically, my number pad. I own a Tandy 1000 series PC and THEY decided they had to be different with keyboard layout. My number pad looks like this: _________________ | | | | Now, with this setup, it's impossible for me to | \ | ~ |PG UP| enter a '\', '|', '~', or '`'. Instead I get 'E[H', | 7 | 8 | 9 | 'E[D', 'E[A', and 'E[B', respectively. When the numlock |_____|_____|_____| is depressed, the number pad works fine. | | | | I understand that keyboard mapping is dependent on | | | | | software and not hardware, so I can change these codes. | 4 | 5 | 6 | But where? I looked at kernel/keyboard.c and I think |_____|_____|_____| I could just alter a value in there for the IBM PC | | | | keyboard. But which one? | END | ` |PG DN| | 1 | 2 | 3 | |_____|_____|_____| | | | | | | | | | 0 | . |ENTER| |_____|_____|_____| -=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=-=*=--=*=- Kevin J.
