I have a problem with ESIX Rev.D regarding a user-defined keyboard map:
The ioctl most useful for this purpose is
[sys/kd.h]
/*
* Structure of keyboard translation table
*/
#define NUM_KEYS 256 /* Maximum number of keys */
#define NUM_STATES 8 /* Number of key states */
#pragma pack(2)
typedef struct {
short n_keys ; /* Number of entries in table */
struct key_t {
unsigned char map[NUM_STATES]; /* Key code for each state */
unsigned char spcl; /* Bits marking states as special */
unsigned char flgs; /* Flags */
} key[NUM_KEYS+1]; /* One entry for each key */
} keymap_t;
#pragma pack()
/* Defines for Xenix keyboard and display ioctl's */
#define GIO_KEYMAP (MIOC | 6) /* Get keyboard map table */
#define PIO_KEYMAP (MIOC | 7) /* Set keyboard map table */
This doesn't seem to work. Although the ioctl is not documented in the
manuals, I would like to use it to build better support for non-US key-
boards. The (documented) ioctl KDSKBENT does work but since a) its use
is much more complicated and b) the PIO_KEYMAP works in the also AT&T
SysV/386 R3.2-derived EURIX system (a german implementation), as well
as in SCO UNIX, I would like to know if there is a workaround?
Please post any useful comments here. Please do *not* send me long mails,
since I have to pay for it.
Best regards
Jan
