: if not running on top of X Windows is there support for international 
: keyboards? I mean can Nano-x use any keyboard mapping files used by X 
: Windows directly?

As you saw in nxlib/StrKeysyms.c, the keyboard mapping files
aren't coming from X11, but from Linux.  Thus they will need
to be replaced as discussed in the previous email, in this file.




: 
: Or shall this be implemented in the keyboard driver in the drivers 
: directory?

Microwindows-only scancode conversion to international keyboards
can be added in the drivers/kbd_ttyscan.c file, but this won't
affect the X11 translation for nxlib.  Ideally, NXLIB should query
microwindows for the current scancode table, rather than getting
it from the OS.  For the time being, you could put the table in 
a .h file, and we'd include that same file in both places.

Regards,

Greg
