I've been developing a nano-X application that appears to work fine on x86 linux, but does not work on Accelent's acceLinux running on an xscale processor.
Here are the details...
I have compiled Microwindows to use SCANKBD and have written a small application. The application has a window which is set up to listen for GR_EVENT_MASK_KEY_DOWN and GR_EVENT_MASK_KEY_UP events and a function that responds to different keys by checking event.keystroke.ch and reacting differently to each key.
This works as expected on x86-linux.
The exact same configuration does not work on arm-linux (acceLinux).
I set up the program to print out the value of event.keystroke.ch. For a very small subset of characters, it prints the unicode value that I expect, but for the rest, it prints out really large numbers (in the 65000 range).
I did a little hacking to kbd_ttyscan.c (just uncommented some printf's in the TTY_Read function) and found that the values being read from /dev/tty are greatly different between the two systems. A few characters match up, but only a few.
Has anyone else run into anything like this? Is it possible that some strange keymap is getting loaded somehow? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David Muse
