Hello,
on my Falcon i have the problem that under heavy load (like apt update)
moving the mouse often causes a key "hang" and repeat. Pressing
the space bar stops the repeating of the hanging key.
On an Atari, the mouse is connected to the keyboard, and produces
keyboard-like events. Moving a mousewheel is same as cursor up/down,
for example. I guess that the buffer overflows when CPU is occupied.
If someone has an idea how to prevent that, i'd be thankful.
But then, its not a showstopping issue. A 100& used CPU will probably
just fail to fetch the IKBD buffer in time.
The more serious problem i have is probably just a configuring issue.
Using dpk-reconfigure keyboard-configuration i can choose Atari TT
keyboard with my DE layout, which does pretty well.
In older X11 (XFree86) documentation, there is "ataritt" layout for X11.
The Debian sid we now work on does not know that layout and defaults to
PC105 even when my xorg.conf clearly defines ataritt.
The tool xev shows that cursor keys produce same keycodes as found
with numpad keys. I have not completely understood how that works,
or there is a more serious issue here.
With modifying my xmodmap i was able to get cursor keys, | and ~
working, but not the Alternate key. Without Alt, entering @ and many
other important sysmbos is not possible. I also need it to move
windows that have their title bars out of the screen.
I would also like to have an AltGr instead of the capslock.
Maybe someone here has some insight, or a good read for me.
Greetings, and thanks for reading,
Stefan
