maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] Fceu-gui (including fceu) for N900

I know that this might be somewhat of an overkill, but for the ones using gamegripper like me, I fixed the fixed keys problem by creating a subset of the keyboard mapping.

By adding this:

Code:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

partial alphanumeric_keys

xkb_symbols "fce" {

    include "nokia_vndr/rx-51(english_base)"

    include "nokia_vndr/rx-51(arrows_4btns)"



    name[Group1] = "FCE_Ultra";



//original T now L

    key <AD05>        { [        l,                T,                5,                t                ] };

//original U now O

    key <AD07>        { [        o,                U,                7,                u                ] };

//original O now U

    key <AD09>        { [        u,                O,                9,                o                ] };

//original L now T

    key <AC09>        { [        t,                L,                exclam,                l                ] };

//original R now H

    key <AD04>        { [        h,                R,                4,                r                ] };

//original H now R

    key <AC06>        { [        r,                H,                parenleft,        h                ] };

};

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

to the file:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51
(backup first, and DO NOT reboot unless the command worked!!!)
Now I am able to play using gamegripper by reseting the keys using the fceu-gui after invoking:
setxkbmap -layout fce
and then after I'm done playing I invoke:
setxkbmap -layout us
This works for me because I use the US keyboard, If you are an AZERTY or russian or other you'll have to modify my changes to accomodate your layout.
PS: You'll HAVE to change the "r" button to some other that has no function like I did because when you hit w+d+l+left, it will bring an "r" from nowhere (at least does on mine).
As a failsafe (if you are stuck with t as l, u as o, r as h and vice-versa, by locking the caps and hitting shift+fn+key it will spill the lowercase of those six changed chars.)
Maybe this could be incorporated as an option in a possible future version of fceu-gui?
Hope this helps someone else.
