Thanks for your efforts and the info javispedro. One more question for you or anyone else. What's the best way to get the xkbd below working? I've come up with a method, but it's sloppy.

However, there is a Caps Lock button, just below the red Backspace key.

Now, the Caps Lock button tends to carry it's flag when you close out the keyboard.

Meaning, that if you're typing in Caps, but the keyboard is all lower case, just press the Caps Lock button and close out the keyboard.

The next time you fire Xkbd up, everything should be all spiffy like, and you should only have to do this once.

Sorry for such an incredibly small font size.

Is there a way to customize each key as to how big the font is for it? I'd like to use three different font sizes in total.

I'm not finding how to do that. So any help on this would be really welcomed.

Also, anyone care to draw up an up, down, left, and right arrow keys?

Each button is 26 by 28 pixels I believe and the image needs to be in .xpm format. I have no clue on how to even begin doing that.


Edit your /usr/bin/dosboxxkbd file to
#!/bin/sh
xkbd -geometry +65536+65536 -k /media/mmc2/x2.xkbd & xkbd -geometry +722+65536 -k /media/mmc2/x.xkbd



Well, post any responses on the design or you can just pepper my stomach with tender kisses if you're feeling that grateful to me.

Cheers.
