It should also work with the little accerometer->joystick wrapper i am testing out in uqm. My experience with accelerometer control so far doesn't make me very optimistic about it being very useful for a fast-twitch game like doom.

BTW, sound works if PrBoom is compiled with SDL mixer disabled.
Thanks for that. Unfortunately this will disable music, but i haven't set that up to work yet, anyway.

I think disabling the quit confirmation is a worthwhile change and would rather not hunt down the place in the code that handles that since you already have. Please share.

The new version that comes with workable keymaps and audio is just waiting for the autobuilder to be fixed. I'll edit this when it's available. If you have already installed the first version, delete the config file ~/.prboom/prboom.cfg before installing the update and it will give you the new keymaps. (Nevermind, i'll just have it mindlessly overwrite the config file this version. It's only the second release in devel. :P)

Fn - fire
Shift / Z - strafe left/right
Ctrl - run
a - strafe

top row of keyboard (qwertyuio) - weapon keys (correspond to number keys)
, - best weapon
space - activate
etc.

Basically the controls are clustered around the fire button on the left (Fn) and the arrow keys on the right. Localized keyboards will probably need the workaround described in my earlier post.
