freemangordon, I finally got it to work with diacritics. I'm writing this from a 12 year old compaq keyboard, connected to the device thru usb hostmode.

I recall reporting that diacritics were working correctly, but still I was unable to get c cedillas to work; it seems that diacritics in the intl variant of english (USA) is mapped to the Alt Gr-Comma key, which I would never have guessed.

While going through the xkb-chinook directory yesterday, trying to get an abnt2 keyboard to work, I read the pc layout file and it had a dead cedilla mapped to alt-gr comma; while your mapping differs a bit, the trend remains, with yours mapping a c cedilla to that key combination (Btw, where did you get the mappings from?).

The keyboard works great,I have page up and down working, as well as home and end. Delete seems to act up, though, it will go from erasing text after the typing marker to erasing text before it in a few seconds, as well as locking locking shift/capslock, but I'm not sure that has to do with extkbd.

Changing subject, if I may ask... Would it be possible to add support for the abnt2 pc105 variant geometry? Extkbd has no support for this keyboard layout, and that support would be a great addition to its functionality for someone living in brazil; it's impossible to find keyboards with other layouts here, and since the layout is not supported, symbols on the keyboard don't match their output, which can be a bit of a problem...

Well, that's it. Keep up the good work. I've added my thanks and will help push this to extras.
