First off, Pushwall wasn't correct on what he said earlier. All keys work perfectly including both upper and lower case with no issues.
The XKBD keyboard I was referring to is that small qwerty keyboard that is in the original XKBD installation. The Addison keyboards still work great and kick a-s-s! When I run XKBD by itself, I get the broken qwerty keyboard and not any of the Addison A-s-s-kickers. I was guessing that JustNick was referring to the old broken qwerty keyboad too.

I'm referring to the small white keyboard that I wished to use with the Snes, but it seems not feasible due to all the trouble it creates... Your XKBD layouts work great though (ok, maybe I'm having minor glitches, but they're fine)

So yeah, I might be on the boat with you thinking that your tablet is indeed possessed.
The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you. The power of Christ compels you.

By any chance did you click the xkbd.install file over at the pupnik.de/xkbd.html webpage?
Looking at the contents inside, it's saying gregale as the OS for the installation which is pretty ancient and shouldn't be used.
Try to see if you can't install these two dependencies:
libxpm4
and
Xlibs
You might have to manually install them from your memory card though.
http://nakkiboso.com/knots/pool/diablo/, I just have to check the xlibs version...
Uhm... xlibs is nowhere to be found... Once in red pill mode it should be possible to see every package installed, am I right?
If this is the case xlibs is not installed nor is in any repository I have active, the only xlib-ish packages are in Extra-devel (xlibmesa-gl) and something tells me it's not intended for diablo...
By the way I've already removed and reinstalled (checking all the packages version) twice with no luck...
I never meant to cause all this havok

What position did I play you're probably wondering?
A-s-s-back.
Yeah, that's right.
A-s-s-back.
You see, every time I would run on the field, my coach would scream at me saying, "Hey chump! Get you a-s-s-back here!!!!"
JustNick, if you want something for whatever it is that you're doing with SNES, might I suggest making your own keyboard.
Look at the file Mono.xkbd using Emelfm2. It should be in
/home/user/.rubybox/.xkbd_layouts/
Delete, overwrite, and change the height of that file to make a keyboard of your own.
Only rule is that Xkbd will crash if you tell it to use a lowercase letter for output.
The way to get around this is to send a capslock uppercase letter instead to trick it.
It would have been nice if someone fixed that bug, but for now, it's the only way to get around this program from regurgitating on your tablet 360, fully rotated, pea soup style.
May I ask when the last time your tablet had confession?
Hey Push, did you check out Executive Suite yet that I posted in the other Dosbox thread?
That game totally is something I think you would get a kick out of playing in your free time. Since it's freeware, maybe you could even upload it over at Ukki's site.
Cheers.

I don't think my tablet has ever had confession
Let say I'll leave snes+XKBD alone for now... but what about Rubybox+Dosbox? I read the entire XKBD thread, I saw you suggested the installation of bash2 (don't know what it does though, you said it helped) and there's a little confusion around libxpm4 and/or xlibs installation (the one you linked is in maemo 3 repository, but the "debian guys" alway told me not to mix repositories nor install something that is not requested as a dependency... so i'm a bit confused too )...
Man what an headache... considering I just wanted the ALT to be ALT and not SHIFT and the Dpad to work as reported... D'oh!

Okay, real quick.
Fire up one of the side keyboards and then open up Notes under Utilities. Try typing with the vertical keyboard and see if they all are work correctly. I'm guessing that they should.
If it's typing capital letters right from the start, press the Capslock button, close Xkbd, and try again.
Are you loading a mapper.txt file in Rubybox?
On my screen it's showing a blank, so I guess it's not loading anything on my end.
I just now noticed that my Dpad is also not working either.
Maybe all we need is a working mapper.txt file.
I can look into tomorrow night when I get back home.
Otherwise, maybe Pushwall can find the answer for this.
Cheers.

Just a note about the new hardware (N900): The Pandora folks are saying that DosBox runs between 2000-3000 cycles on their hardware, and it is very similar to the N900, so I suspect you'll be able to get the same speeds on the new device. That seems to be at least 100% faster than what you can do now, and maybe even up to 200% faster!

): keyboard works, but while in notes it is perfect (with the ALT exception) in Dosbox some keys are misplaced (for example: pressing Enter key while remapping shows "down_button" 
)

For some reason, and I'm sure I had a good one at the time, but I mapped the ALT key as Meta_L.
So go ahead and change the keyboard using Emelfm2 from:
default ALT
default_ks Meta_L
to
default ALT
default_ks Alt_L
Again, I'll double check the mapper.txt file and look back over the keyboards tomorrow to see what other bone head things I did.
