Okay, I tried that, same thing, I can type in anything on the xkbd, but the directional keys still don't work. And no, I don't have any of the joystick options enabled.
So numbers 1 through 9 work correctly?

I personally have yet to find a game that requires the directional keys. You're talking about the up, down, left and right buttons on a standard keyboard, correct?

Just to be sure on this, you're having problems with the four buttons that have a circle to them in either the Rightdosbox2 or Leftdosbox2 xkbd keyboard?

yep. as well as the directional keys on the upper left on the face of my n800.

and yes, number keys on xkbd 1-9 work fine... I did try the NL key, figuring it was numlock, and it doesn't allow the keypad to move the avatar. Plus, I'd just prefer my hardware directional keys to work.

Okay. Give me a few minutes and I'll look into it.

What game are you using again so I can test this?

Let me throw in one suggestion.....run XTerm and from the command line type in rbox to run RubyBox. Now see if the directional key works in the games.

Think I might have even a better suggestion than Pushwall's.

Okay.

Press the hardware "Home" key on the tablet during your game.

This should pull up a Dosbox tab thingie on the left side.

Next, tap the stylus anywhere on the screen except for that tab area. This will close the tab.

See if everything works after that and post back.

Well shoot!

I know that there are times when xkbd doesn't respond at all in Dosbox and the above trick immediately resolves the situation.

I tried running Ultima IV, the upgrade version but it's been crashing on me.

What are your settings for this?

Basic:

cpu cycles 1400
render frameskip 2
sdl fullscreen false

advanced:

mixer prebuffer 400
sdl autolock true
sdl mapperfile /home/user/.rubybox/.mappers/mapper72.txt
