Hi,
I know this topic has been discussed many times but i have not seen the solution posted. I have a fellowes usb folding keyboard. I am running cacko C3kb1 rom on my C3000. Most of the keys on the usb KB work except the punctuation keys like , . ? <> and so on. If i use Keyhelper program that is preinstalled on it, it does not seem to reconize all keys. Like if i push ? key to find out how to change the mapping, it does not register the key press.
Also some time when i plug the keyboard in NONE of the keys work on the right hand side. If i unplug the keyboard then plug it into a windows machine type on it for a second then unplug it and replug it back into the zaurus the keys work again. I have no idea why this is. If anyone knows please post here. I know others have noticed this aswell.
My main question is how to i get all the punctuation key mapped properly. I am also using this KB under the Guylhem rom. All the keys work just fine under his rom. Except when the right hand side of the keyboard is not working. unpluging and doing the windows thing stated above fixes it though.

Surely there is someone out there who has ran across this problem and found a fix for it. I know it is a holiday weekend. I guess i will just wait and be patient.

I had the <> .,? keys working before but could not figure out the symbol keys, ie @%^&*() in the top row above the number keys so I sorta gave up on it since my other Z got fried around that time.

I have posted a keyhelper.xml for a German keyboard layout (https://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Keyhelper_German_Keyboard_Layout) to the oesf wiki. It's not perfect but more or less working. HTH

So, do i need to install something like keyhelper and then load a .xml file to make the keyboard work? If this is correct how do i do it. I am used to Guylhem's rom in which it all just works. He has hacked the kernel so it is integrated into the rom.
