I tried Johannes' patch on SDL, but it does not seem to help much.  The 
'2' key on the main keyboard for instance does not seem to give the 
correct codes. I get "Warning: no scancode found for keysym 160" 
whether I shift (I should get 2) or not (é). When typing the upper 
numbers, for instance, I get 1<not translated>3451£§C£ instead of 
1234567890.

Do you remember at what time the patch was posted? I can't find it in 
my archive of the mailing list, so it must predate my subscription.

Lga.
