wine users - Jan 2009 - Keyboard not recognized. Help, please.

Hello, all.

Wine's Notepad captures my keyboard input perfectly, but nothing else does.
All the software I've installed so far is silver-rated and up on the AppDB
(except for some small programs that aren't even there... I'll add
entries just as soon as I get this fixed). This includes, for example, Bulk
Rename Utility, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and World of Goo, all three of
which have a Platinum rating.

If I run Wine through the terminal, I also get no terminal feedback from
keystrokes. They simply don't register. My native applications all interact
perfectly with my keyboard.

I'm running Wine version 1.1.12 on Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit edition, installed via
the Wine HQ repository. This problem also occurred in Wine 1.0.1 and in every
development version since 1.1.6, which was the latest when I started using the
development versions.

Both my keyboard and mouse are USB, wireless devices. At first, I used a set
(they had the same USB receiver) and thinking that this might have something to
do with it I replaced the mouse (it was a battery hog anyways) for another one
with a separate USB receiver. The problem still persists.

I have not yet filed a bug report, hoping that this might be a known issue with
a simple fix, in spite of Google having turned up nothing on the subject.

Thanks in advance for any help. If there is additional information that I should
have supplied but did not, please let me know. This is my first help request
here in the forums.

You forgot the most important part, what keyboard layout?

It's a QWERTY keyboard, Brazilian ABNT standard layout. Sorry, I didn't
think it would be important since keys aren't being captured wrong -
they're just not being captured.
