As I propose in a previous mail, we should use scancode instead of symbol id.

Why ?

Let me explain:

I use a french keyboard (sorry ;-) ) with a lot of symbols like "é",
"è", "ç",
"à", "ù", and these symbols don''t appear in your
list.
Moreover some symbols are on the same key: "<" and ">"
are on the same key on
french keyboard, whereas on an US keyboard they are on two different keys: how
to manage the shift key in this cases ?
The first keys on a french keyboard are: "AZ" whereas on an US
keyboard it''s
"QZ", so you translate the SDL symbol "A" to the kernel
scancode "A" which is in
fact "Q"...
for the kernel, KEY_Q is the second key of the the second row, but on my
keyboard, the second key of the second row is "A", so if when I press
"Q"
(GDK_Q), you send KEY_Q, (the 2nd key of the 2nd row) whereas I press the 2nd
key of the 3rd row (KEY_A).

So I think we should provide the scancode to the virtualized kernel (because
kernel manage scancode and not symbol) and let it to manage scancode/symbol id
translation using the standard mechanism (loadkeys at the console level, xkbd at
the X11 level, for instance).

Laurent
