I've had a quick look at what the gnome tools do, but it really seems overly complicated. Moreover, we want a simplified keyboard. Maybe we could just have keycodes in the keyboard definition, and use xlib to do the keycode to keysym lookup (that way, the layout of the virtual keyboard is the one set in X), but AFAIK, keycodes are vendor-dependant, and I can't find an xlib function to do KeyCode/KeySym to utf8 lookup. Gtk has its own functions and tables to do that, however, maybe we could use it, as it's already in d-i. > Samuel > >
