           Summary: Keyboard input not working
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20040121
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: thomasmg at web.de


I hope this bug report is not a duplicate...

The keyboard does not work in some games (the only ones I tried):

Half-Life : It generally works in-game, but I was unable to type in the CD-Key.
Jagged Alliance 2 (Windows Version) : Keys do not work at all
Icy Tower (small freeware game) : Keys do not work at all
Unreal Tournament (1) : 
Intereting. On first run, the app seemed not to respond to keys.
I killed it with 'killall wine-pthread', then restarted the game. 
UT know did know it was not shut down properly, so it displayed a 
small windows-window (important:NO in-game window) before startup
offering several options (start ut, start ut in safe mode, 
change graphics driver etc...). 
When I clicked 'Run UT', all keyboard input worked perfectly.
After exiting and starting again, keyboard input did again not work.
It seems that it does only work if the pre-game window described above is used.

I also tried WineX (3.2.?), where the keyboard did always work without any problems.

And I of cource tried messing with the config file, but it does
not make a difference If I turn DXGrab on or if I try managed,unmanaged and
desktop-mode.
Moreover, my input is NOT redirected to the console.
Starting wine without a windowmanager (only xterm) does not help either.

It also has nothing to do with the keyboard layout: The same message about the
undetected keyboard layout is also shown in WineX, where input works.
I think you should remove that fixme-message: It only confuses users which have
other problems with the keyboard...which seem to be many.

Please note that the component I had to choose (directx) is only guessed, I do
not know which funtions the games call for keyboard input.

OS: SuSE 9.0 Prof. with KDE 3.1.?
Wine-Version : Wine-20040121.i586.rpm
Please excuse my bad english (I am german) and correct me if I made a serious
mistake.
