Keyboard_layout was not found

[Jens Luchs]

hi

My workstation: win98, SuSE 8.2, wine-20030618

My (german) keyboard is accept
with win98 : as 101/102 key or Microsoft layout,
with SuSE   : as PC105 nodeadkeys,
with wine   :  look here

Your keyboard layout was not found! Using closest match
instead (German keyboard layout without dead keys) for
scancode mapping. Please define your layout in
dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c and submit them to us for inclusion
into future Wine releases. See the Wine User Guide, chapter
"Keyboard" for more information.

All three layouts works, no problems. OK

In this case, I opened ./dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c looking for
german keyboards like  my keyboard. But I didn't found any.
So I wrote a new entry like the following for myself:

All entrys are inspected with my Xmodmap and the utility "xev"
and I recompiled it. But wine didn't take it over.

I saw also, the german layout is a "qwertz". But wine only used "qwerty"
There are no layouts with qwertz. Is it a Bug ?

If wine only works with keyboard-statements  from Windows and no
statements from Linux, if they distinguish, that shoud be told.

On the other hand windows only has a keyboard - hid - layout and no
driver for other keyboards, user must have it themself.

What I am doing wrong
Thank you for helping.

Jens
