[uae] Re: UAE doesnt seem to filter illegal filenames with colon in it

Thus UAE should filter these.

Ah, yes. I see what you mean now. I'll fix that.

In quite the same way, MacOS X french users suffer a filesystem compatibility problem : I can't have my workbench in french because it looks for the localization files in the "français" directory and... the "ç" letter isn't coded the same way under MacOS X and AmigaOS (I dont know about Linux).
By the way, the problem disappear if I use a diskfile for my Amiga partition, but it's said it's faster to use host filesystem...

Both. I try with the new one. Well I did. Also here I experience the
keyboard problems. Strange. I have no idea why just some keys should
not work.

Can you run the X event testing tool, xev, and report to me keycodes for the
keys that don't work in UAE. You can just execute xev from a shell. It opens
up a window and reports any X events for that window, such as keypresses,
mouse motion, etc.

I have the same "key not working" problem on my french keyboard (azerty...). It's very annoying because even the ":" key doesn't work (I can't type "DH0:" in a Shell !). If I find xev for MacOS X, could this help ?

Best regards,
Yann
