Hi all,
Some of you will already be aware of this issue, as it has been discussed
on #qemu on freenode (irc). This issue is as follows.
http://www.haltech.com.au/downloads/E6GMv509.zip
This particular application, which is used to tune the aftermarket fuel
injection computer in my car, has a problem when running in native
DOS mode, where two keypresses are received, instead of just the one that
was actually pressed. In particular I'm referring to the cursor keys.
Interestingly enough, this behaviour is not exhibited when the program is
run from within either win98se or win2k. However, as this program needs
direct access to the serial port, this is not a desirable workaround.
You can test this by selecting offline mode when starting the application.
Press ALT F to get to the file menu, and try navigating around with the
cursor keys.
Apologies that this issue has already been posted in the forums under the
Linux section, however as this is of a more technical nature I thought it
would be best directed towards the developer's list.
It might be of note that I'm using a debian sid system, but I've also
tried it on Ubuntu Breezy, and several others have reproduced the same
result.
Regards,
David B.
