Weird issues under Linux

Post by pcat »

Hi,

I tried BII under Linux, using a fresh xubuntu 12.04 install, I built the binary from the source repository https://github.com/cebix/macemu, using sdl. I launched it on a 7.5.3 virtual system image running great under BII for windows. BII starts fine, but the mouse movement is very sluggish. Also, some keys are not working. I checked in the Mac notepad and keycaps app and, for example, all the horizontal num keys seem dead. I checked the keycodes with xev under Linux, everything seems correctly mapped in the keycode file (and raw keycode option is enabled) but BII seems to ignore these keystrokes.

I tried with and without JIT enabled. Only difference is that the display is even slower with JIT disabled, but no change for the keyboard issue.

Any idea?

Hi,

Are you running with a default resolution? And did you check the refresh rate?
Please try running with e.g. 1024x768 and refresh rate set to dynamic.

Best,

Have you selected the correct keycodefile in ~/.basilisk_ii_prefs?

Do you have a correct X11 Server vendor string in your Basilisk II keycodefile?

Thanks for the tips...

frameskip=0 seems to fix the sluggish display.
Regarding the keyboard problems, it turns out the keycode file was likely corrupted with a windows/unix text conversion (CR/LF), I re-installed the file from the source and the keyboard now work :)
