Svorak, halp?

[Gego]

Herro.
I have a little problem; I have a svorak keyboard, and it works with the GLX binary, but not with the SDL.....
so what is the problem? the mouse (if not all controls) laggs as shit in GLX, but is smooth as water in SDL.
more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svorak
I want to bind "ä" to forward, "å" to next weapon, and "ö" to grappling hook.

I have tried to change using the gnome-keyboard thingy but it is only registers in console (shift+esc), but not "in game".

Svorak is my system default.

any tips?

Yuck, that's a bad variant of the Dvorak layout. I like having ' , and . where they are easily reachable (and also " < >), on top of aoe, and instead use Scandinavian letters on the "extra key" of our keyboards: the one right of the left shift. Actually what I did in the end was to create my own layout, as my eeePC which I ordered from the US did of course not have this key. Instead of getting used to two different ways of inputting äöå, I decided to have these keys under AltGr + a, o or ; (the one under a and o). That means it's a slightly modified version of the ArkkuDvorak layout, which still alternates key presses between both hands quite nicely when typing in Swedish.

Oh, and it works great for both the GLX and SDL engines for me.
You can get the modified .Xmodmap file here, if you are interested: http://www.hrfdesign.com/crap/misc/.Xmodmap

Edit: enable the layout by doing: xmodmap /path/to/.Xmodmap
Do check that it works fine before adding to any autostart scripts, just in case.

you sir are mad!:P
Having those letters as an alt-gr combo...... that would mean a real hassle when I type..
I have just learned this Svorak A1 layout....
and then we got the sv_dvorak, but it looks like crap...

Which is better for english? qwerty or dvorak? Just like pretty much everyone I'm using a qwerty layout, but was thinking about learning a dvorak one.
