Re: Keyboard Problem



Hi John,

How does this utility work? Does the device present a USB keyboard interface, or does it create a "virtual" keyboard driver?

The "can't recognize this keyboard" message is new to 10.4. This is useful for detecting the proper keyboard mappings for 3rd party keyboards (ie JIS, ANSI, ISO). To skip detection, you can just close the window and you will no longer be pestered about calibrating the keyboard.

Hi all,

I've developed a keyboard emulator which works perfectly on Windows 2000 and XP, as well as OS X up to verision 3.9.

I recently tried the device on a machine running 10.4 and was unsuccessful. The device appears properly in the USB tree of the 'about this mac' window, but no keystrokes are ever received by the computer.

When the keyboard tester utility popped open, we weren't able to make our emulator register. I received the message 'can't recognize this keyboard' and in fact, the utility appeared to hang.

I used a command line prompt to disable the keyboard utility, but the device is still not recognized.

Any ideas or insight would be appreciated.

John
