i wanted to play some old dos games, so i installed dosbox from the hardy repos. I have my laptop set up with a 1024x768 framebuffer console.
Once dosbox was installed, i ran it in the console, and it started and gave me a Z:\> prompt. however, when i tried to type, i noticed that the key mappings were all wrong. pressing backspace produced a 't', shift gave some other letter, and pressing 1 caused dosbox to lock up (the cursor stopped blinking). has anyone else experienced this issue? is there a fix?
