Hi all, been enjoying df on windows for a while and finally got it running on my 64 bit Debian stable (lenny) install after much ati driver frustration.  Everything is running fine, good fps, but my keyboard, specifically the keypad isn't working as expected.

On the main menu, 8 and 2 on the keypad function as expected, also on the embark menus.  But when selecting a region and in the actual game, the keypad moves me in unexpected directions.  Off hand, I think 8 moved up and right, 4 moved down and left (those could be incorrect, but each "straight" direction key moved in a diagonal instead).

I'm using a standard 104 key keyboard, us layout.  Tried this with/without caps lock and num lock, same result.

I've looked through init.txt but didn't find any settings that seemed applicable.  Any ideas?

EDIT : I should mention that the arrow keys also do the same thing.  Up arrow performs the same incorrect way as keypad 8 (also the regular number row 8 does the same).

You should upgrade to 40d14 - it fixed the keyboard stuff afaik.

Any chance you could be so kind as to point me to the right download page for 40d14 on linux?  I think I originally followed a link from a forum post to download the linux version, and never actually found a downloads page with the latest version...feeling a bit dumb!

Look up.

Pay no heed to those snarkmeisters.  You can get it here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=40349.0

The release marked HEAD apparently contains some additional fixes, so that's probably the one you want.

Thanks much!  Back up and running!

Ran into an issue with a missing 32 bit library.  I copied my old copy (that I must have figured out I needed last time b/c it was in my old ./libs) into ./libs but every time I load DF it deletes the library and complains it isn't there.  (I'm not at home so I can't remember which lib it was offhand)  I ended up making a symlink to the library instead and the game works, but df deleted the symlink when it loaded.

I'm thinking I'll just set the link to -w and that should solve it, but if anyone has a better suggestion let me know...thanks again!

If you post some more details in that linked topic, Baughn can probably help you.
