Re: [MiNT] Keyboard-problem with XaAES helmut-branch

This sounds as console would be in COOKED mode, but only for taskbar.
What does the taskmanager say about the state of taskbar? The sleep in
top can also be wait, select, etc.

It says 'S'. Can Taskbar set the console to COOKED by itself?

The kernel does this. It switches modes in some read-function depending on the mode of the app. It could happen that XaAES saw COOKED mode but wants RAW. In the main event-loop of XaAES the mode is always set to RAW to prevent this. It seems that this is not reached anymore. Maybe the real fix has to be applied in the kernel, but this is kinda confusing. When a keyboard-event is waited for by select, it gets the current mode on return, not necessarily the one that fits the caller.

Are you the only one that uses taskbar and this XaAES?

No, but I'm the only on that use this particular version. It's a
non-finished version with a completely new start-menu.

Maybe you changed some bits?
