[arm-allstar] Programming Motorola Radios on a hamvoip installation

[David McGough]

Hi Andy,

The xquartz software is performing the task of the X-server. The dosbox 
application (on the RPi) is the client. All the keyboard mapping is 
typically done on the X-server end. I don't know of a keyboard mapping 
solution for the client end.

I haven't tried xquartz, unfortunately; I don't have a Mac here to test 
with. I'll try to do a little research on what the issue might be. I have 
used Linux and MSWin (MobaXterm) as the X-server and it "just worked" --no 
settings adjustments were needed.

73, David KB4FXC
