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

[David McGough]

Hi Andy,

I did some googling and found one possibility for the keyboard mapping
issue.  Take a look in the OSX X11/xquartz setup menu for a switch with a
comment something like: "Follow the system keyboard layout" ...Try turning 
this ON and restart the X11/xquartz server software; and try the 
connection to the RPi/dosbox, again.

(keeping fingers crossed!)
