Source Package



Keyboard configuration file (for v1.0)

I've heard that some Macs cannot handle throttle keys or some others properly. Thanks to Aj MacLeod, we can use the fixed keyboard.xml, which might enable some Mac to properly handle throttles, etc. See the link below to download the revised keyboard.xml file at the "Attached files" section. Read the explanation at the tracker info for installation instruction.
