dosbox--arrow keys don`t work

(1/2) > >>

alanl:
I`m trying to run this baseball game(SBSBaseball) and I can`t
get the arrow keys to work.   This is on both 1.3 & 1.4.

curaga:
See http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=1296.0

alanl:
I tried all the suggestions but nothing worked.  I made a .dosboxrc in tc  as shown in your post-didn`t work.
I booted without dosbox and then copied it from slackware with the 5 libs it wanted.  Worked OK but
no arrow keys.  I booted without SDL and then copied from slack with 1 lib-worked but with no arrow
keys. 

tobiaus:
actually i have spent so much time doing things with 2.x that i never got back to trying to use the keymap to see if it fixed the issue with dosbox. before (in 1.x) i did not have to use a keymap for qemu or dosbox because i use a us keyboard. in qemu the solution is very simple, add "-k en-us" to the already lengthy list of parameters typical of qemu use- so i've been using qemu with no problem.

i don't use dosbox as often so it didn't come up again. based on this thread i wonder if dosbox is fixable. i believe though, it is. besides i have enough things to worry about without assuming that dosbox is unfixable until i try.

For me the arrows keys works OK. My command line is:
