No key events on NT symptom

SDL Development
1

i have an app that works fine, except under WinNT4 it does
not receive KEYUP or KEYDOWN events. strangely it works fine
under win98 (i’ll try win98 with ‘windib’ driver tonight)

anyways, this is the first time i’ve seen this problem with
SDL and all signs point to ‘Coder Error!’. i have no idea
where to start on this one, but was hoping someone has seen
this before and might recognize what the problem is.

i’ve done some initial tracing, and it appears the messages
never appear on the SDL event queue (so i’m not just ignoring
them :] )

thanks for tips!

This seems to be a known bug, but I don’t have NT to reproduce
it. Can you fire up a debugger to find out what’s going on at
the system level? Take a look at the DirectInput code to make
sure everything is working correctly.
