Sdl 1.2 swapped key codes

SDL Development
1

So I know that for SDL 2.0 there is the possibility of checking scancodes
and be sure that the key event won’t show up virtual or remapped keys.
This is especially important for non-US keyboards (off the top of my head
German and Italian keyboards swap W and Z).

What about SDL-1.2? Is there no way to trust the event.keysym.sym content
at all?

Googling around I found these two discussion and apparently the only
solution is to move to SDL-2

http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=4249&sid=bc936aa91a5d8cb34d3acc9d02b9a627

Can anyone confirm this, or propose alternatives?
Thanks
Vittorio

Silence assent or mailing list problem?

Alternatively, patch SDL 1.2 with the code that makes this work in SDL 2.0------------------------
