Using a Modified CueCat & Garbled Input under X/KDE


Hello,

I'm trying to get my modified cuecat to work with Suse Linux 9.1. When I use one of the virtual consoles (CTRL-ALT-F2 for example), i can scan barcodes and the barcode text is returned properly to the screeen. However, when I try to scan into something like Kwrite or OpenOffice, i get a bunch of junk, usually nothing, and Alt key combinations appear to be pressed (menus start opening up). I tried running "xev" to see what was up and it showed a mixture of returns, Alt characters, and a few numerical digits, but nothing that resembles the barcode text.

Can anyone give me an idea about what might be going wrong and how to go about fixing it? Could it be a keymap or maybe X config file? Thanks. Have a good week.

~AIG
