Wireless USB Keyboard Not Working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Connect a wireless USB keyboard to the Wii and open Frodo

The keyboard does not work at all. I have tried using both USB slots on my Wii. 
The keyboard works perfectly on Wiituka (Amstrad CPC emulator) and WiiApple 
(Apple II emulator). 

I had an old wired USB keyboard that worked fine with this, but not my new 
Wireless one. I have the same problem with UAE Wii and FBZX too. My Wii 
firmware is 4.2E, and my keyboard is  this one -

FBZX Wii, Frodo and UAE Wii are all based on SDL library. SDL is a software 
interface between the program and the hardware. SDL uses libogc as a further 
software interface.

It could be a SDL issue but also WiiApple is based on SDL. Maybe it is a libogc 
issue.

This is the list of games based on sdl:

Please try Deadly Cobra and DSBOX which are based on SDL too.

I just tried Dosbox wii and deadly cobra wii. The keyboard doesn't work with 
either of those.

Hi.

Deadly Cobra and Dosbox don't recognised the keyboard either.

This is a confirmation that it is a SDL issue.

You should open the issue on the Wii SDL webpage:

(It is not necessary to answer in the FBZX and UAE sections since I am the 
maintainer of them too)

I've just opened the issue on the Wii SDL webpage as you suggested. At the 
risk of sounding thick, I haven't downloaded or installed the SDL software? 
Am I missing something, or is that only for delevopers?

Thanks for your advice.

No, you do not need to install the SDL library which is alreday "included" in 
the dol file of the program you are using.

I tried a logitech wireless keyboard and it works with all SDL programs, so I 
fear there is some incompatibility between your keyboard and the SDL library
