The Linux native client for Neverwinter Nights also does not read keystrokes (it also uses SDL). "yum list recent" lists SDL.i386, SDL-devel.i386, and SDL-static.i386, all versions 1.2.13-7.fc10. I grabbed the 1.2.13-6.fc10 versions of these three from the fedora site (that was the version in the original release) and ran: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage SDL*.rpm This had no effect on NWN or on Wine's notepad. I'm stumped.
