test-sdl prints "unknown key" every time I press a key. about go-sdl HOT 3 OPEN

Are you running it on amd64 ?
If so, you probably need to regenerate sdl_defs.go (touch sdl.c ; make).
But after that (probably due to bug in godefs) you need to repair Keysym struct.
You need to change the type of Sym from byte to uint32 and remove unnecessary padding.
Im not sure if that is correct on amd64, so you need to experiment, or send me the whole file and i will try to figure it out.

If that doesn't help get the most recent version, i added some more debugging.

Yeah, I'm using a 64 bit processor. I regenerated the sdl_defs.go file, although I got a bunch of warnings doing so.

The generated file is here (http://gopaste.org/view/3nN2O ) I changed Sym from byte to uint32 and I removed the paddings (I also tried different combinations of removing or keeping the padding in the Keysym struct) but I still got the unknown key error printed. However, if I press control and hit any key in the test, then the first number becomes 64 and an @ symbol is printed. When the shift key is pressed, the first number becomes one, but unknown key is still printed.

Cgo adds extra algnment before nested structs. I corrected Keysym by hand and everything except Scancode should work now (for amd64). I will try to find better solution.
