I just pushed fachoda-complex to the extras-devel. It is optified and has proper menu shortcut.

Fachoda-complex is a flight simulator/arcade game for Linux, tailored for small hardware configs.

It’s free software so you can freely use, copy, modify and re-distribute it under the terms of the GPLv3.

Homepage: http://rixed.github.com/fachoda-complex/
There are also manual and tutorial.

Maemo sources: https://github.com/aapo/fachoda-complex
Video (N900): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8GY...ature=youtu.be

What is issue then? There are no playable settings for keys. Game has 'challenging' configuration for setting keys, and I haven't yet checked what are most important keys.
(bug filed already: https://github.com/rixed/fachoda-complex/issues/39). Can you help with configurations, so we can start playing?

I pasted current keys from sourcecode, comments are mine. Function keys marks them which can't accessed at this moment.
Code:
    { SDLK_BACKSPACE, "Quit" },
    { SDLK_y, "Yes" },
    { SDLK_n, "No" },

    { SDLK_w, "Motor +5%" },
    { SDLK_e, "Motor -5%" },

    { SDLK_r, "External views" },
    { SDLK_t, "Travelling view" },
    { SDLK_y, "Internal views" },
    { SDLK_F1, "Zoom out" }, // in external views
    { SDLK_F2, "Zoom in" },  // in external views
    { SDLK_o, "View next plane" },
    { SDLK_p, "View previous plane" },
    { SDLK_s, "View your plane or closest ennemy" },
    { SDLK_m, "View next bomb" },
    { SDLK_a, "Rise your head" },
    { SDLK_z, "Lower your head" },
    { SDLK_LEFT, "Turn left your head" },
    { SDLK_RIGHT, "Turn right your head" },
    { SDLK_d, "Look ahead" },
    { SDLK_x, "Look backward" },
    { SDLK_F3, "Look at left" }, //almost same than turn left
    { SDLK_F4, "Look at right" }, //almost same than turn right
    { SDLK_F5, "Look up" },  //almost same than turn up
    { SDLK_F6, "Look at the instrument panel" },

    { SDLK_g, "Gear" },
    { SDLK_f, "Flaps" },
    { SDLK_b, "Brakes" },
    { SDLK_h, "Autopilot" },
    { SDLK_c, "Buy a plane" },
    { SDLK_v, "Nose down" },
    { SDLK_n, "Nose up" },
    { SDLK_F4, "Roll left" },  //
    { SDLK_F6, "Roll right" }, //
    { SDLK_F6, "Center stick" }, //
    { SDLK_SPACE, "Fire" },
    { SDLK_j, "Change weapon" },

    { SDLK_q, "Pause" }, //
    { SDLK_F1, "See Highscores" }, //not so important
    { SDLK_F8, "Accelerated mode" }, //not so important
    { SDLK_F9, "Set navpoint to home base" }, //
    { SDLK_k, "Map mode" }, //
    { SDLK_F9, "Suicide" }, //not so important
    { SDLK_l, "Flag the map at plane's position" },//

    { SDLK_F8, "Emergency UP! (...?)" }, //
    { SDLK_F7, "Gun this plane (...?)" }//

I think the basic keyboard layout should have some double d-pad style like cursor keys for pitch and roll and wasd (or maybe better szxc) for thrust and yaw.
Once that is established it is only natural to assign the "head" and/or "look" commands to secondary and maybe tertiary cursor definitions if possible.

The rest will come on it's own where we should try to assign commonly used functions like gears and flaps to self-explaining keys like g and f.
Using secondary and tertiary assignments on the left half of the keyboard should be avoided since that would often require to have both hands on the left side.

A mayor problem that I see at the moment is the combination of hard-coded keys and different hardware keyboard layouts. So I hope your bug report will be solved soon.

You know zarch is closed source game?

[EDIT: video added]

I gave it try anyway (just to proof something...). I got it running on recent speed, but without sounds, without fonts, and most critical: without keyboard focus. So it can't be played. (I didn't test usb/bt keyboard, but hardware and vnc failed) This is not even extras-devel stuff, here we go...
Code:
mkdir zarch
cd zarch/
wget http://thom.best.vwh.net/zarch-0.92-libc6.tar.gz
tar zxvf zarch-0.92-libc6.tar.gz
cd zarch-0.92
wget http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo5/qemu-i386.tar.gz
tar zxvf qemu-i386.tar.gz
./qemu-i386 ./lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path ./lib ./xzarch
(qemu-i386.tar.gz contains unmodified libs from 32bit-Ubuntu-11.10)

Error messages:
Code:
fork sndsrv: Invalid argument
No useable fonts found ! Text output impossible
(sndsrv is trying to use /dev/dsp)

With source code I could do better result, maybe you can get them?

Just out of curiosity - had it ever become working state, or is abandoned project in -devel? I've spotted this another jewel from Aapoantalainen during crawling through repos, and this is only thread abut it that I was able to find.

I cooperated with upstream and game got some nice features, like setting keybindings inside game. But it also got some critical bugs (for all platforms). I will check current situation.
