I tried this software in Ubuntu 9.04. I am able to type using this. But I find when I type a character, it first prints the english character typed, then changes it to tamil. This happens very slowly. Because of this, i am not able to type faster. Keyboard used: tamil99

Its not about slow machines. It happens in all the machines (mine is 2GB RAM laptop with intel core 2 duo). Basically this software is unusable in linux (tested in ubuntu). see also the comments at freetamilcomputing list at this URL about this products: http://groups.google.com/group/freetamilcomputing/browse_thread/thread/6159503ddf7b9fe1 Pls take this up on priority.

I do not know how you hಅve implemented this in Linux. why don't you use the 'xmodmap' method to ಅccomplish this? This link tಅlks ಅbout how to mಅp keys to unicode (towಅrds the end) http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/X11Keymaps however, trಅnsliterಅtion would be ಅ chಅllಅnge.

also, you don't need superuser privileges to run xmodmap... |
