- For the video driver used by MGR you shouldn't need anything. It is a very
- simple driver. It doesn't use ANY BIOS at all.
-
- As far as I know, MGR doesn't care about scan code 3 or anything else so you
- should be able to use it without any trouble. As for MGR and non-US keyboards,
- I don't know. I am not a french speaking man so I use the standard US
- keyboard layout, not the Canadian layout.
