[SOLVED] Running Battlefield 1942 in Linux works just fine, except...

[Skull Kid]

... for when I press the tilde key. The console won't show up. I don't know what could be wrong, as in Windows it worked just fine. In Linux (Ubuntu to be more exact) I am running Battlefield 1942 under Wine. Everything works flawlessly, except for the console.

Any ideas of what could be wrong here?

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention, the K and L keys doesn't do anything either. Meaning the chat function is dead also.

Works fine under wine 3.0 here. Are you running under wayland or something? Sounds like your keymap might be messed up. You might also want to check how you have these assigned:

ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GIToggleConsole IDFKeyboard IDKey_Grave c_CMNonRepetive
ControlMap.addKeyToTriggerMapping c_GIToggleConsole IDFKeyboard IDKey_Capital c_CMNonRepetive

I actually checked again... and yes, I do have both Captial and Grave in the default common.con file inside of the Default folder. Still, to no avail. The console won't show up at all.

Hooray! All I had to do was to add the English (USA) keyboard layout, and voila! It works beautifully now!

EDIT: To anyone from another country than the United States, you will need to have the United States keyboard layout on top, followed by your own keyboard layout below it, like so:
