I have somewhat working version of SDL Frodo build with pixeldoubling enabled via Xsp.

Yes I tried this XSP extension with Frodo after I read about it, on the mameo developer mailing list. It worked, but I think it is not really a good solution. So I decided not to use it.

Also this Xsp solution is device specific. The best way, I think, would be to implement some kind of scaling or pixel doubling directly in the Frodo code. But maybe on some devices this is to slow and device specific code is nevertheless necessary. But for me this is not the first goal for Frodo. First it should be useable than such things like a better screen resolutions on some devices would be nice.

My solution I work on, is not an universal SDL keybord it is an on screen keybord with a C64 keybord layout.

But you are right, a generic SDL on screen keyboard would be nice. At best with changeable keybord layouts. But this would be more work to do. So I personally will concentrate on a C64 on screen keyboard.
