This request was not resolved in time for the current release. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Please provide more details what behaviour is expected and the exact setup and sequence of commands used on the various hosts/clients. I tried this on an up-to-date RHEL 6.6 and as far as I can tell this is a feature, not a bug. tigervnc tries to map the keysym into a keycode to provide the right behaviour on the clients. This behaviour ensures that a client connecting with a qwerty keyboard layout on the host can use it as-is, and a client connecting with an azerty layout likewise. No reconfiguration of keyboards is thus necessary. This is a feature, to achieve the outcome expected in comment #1 you'd have to run the xmodmap on the machine the host vncviewer is running on, so that vncviewer sends 'z', not 'y'. |
