Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 190171
vino (or vnc?) incompatible with keymaps
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:45:33 EST
Description of problem: I use an xmodmap to remap my keyboard to a dvorak layout with accents, same xmodmap on both client and server, both FC5. When I connect from one system to the other, any text that I type gets totally jumbled up, as if the keymap was "rotated another time". This makes connecting to another host over vnc totally useless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vino-2.13.5-2.2 on both client and server Steps to Reproduce: 1. use an xmodmap to get a dvorak keymap on client and server (azerty might work too for testing) 2. log into one system from the other using vnc 3. typing gets all jumbled up Expected results: When I type a particular letter, it just shows up on the other side. Additional info: When I specified a dvorak layout in /etc/X11/xorg.conf things did not get as jumbled, I only lost about half of the capital letters but all small letters just worked. Now that I rely on just the gnome keymap thing for my dvorak layout things are totally horked.
