I looked at the VNC client settings but there is nothing about the keyboard. Obviously I could wire the Pi up to my monitor and hook up a different keyboard and mouse for it and work that way. But it is inconvenient since I then lose all of the normal activity on my Win7 desktop plus the ability to copy/paste between the windows. And I don't have the multiple display setup that Graeme and Mark is currently discussing on the fpc-other mail lits.... Maybe skipping VNC in favour of X could be a solution? But I tried that when starting with the RPi2 dev system back in October and could never even understand how it worked let alone find suitable software for my Wind7 X64 laptop to work as an X server.... Or understand how the Raspbian desktop would land on the Win7 X screen. :( I will go to the RPi forum and ask people there about setting up X for this purpose. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
