This was very annoying for me until someone mentioned replacing Vino with x11vnc:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=45565 I haven't had a single issue after making the switch. What was happening before the switch: Mouse keys turns on randomly when using VNC from Windows clients to connect to Vino on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. -and- Periodically, my NumLock would turn off on Ubuntu and I had to physically turn it back on with the keyboard on the box (VNC never would allow NumLock to turn back on). Again, x11vnc fixed it completely. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
