Indeed now it's all OK. > Yes, and probably yes. Old versions of VNC misbehaved when there were more > than 2 keysyms per key. In addition, if you are using keycodes in your > xmodmap I introduced the xmodmap because I was used to use the dxnotepad editor and use an Alt-S sequence to save files. Later they swapped the Alt and Compose keys and assigned Alt-S to a different accelerator. All what I did was to map the compose key to Ctrl (otherwise it inserted funny non printable characters). Moreover nowadays I use routinely a different editor, so probably I won't need it anymore. Also in any case should it not be sufficient to run xmodmap on the machine with the physical console and keyboard attached ? i.e. the one running the VNC viewer. I just tried to call up a dxnotepad session on the other machine (the VNC server) in the VNC display and all went OK ! > What version of VNC are you running again? the viewer is 3.3.2 VNC binary distribution from the original ORL site the server is 3.3.3r1 VNC binary distribution just installed from ftp://public.arl.arizona.edu/pub/sware/vnc-current_osf.tgz Now that I've solved the keyboard problem, could somebody go back to my yesterday's posting with subject "CDE login on Alphas with VNC" and check my XDMCP configuration and my list of minor (or not so minor) problems ? I start the VNC server at boot from /etc/dt/config/Xservers with :1 Local local@none XXX YYY -once -query servername :1 where XXX is a modified vncserver script and YYY is the geometry. This works OK the first time, creates the correct dtlogin instances and I can connect and login. Also a a CDE logout (from root menu where I've assigned it instead of front panel) works, and kills the viewer (this used not to be the case for a CDE session started via rsh and "jumped in" without dtlogin) . It also kills the Xvnc however, and it is not restarted (my main X server is instead killed and restarted at each logout by a change of resources) Is there any clever way to restart Xvnc ?
