Hello,
I'm using VNC viewer on a PC running NT.
I have 2 VNC servers, one on a Solaris box and one on an AIX box.
On both of these I'm running CDE and in my .vnc/xstartup file I have
Xsession &
Whenever I connect to either of these machines and use the xmodmap command,
it completely hoses up my key mappings. For instance, on the AIX box, the i
key generates an e, Tab generates a 1 and Enter generates a ].
On the AIX box, it's even worse as Xsession, by default, runs an xmodmap
command to load the keymap for your particular language, in my case en_US.
I had to go in and edit the Xsession script itself to comment out that part.
I have tried 2 different keyboards (one from IBM, one from Dell) and
experienced the same problem with both of them. My roommate who has a
Logitech keyboard experienced the same problem when connecting from his PC
running NT to the boxes.
After editing Xsession to remove the xmodmap command, everything works fine.
I did an xmodmap -pk to view the map. I tried this when using all the above
keyboards and I get the same set of keycodes.
Looking in the map that's normally loaded by default from Xsession, located
in /usr/lpp/X11/defaults/xmodmap/en_US/keyboard, I see that the keycodes
listed there map to completely different keys.
I don't have this problem when connected directly on the box, only when
going through VNC.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
