AltGr and other keys do not work as expected when logging in over VNC and GDM
Issue
-
When a VNC server has been configured as directed by How do I setup VNC based on xinetd with XDMCP for GDM?, the
AltGrkey does not work as it should. I.e. on German keyboards typingAltGr + qshould give a @ symbol. -
When connected to the VNCserver from another RedHat client using
vnclient, some characters are not interpreted. In particular pipe|which is very usefull in a Linux console. I.e.on French keyboard (Azerty) the problem concerns the keys usingAltrGrin conjonction with another key on the keyboard.
Environment
- VNC server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6
- VNC client running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, but some other clients are affected as well
