Dear All,

OpenSuse 11.0 :
I use azerty French keyboard on both my local console and remote windows PC.
I've installed Opensuse starting with French langage and French keyboard
declared.

On local console my keyboard is well fully recognised as azerty incl. €
éèçà and so on.

When remote connecting using windows:RealVnc to Xvnc (running in xinetd mode):
- I can't login using èçà accentuations but the é is ok.
- I well get keyboard AZERTY but without accentuation neither € symbol under
E key, and extended keypad needs NumLock OFF(!) to be with numbers.
setxkbmap -print returns I am in US mode (!):
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us" };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

Strange getting partially azerty with reply of US mode!
Strange as I declared FR keyboard during Opensuse installation.

If I change using "setxkbmap "fr", I get a qwerty (!!!) mapping but with the
accentuations éèçàù ... and extended keypad always needs NumLock OFF(!) to
be with numbers.
setxkbmap -print now returns:
xkb_keymap {
        xkb_keycodes  { include "xfree86+aliases(azerty)"       };
        xkb_types     { include "complete"      };
        xkb_compat    { include "complete"      };
        xkb_symbols   { include "pc+fr" };
        xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"     };
};

What about this mapping inversion US(accentuated!) FR and inverted NumLock?

[ FYI:
1- Using TightVnc from same remote PC give same results.
2- connecting from same remote RealVnc windows PC to a Linux OpenSuse 10.3
works well. ]

Thx
Hervé
