https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469927 Summary: Xvnc is unaware of CAPS LOCK and mishandles accentuated (non-ASCII) characters Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: nice@titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=268080) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=268080) My keyboard showin the codes collected by "showkey -s" (made for another bugreport, thus not complete but may suffice) User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; hu-HU; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 I connected to some newly installed openSUSE11.1 hosts, and I had to realize that Xvnc is usually unaware of the state of caps lock. In addition to this, I cannot type any accentuated characters by my hungarian keyboard (see the attached image). If I comfigure KDE (KDE3 in this case) to handle kayboard layouts, and manually switch to hungarian layout, then the accentuated characters start to work, but: -they are aware of caps lock (unlike plain english letters) but caps lock's effect on accentuated characters is INVERTED! -other characters (neither accentuated nor plain letters) which are placed differently on an hungarian and on an english keyboard will be replaced by other characters (I get an underscore instead of a question mark for example). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a non-english keyboard, or imagine that you are using such a keyboard 2. Connect to an openSUSE 11.1 via Xvnc 3. Try to type accentuated letters Actual Results: Many things will get confused Expected Results: Typed letters should reflect the keyboard in use -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
