Are other keyboard keys sent to the windows session as they should? I've seen it happen in certain fullscreen games, and it's usually because I've managed to hit alt-tab to change the input focus without sending the new window to front. Just a thought.
Actually, no, they're not. I've checked the VNC list archive and others have the same problem and have had since the middle of last year. I can't find a solution though.
Have you tried alt-tabbing, to see if you can get input focus back to vncviewer?
And while I'm thinking, here's another thought: have you tried the KDE vnc client? The one called Remote Desktop connection in kde 3.1. It's a lot better then the standard vncviewer. Plus you get a nice "exit from fullscreen" button you can click, while all keypresses go to the remote session (including ctrl-alt-del :)
No. How do I start it?
You should have in in the network menu in the kde K menu, assuming you installed all of SuSE's kde 3.1 packages. It's called "Remote Desktop Connection" in my menu. When you start it you get a dialog where you enter the address of the VNC server, and the type of connection between you (it's the only VNC connection I've managed to get running well over a regular modem. And it does run well, I've managed to work from home over a 28.8 modem with it) Try it, I think you'll like it.
