Oh, obviously that was not meant for the mailing list :-) But in any case,
let's hope we can find some solutions.

Hi. It will be interesting to see if you get any response. I'm working with
another customer which will deploy FreeRDP in ThinLinc later this year, and I
know that there are some outstanding issues, for example wrt keyboard. I will
take a look at some of the problems in a few weeks, let's keep in contact.

Hi All,
My understanding is that this is the correct place to ask for some support
advice with FreeRDP. If i'm in the wrong spot, please let me know and
I'll post to the appropriate location.
I've been working on deploying thin client solution using Cendio Thinlinc,
which typically uses rdesktop to establish connections with a Windows
session host. On advice from their devs, I've adjusted Thinlinc to
connect to Windows with FreeRDP instead because of the superior multiple
monitor support in FreeRDP. Since switching from rdesktop to FreeRDP, the
period key on the numeric keypad (US keyboard) has stopped functioning.
Numlock itself works fine, as do all of the keypad numbers once numlock is
engaged. Also, the key in question works as a delete key (as expected)
with numlock disengaged, but with numlock engaged the period doesn't work.
All other keys on the keyboard work as expected.
I've recreated this outside of Thinlinc. From Ubuntu 18 Desktop,
establishing a FreeRDP session directly to Windows 2016 has the same
result. I have tried version 1 and version 2 builds of FreeRDP including
the nightlies.
Through some digging I've found some information about the differences
between how keyboards are handled by rdesktop and FreeRDP, as well as some
mentions of making adjustments with XKB, but I am unsure where to start.
Is this numeric keypad period issue a bug in FreeRDP or is this a case of
there being something i need to tweak in ubuntu or the Windows terminal
server?
Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Neil
