Greg, The uMapType change you suggest can't possibly work - uMapType=0 maps from virtual keycode to scancode, while uMapType=3 maps from scancode to virtual keycode. MapVirtualKey is used in the VNC 4 codebase purely to "fake" a scancode to associate with keyboard events, so that DOS prompts and other legacy applications can be used via VNC.
You may have better luck running RDP2VNC to access terminal servers.

The shift key works fine directly on the Win2K box, however if I think Terminal into a Terminal Server of any sort (Win2K, WinXP, Win3K) the right shift key no longer responds. I have dug through the code and I think it might have something to do with Terminal Server doing something odd when grabbing keystokes and the fact that VNC fakes keyboard output in Win95 mode. Specifically, I think using uMapType = 3 instead of uMapType = 0 for the MapVirtualKey() call in vncKeymap.cpp might fix the problem since it will preserve right/left hand key notation. I don't have a Windows development system setup, so I can't try it. So here is what I would like to request. 1) Can someone please verify that this is a problem and not my setup. Can you VNC into a box and then use Terminal Services to another box? I can even provide a Terminal Box on the Internet to test with if needed. 2) Any thoughts about changing the uMapType mode if the VNC server is being run on a Win2K/3K/XP box? Any chance this could be the problem?
