I have configured the xinetd of an Red Hat 8 server to start VNC (RealVNC 3.3.6) via XDMCP (as per various posts and help from this list). That is working quite well.

I have also changed the server XDM configuration to map the right-alt-key as the Multi_key so as to be able to enter compose key sequences. The standard XDM configuration looks for and uses /etc/X11/Xmodmap. I added the mapping to this file and it works fine on the console and on sessions with use Cygwin PC-X server and login via XDM. It does not work for the sessions which connect using VNC.

In fact, in VNC sessions the xmodmap command runs and reports the current mappings BUT any changes made using the xmodmap command seem to be ignored.

How can I enable "compose key sequences" in VNC; I think this means how can I map the right-alt-key (or some key) to Multi_key?

Is there some other config file or mapping command I can use with VNC to achieve the same effect?

Is there a way to enable entering special characters ala-windows ALT-numpad-sequence method?

Thanks
