Thanks for the quick reply, but I don't see how this could be a problem
on the server. If it were, wouldn't all clients behave the same way?
Note that we've tried several different PCs as viewers and they all work
fine. This is the same Xvnc server - not even restarting. i.e.
- connect from desktop PC viewer - it works
- connect from Vaio - no alpha keys
- connect from Unix viewer - it works
If we connect both the desktop and Vaio as shared viewers, you can even
type a command (like "ls") on the desktop viewer, then hit return on the
Vaio to get the output. But, you can't type "ls" on the Vaio.
