Thank you guys for the tips,
in the meantime I did some more search and found /usr/openwin/demo/xev on my
Sun Solaris machine.
Unfortunately, more confusion followed:
1. I found I've got four different keyboard mappings: two for each keyboard (my
home Windows
keyboard and my work Sun keyboard), different 'xmodmap -pke' when I work
directly (or ssh) and
when I work through VNC viewer. Quite screwed up! And I am not even mentioning
here that some keys
work only in "Full Screen" mode since that's OK.
2. After running "xev", I found that
* my Caps_Lock event is picked up by the Linux and just switched caps, not
detected and
reported by xev
* All other keys report to xev and I see their respective code numbers, so I
figured that's
"almost" OK since I have 104 keys and at least three are extra (Menu, Super_R,
and F13).
3. I went into a "Full Screen" VNC terminal and typed
xmodmap -e 'keysym F13 = F15 F15 SunFront'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 254 = F15 F15 SunFront'
and a number of similar commands, all in vain! No special key could be turned
into SunFront! In
fact, when I typed xmodmap -pke again, I saw that the special Windows keys had
been miraculously
moved to other keycodes (which was confirmed by xev). So of these keys (I also
did Alt_R) moves to
a blank code when I remap its code to SunFront?!
Wez, thanks for the -RemapKeys option tip of vncserver 4.1. In order to try it
however, I need to
run xev at work (on Monday) and see the symbolic code of SunFront, then try to
map one of my home
keyboard symbols to that one. At first, I was confused by the hex notation of
keysyms (I looked up
the Xvnc manual), but I guess it may be more specific and error-proof than s.th
like "F15 F15
SunFront".
More ideas?
