Hello Please first let me introduce my company. AXEL manufactures a thin client and we developped (6 years ago) from scratch a VNC client (our thin client doesn't run an operating system). It works very well but recently a customer of us reported problem when using <Ctrl><Alt> keystrokes. For example <Ctrl><Alt><E> to get the Euro symbol.
I tested the Windows VNCviewer (from RealVNC) and it works fine (Euro is correcly displayed). Then I used Ethereal to sniff the network traffic from the Windows VNCviewer to Linux. Captured key events are very strange in regards of the RFB documentation. When I press <Ctrl Left><Alt Left><E> the key events (at the RFB protocol level) generated by the Windows VNCviewer are the following: Ctrl pressed Alt pressed Ctrl released Alt released Euro pressed Ctrl pressed Alt pressed Euro released Alt released Ctrl released It was a surprise because I expected a very simple key event suite such as: Ctrl pressed Alt pressed Euro pressed Euro released Alt released Ctrl released Someone may explain me this policy? What are the rules for a VNC client for sending 'complex' keystrokes? In advance thank you Vincent DEDIEU www.axel.com _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
