Hi devs,as you might have observed, Stephane and I are currently trying to get xkbmap settings through to the server-side x2goagent (Python X2go on the client-side).
The work is partially python-x2go specific, but also worth a change of concept, as many X2go users have problems with keyboard settings.
Today I have set up a system with a patched x2gostartagent script. The script abuses the not-used option $X2GO_KB_LAYOUT. If its value is set to defkeymap. The x2goagent options file gets changed in this way (patch for x2gostartagent at the end of this mail):
o keyboard=defkeymap is added as option o kbtype=pc105/defkeymap is used o a keyboard file is placed into ~/.x2go/C-<session_id> on the X2go server On Sa 28 Mai 2011 01:25:59 CEST Mike Gabriel wrote:
And I have a "keyboard" file in the NX session directory on the server containing: rules=evdev model=pc105 layout=us variant=altgr-intl options=lv3:ralt_switch,grp:alts_toggle Which is identical to my laptop's settings at the time I started qtnx. I tried with the Swiss French keyboard and got the following "keyboard" file: rules=evdev model=pc105 layout=ch variant=fr options=lv3:ralt_switch,grp:alts_toggle
@Stephane: last night my x2goagent options line was still buggy, I have fixed this now, but no success so far:
