Re: Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX


Hi all,

I'm not using XDMCP but I'm connecting to a AIX machine thru an x relay, and
I also have some weird behavior with my keyboard (I mean, I need to press
shift key to have num pad and 'accents' are not work) but all the other keys
are working fine (I beleive it could be possible to change this with a few
test on the remap of the keyboard).
I just launch Xwin without any -kb extension and I use xmodmap instead.
You'll find the mapping file attached to this mail.
It's Eric Lassauge's by the way (thanks a lot...)

Hope this will help

Francois
