Hello,
I come from the Windows world and run a Debian server (jessie) without a
graphical interface (no X server installed), keyboard and screen.
Operation is normally via putty from the windows7-PC (German QWERTZU
keyboard). On the Linux console all characters of the third level (AltGr
or right Alt key) are displayed correctly! If I call xterm via
x2go-Client (V. 1.1.1) the AltGr key has no effect!
- The automatic keyboard recognition is activated at the client!
- The files $HOME/.Xmodmap-x2go and $HOME/.Xkbmap-x2go do not exist on
the server. The result of
@09:56:57#~# xmodmap -pke
keycode 8 = Mode_switch NoSymbol Mode_switch
keycode 9 = Escape NoSymbol Escape
keycode 10 = 1 exclam 1 exclam onesuperior exclamdown onesuperior
keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl twosuperior oneeighth twosuperior
keycode 12 = 3 section 3 section threesuperior sterling threesuperior
keycode 13 = 4 dollar 4 dollar onequarter currency onequarter

keycode 19 = 0 equal 0 equal braceright degree braceright
...
keycode 113 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift
...
But AltGr+0 do not display curly braces. For the sake of
completeness, this information:
@10:07:13#~# xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L
(0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x8), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
- Starting xev on the server an pressing the AltGr key displays
KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x400001,
root 0x6b, subw 0x0, time 1033835042, (-99,-134), root:(662,1193),
state 0x10, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift),
same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
- The directory /etc/X11/xkb on the server is empty, so setxkbmap
reports an error under xterm!
- For the pros among you, I will attach the log file to the following
session:
* starting the x2go client
* start from xterm
* Key sequence QWERTZU[ENTER] AltGr+7[ENTER] exit[ENTER]
* closing the x2go-client
Someone an idea?
