[X2Go-User] Keyboard layout settings in client not taken into account

[Burnce at gmx.net]

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your info. I have upgraded to x2goserver 3.1.1.1 and now the mapping of the client-side keyboard is attempted. But I am still facing problems:

1) The options set in the client are not taken into account (i.e. whatever I set, x2go tries to map to the client side keyboard mapping)
2) On the Swiss keyboard, many special characters require the use of the right alt key (Alt Gr). However, this key seems to be ignored by x2go's mapping functionality. This makes my system completely unusable. The only workaround appears to be to create a session from a machine with a US keyboard, disconnect and resume from the machine with the Swiss keyboard. This gives me the US layout.

Where can I find documentation on the use of x2gosetkeyboard? I cannot seem to get it to work.

Best,

Burnce
