[X2Go-User] X2GoClient and AltGr-key on Windows

[Michael Nicolai-Deutschmann]

Hi everybody,

I have recently bought myself a virtual RootServer and searched the web for a comfortable way to manage it.
The virtual console window provided by my Webhost provider works, but it's only very basic.

My setup:

vServer:
Debian Wheezy
KDE-Full


X2GoClient v.4.0.5.0 (Qt - 4.8.6) on Windows 7 (German keyboard)
Keyboard settings:
Modell: pc105   Tastaturlayout:de   Variante:de


My problem is that the AltGr-key is not working.
Whatever settings I choose for the keyboard, pressing AltGr++ will result in "+" instead of "~". Same goes for "|", "@", etc.
I am pretty sure it's no problem with the server because running a KDE editor (Kate) or a XTerminal in the console window my Webhost provider offers works fine: pressing AltGr++ and Space gives me the tilde "~" symbol.
So, I assume the X2GoClient software does not send the correct keycode to the server.

I have searched the web for hours to find a solution for this problem but to no avail. :-(

Thanks for your support.

Best Regards,
Michael
