very strange keymap problem with tightvnc and gnome

graysky · 2009-08-15 22:34:39

I just installed Arch (gnome) and got tightvnc working. I can come into a gnome-session just fine, but my keyboard map is all screwed-up. If I start typing in the vncsession, the output doesn't match up with what I'm typing!

For example, I type: asdf jkl;
It looks like: abfh

Backspace doesn't map to backspace, space bar doesn't map to space bar, etc.

Help

Hello graysky!

Is there problem with it only in tightvnc ? With older version too ?

yes, only in tightvnc. local keyboard is fine and ssh'ing into it is fine.

UPDATE: everything works fine if I use xfce and not gnome. I would prefer gnome though and I have no idea why it's like this... anyone?

Did you try to reinstall gnome or older version from it ?

I got pissed at it and installed xfce which works fine.

Arch Linux
