[coLinux-users] VNC keyboard mapping issue

[Brendan J S. <Bre...@fa...>]

I've finally been able to get colinux-0.6.1 to boot and use my real ext3 
partition as the rootfs :)

I've installed vncserver on the partition but am having trouble logging 
into it because some of the keys don't map correctly.  Most of them do 
but some don't.  eg. the number 6 and the enter key don't map 
correctly.  Since the number 6 is part of my password and the fact that 
I can't press enter in a terminal makes it very hard to login and do things.

I've used VNC on a number of systems in the past and never had these 
problems.

Any idea what the problem could be?
Is it a colinux issue or just a plain vnc issue?

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: from what I saw, VNC looked fairly slow.  Much slower than I 
expected considering WinXP and colinux are running on the same machine 
(I'm running XP in bridged mode btw).

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.

u might want to use an X server like x-win32 or cygwin (just do
'export DISPLAY=windows_ip:0'.

This way the response is much faster as compared to using a vncserver.
Of course using a bridged connection might also work though havent
tried it out as yet.
