[coLinux-users] Re: colinux-0.6.1 issues (MOSTLY RESOLVED)

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

I have fixed the problem after some heavy googling.
It seems the gnome-keyboard-switcher panel applet was causing the 
keyboard mapping problem.
Removing it from the panel and restarting the vnc server fixed the 
problem :)

There is still the problem with xscreensaver timing out VERY quickly.  
Seems colinux is the culprit as it works properly under native linux.
Anyone know how to fix this timer problem ??

Cheers,
Brendan Simon.
