problems with keyboard thru VNC

Post by solarg »

hello all,
i'm using VB thru a VNC session on my opensolaris laptop, here is my config, the first line representing the machines involved, and the second one the programs used

laptop running opensolaris ---------------------- sparc server running opensolaris ------------------ intel server running opensolaris
TigerVNC client ---------------------- VNC server ------------------ VB 3.1.2 with solaris 10 as guest


Everything will be ok except the keyboard. On my laptop, where i have a french keyboard, when i want to type a number, that's not a number which is displayed, very annoying when i have to set the DNS.
I also did a test with a sun keyboard type 6 (with numeric pad) without success.
Even the "." is echoed as ">"

Anybody can help?

thanks in advance,

gerard
