Keymap issues with NX from Mac OS X Lion
- by Andy
I tried to answer the question from Mark:
Keymap issues with NX from Mac OS X Lion to Ubuntu
However, it is locked so I figured I would post a new question / answer.
I have been trying to answer this for a few days now because I have no issues when connecting through NX Client (technically OpenNX) to FreeNX server from an iMac (with Lion), but if I try to connect with a Macbook Pro I get horrible keyboard binding issues. The fix that is working for me is to go into:
~/.nx/config/HOST.nxs
and change:
<option key="Current keyboard" value="false"/>
<option key="Custom keyboard layout" value="empty"/>
<option key="Grab keyboard" value="false"/>
I have tried this on three NX Servers and all are fixed. Hope it helps or gets you closer. Always check in the ~/.nx/temp/ for the sshlog and see if --keyboard="empty/empty" instead of "pc105/en" because the Mac is really pc104.
