Good idea to use xev to determine what X is seeing. I have two machines with full-size US keyboards, including the keypad. Both are running Ubuntu 8.10 and Gnome 2.24 with the latest packs installed. Both have vino enabled and I am using vinagre to connect to the remote server.
I used the command "xev | grep KeyPress -A 2 -B 2" to filter out keypresses. I pressed the keypad 4, keypad 6, and NumLock key sequential on both computers. The results are below, one line for each key and if multiple KeyPress events were generated for a key, they are seperated by a semicolon ";". Only keys on the local computer are actually being pressed. Local computer only: NumLock ON 4: 0xffb4, KP_4 6: 0xffb6, KP_6 NL: 0xff7f, Num_Lock Local computer only: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: 0xff7f, Num_Lock Local: Numlock ON, Remote: NumLock ON 4: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff96, KP_Left; 0xff7f, Num_Lock 6: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff98, KP_Right; 0xff7f, Num_Lock NL: Local: Numlock ON, Remote: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: Local: Numlock OFF, Remote: NumLock ON 4: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff96, KP_Left; 0xff7f, Num_Lock 6: 0xff7f, Num_Lock; 0xff98, KP_Right; 0xff7f, Num_Lock NL: Local: Numlock OFF, Remote: NumLock OFF 4: 0xff96, KP_Left 6: 0xff98, KP_Right NL: So from this it looks like the Local NumLock state is being ignored and that some part of the VNC is trying very hard to ensure that the Remote X server is seeing keypresses as if NumLock were off. Incidentally, this is the same setup that was seeing Mouse Keys being enabled when using VNC, though I did not experience it when I did these test. -- mouse keys turns on randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192508 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
