Yes, i understand, but the system is configured with norwegian layout. If i change to US layout using xmodmap, I think I will get the same problem.
I am NOT using xmodmap with keycodes myself, just keysyms. The keycodes are preconfigured for vnc (havent't changed anything in vnc), just as in normal X session. The opposite work though, i can use keysym "s = aring" and i get the norwegian character "aring" when i press s. But mapping from the aring-button to s is impossible. xmodmap does not complain, but it has no effect.
