No multiple keyboard layout support
Opened this issue · 4 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install neatx-server.
2. Connect from a client with Greek keyboard layout.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some countries like Greece need 2 keyboard layouts, e.g. "us,gr". While using
nx only the "us" layout is available.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3.1-0ubuntu5~ppa1~lucid1 on Lucid, with the nomachine nx client again on
Lucid.
Please provide any additional information below.
A workaround is to execute "setxkbmap -layout us,gr" after logging in.
It'd be much better if neatx did that automatically.

This issue is quite well known. I'm not sure if this is Neatx issue or
"feature", as PC serves X-server role with it's own settings.
Anyway, you can solve this rather easily by adding to startup something similar
to:
"setxkbmap -layout 'us,ru' -option
'grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,numpad:microsoft,compose:caps'"
Change layouts and setting in string as you prefer.
In Ubuntu this is done via Preferences -> Startup.

And how can I configure that X-server settings? Both the local & remote user
and the local & remote system are configured to "us,gr". Does neatx provide a
fifth source of configuration for keyboard layouts?
I don't think so, since for single layouts it uses the existing configuration.
It just can't handle multiple keyboard layouts.

Right, I currently use an /etc/xdg/autostart script that reads the current
user's keyboard configuration and manually applies it with setxkbmap if it's an
nx session, so that it works for different users/layouts.
But that's a workaround, it'd be better if neatx just worked out of the box
like it does for single layouts.
