Wrong keyboard mapping

Kurt63

Hi,

when we use Virtuoso (Library Manager IC6.1.8) running on a Linux server from a Solaris 10 box, the key mapping is wrong (e.g. q -> r, w -> p, e -> 6).

Our command to perform the connection is 'ssh -X server', what works well for all other programs.

From a PC with an X emulator (MobaXterm, X2Go)  also Virtuoso is okay.

What can I do to solve this problem?

Regards,

Kay

    Ain't got a solution as yet but probaly the reason for this strange behavior.
    After some investigation I found out, that

    1. The XKEYBOARD extension (XKB) of Solaris 10 isn't fully functional. Therefore QT (starting with version 5) falls back to the hard coded keyboard, what I can overwrite with the five variables XKB_DEFAULT_RULES, XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL, XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT, XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT and XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS.

    2. This mechanism seems to be buggy in QT 5.9.1 (used in IC_6.1.8.060). Because a fix is implemented in QT 5.11.0, we have to wait the the appropiate IC release.

    Kind regards,
    Kay
