[Thinlinc-technical] Need Explanation on Keyboard layout

[Vincent Sourin]

Hello,

Can someone explain to me how work keyboard layouts in thinlinc 
environnement ?
My goal is to be able to use FreeRDP inside a thinlinc session with a 
Belgian Keyboard layout.

1/ I connect to a xfce profile with Windows ThinLinc client (Windows 
client is configured with 'Belgian' Layout).

Inside that Linux session, keyboard works well but I don't understand that :
~$ setxkbmap -query
rules:      evdev
model:      pc105
layout:     us

Q : How can I have a functional 'Belgian' Layout with an 'US' Layout 
declared ?

If at this step, I launch a RDP connection with FreeRDP the remote 
Windows recognized an US Layout (coherent with what setxkbmap -query 
returns)
and I nearly get a functional Belgian layout except that I don't have 
any accented characters working (FreeRDP throws "Unknown key with X 
keycode ...")


2/ Then I try to force BE layout inside Linux session :
~$ setxkbmap be

Inside the Linux session, keyboard still works perfectly (and I still 
don't understand why because I changed the layout ?)

If I launch a RDP connection with FreeRDP : now the remote Windows 
recognized an BE Layout, I got all accented characters BUT
I loose the ability to use AltGR key (and with that, access to level 3 keys)


Thanks for your help.

Vincent.
