Synergy Linux Keyboard '@' Problem

Question

Im using Fedora 10 with Synergy from Windows 7

When ever i use my keyboard through synergy and type @ i get the Omega Sign

Any ideas, or someone had similar problems?

Answer 1

I had problems with @, <, and >, so I did the following:

Code:

xmodmap -e "keycode 53 = x X greater greater greater greater"
xmodmap -e "keycode 52 = z Z less less less less"
xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = q Q at at at at"

Which solved those three... though I have no idea why the problem occurs in the first place.

Answer 2

This is a known issue, and we're working on it right now. There are several work arounds however, so if you take a peek at that issue, you may find something. If you have a Google account, you can star the issue to get a notification when it's fixed.

Answer 3

Create a file ~/.Xmodmap and add the following to it:

keycode 53 = x X greater greater greater greater
keycode 52 = z Z less less less less
keycode 24 = q Q at at at at

You can activate it straight away with:

xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

I believe this will activate automatically when you reboot - but I hardly ever reboot, so haven't tested this.

Thanks (and +1) to Systech's answer for the contents of the file, and thanks to this page for instructions on how to make it persist across reboots.

Answer 4

pobably a keycode translation problem. Have a look at the synergy configuration. You should use the same language settings as locally

Answer 5

locate synergy.conf, its probably in /etc
