missing extension in Xnest

So where is the bug? It seems that your server is the one which is broken.

That was my first idea, but with an exceed client it works perfectly.

Can you try with Feisty beta or later?

I tried this with ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) but with the same results........

t seems everyone has this problem - apart from those who use in any case the U.S. 104 key keyboard.

It is hardwired into the source of xnest.

I am wondering how one can fool the program - such as creating a symlink to the keyboard we are using and naming it as if it were the U.S. keyboard.

I have also played around with the keyboard extensions option (-kb +kb) and it seems to ignore it.

With regard to the symlink I find it so difficult to understand how X organises and references the keyboard layouts I would be most grateful if anyone could develop this idea of providing a falsely named symlink.

That, together with the security problem - xnest has to run with the option -ac before you can use the nested server - are the only hold-ups I've met so far in using xnest.

At the moment I now run two servers: one on :0 and one on :1 - not the best solution but better than nothing.

Problem was fixed with in Ubuntu 7.10 with Xnest version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8
