Hello,

I'm trying to open a connection on a VAX running VMS 7.3 through
Xephyr (and with a french PC keyboard).

Xephyr runs on a Linux box. When I open a X session on a remote
NetSD or Linux server, all keys run as expected (for example :
@=altgr+0, [=altgr+(, ]=altgr+)...).

When I open a connection on this VAX (or on my ES40 running 8.4,
same result), altgr is ignored.

I have tried a lot of different Xephyr configurations without
result. Best command line is :

#!/bin/bash
Xephyr -ac :1 -screen 1024x768 -listen tcp -query fermat -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkblayout=fr

exit 0

but @, [ and ] are unavailable. Is it possible to remap VMS keyboard
to obtain these characters ?

It's not so much a VMS question, I'm afraid, but rather some
combination of your local machine's X config and your terminal
emulator. Perhaps have a look at `xmodmap` and `xev` to see
what events the key presses are actually generating, and how you
might modify them to get the effect you want?

I'm sure that this issue comes from VMS itself. Locally, altgr runs
as expected and if I use Xephyr to open a connection to a Linux or
NetBSD server, altgr runs also as expected. If Zephyr cannot handle
altgr, I will see the same issue with all client systems.
Maybe? it's difficult to say without knowing exactly what
events the X server is generating for individual key presses.
One can see using `xev`.
