Hi everybody,

I'm trying to run dosbox via vnc on a remote machine. Speed's not an issue - I just want to run old BBS software (PCBoard)...
I'm using TightVNC for this, just as I do for azureus (which works just fine..) but with dosbox the keymap is completely mixed up. Completely as in:
"q=c, w=., <enter>=<space>" and so on..

When running a window-manager via vnc (tried: matchbox-window-manager) everything's fine for the window-manager, but when running dosbox in this window-manager the keymap of dosbox is still messed just like when running dosbox directly..

Host-system is debian etch with TightVNC 1.2.9-21, client-system is TightVNC on archlinux or windows-xp..

I allready tried setting "keyboardlayout=GR", "keyboardlayout=DE" and using the freedos keyboard-files - nothing.

Any help is appreciated.. 😀
