I currently handle the nxserver-freenx port from the nx-overlay (see bug #101691). The newest version works perfectly but there is a problem when using it with a different, than the original us-keyboard layout and the new Xorg 7.0.0 modular Xserver. Therefore, regardless what one configures in the NX-Client or in the window manager (e. g. KDE), it still uses the plain us-keyboard. The NX-Server seems to search for keyboard layouts in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb where it no longer exists. Instead the new Xserver provides this directory under /usr/share/X11. A simple link from /usr/share/X11/xkb -> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is sufficient to let it work correctly, although im not sure if this is the best way to handle it. Any ideas how to fix this in a new release of nxserver-freenx? Best regards, Heiko.

I confim the problem with : net-misc/nx-x11-1.5.0-r8 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 In a post here : http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2006-June/003559.html a proposed solution is to update xorg-x11-7.0 to xorg-x11-7.1
A symlink is fine for now. I need to modify the source to include the fixes. NX stuff is not very friendly towards xorg7 in it's current form. :( A lot of work needs to be done to make more friendly. -_- So, I need to write some patches and hope that takes care of it once and for all. :D Cheers.
Hi, I cannot reproduce this w/ X.Org 7.1. Are you still having this problem? Best regards, Stu
Problem exists here with X.org 7.1 and FreeNX 0.5.0-r1. Neither the sym link nor other solutions solve the problem. Keyboard is setted to german on Windows client the keyboard in the NX session is english.

Now, it works! The Problem was the update of X.org from version 7.0 to 7.1. The keyboards didn't get recompiled. So I'm removing /usr/share/X11/xkb/ and reinstall all packages with files in this directory. After this I'm setting the symlin from /usr/lib/X11/xkb to /usr/share/X11/xkb. Recompiling nx-packages. And now it works.
Missing something. Adding AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_X="-co /usr/share/X11/rgb -fp /usr/share/fonts/corefonts,/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera,/usr/share/fonts/local,/usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/TTF,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi -xkbdir /usr/share/X11/xkb" to /etc/nxserver/node.conf
Not reproduced with : net-misc/nx-3.0.0 x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2 I think this bug can be closed.
Confirmed here with a french keyboard layout, nx 3.0 is based on x.org so it helps a lot Closing, thanks for the report
Reopening to set correct resolution
