german keyboard

[j.prahm@xxxxxxxxxxx (Jens Prahm)]

Hi everyone!

Rdesktop Ver. 1.1.0
===================

I've read about some problems with the german keyboard in the mailing
list. Here is my experience:

When using the german keyboard (0x407) there are problems to get the
`\´, `~´, `|´ - signs with W2K.

I've fixed the problem by using some parts of code from the patches of
former realeases. We have to do only some changes in the file `xwin.c´.

Here are the changes:

--
ORIGINAL code in `xwin.c´:
==========================

               case KeyPress:
                    if (scancode == 0)
                         break;

                    rdp_send_input(ev_time, RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE, 0,
                                scancode, 0);
                    break;

               case KeyRelease:
                    scancode = xwin_translate_key(event.xkey.keycode);
                    if (scancode == 0)
                         break;

                    rdp_send_input(ev_time, RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE,
                                KBD_FLAG_DOWN | KBD_FLAG_UP,
                                scancode, 0);
                    break;

CHANGED code in `xwin.c´ to:
============================

               case KeyPress:
                    scancode = xwin_translate_key(event.xkey.keycode);
                    if (scancode == 0)
                         break;
                    if (scancode & 0x80)
                         rdp_send_input(ev_time,
RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE,KBD_FLAG_EXT,scancode & 0x7f, 0);
                    else
                         rdp_send_input(ev_time, RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE,0,
scancode, 0);
                    break;

               case KeyRelease:
                    scancode = xwin_translate_key(event.xkey.keycode);
                    if (scancode == 0)
                         break;

                    if (scancode & 0x80)
                         rdp_send_input(ev_time, RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE,
KBD_FLAG_EXT | KBD_FLAG_DOWN | KBD_FLAG_UP, scancode & 0x7f, 0);
                    else
                         rdp_send_input(ev_time,
RDP_INPUT_SCANCODE,KBD_FLAG_DOWN | KBD_FLAG_UP,scancode, 0);
                    break;

Re-compile ... and it just works fine with `rdesktop -k 0x407
computer_name´!
