I'm connecting to a Red Hat Linux 5 host using the NoMachine Windows Client. When using the client, the keys I press appear as though I'm using a QWERTY keyboard, even though Windows has been set to use the bépo layout.
I've tried changing the Linux host to use bépo but there were issues and I gave up because I figured I'd mostly be using it through NoMachine anyway. I'm not sure if the host needs any keyboard changes in order to configure NoMachine − some of the things I was reading made it sound like there's some kind of resolution about keyboards made between the host and client, rather than the client just sending characters.
Anyway, how do I change the layout for the client? Thanks in advance.
I ended up using xmodmap and NoMachine 4, so the keys seem to get transmitted as qwerty, then get mapped to my preferred layout (bépo) by RHEL once I start the session and awkwardly tell xmodmap to start. Thankfully the bépo authors had an xmodmap file available for me that was mostly correct.
