Re: Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX

["frederic bregier" <fbregier at webmails dot com>]

I'm sorry, but it seems it's not a good answear.
Once again :
- I cannot change the configuration of the AIX Server
(the main reason is that in fact, I have MANY servers,
some AIX, some Solaris, some Linux,...)
- I just can change the "local" configuration, that is to
say the client for XDMCP.

My connexion is like :
start /B XWin -screen 0 1400 1050 -emulate3buttons -unixkill :0 -kb
-query %AIXIP%

I cannot use the option +kb since AIX NEEDS the option -kb 
(the reverse option of +kb, as the FAQ said).
Of course, if I use a commercial version of such a X11 client
(exc..d), my connexion is perfectly in french keyboard,
according to my local PC configuration.

And I try to figure out how to do the same thing in order to
replace all my exc..d tools by Cygwin/XFree.

I am not new in Unix, nor in X11, but there, I can't figure
out a solution. I even try to recompile it, without success.

Any Ideas ?
