[original mail below] I managed to work this out, so I thought I'd log a summary for posterity. Since my "@" key was being recognised correctly by the X sessions (shown by xev), it was obviously a problem in the way that the terminals were treating the characters. So I did an stty and found that the settings were kill = @ and intr = ^? which was why the keys were screwed. These were picked up by default in the VNC session, but not on the console. Just a simple stty sane corrected these, so I've just got to work on the permanent settings and set it up automatically. Back to work. ======================================= I have a V880 under Solaris 8 running VNC server with the CDE desktop, and I'm viewing it with a VNC viewer running on a windows PC. The display is mostly excellent, but I can't get the "@" key to behave. I hit the "@" key while in xterm or dtterm, but it just doesn't show up. It seems to clear any previous text. Control-c doesn't break in. (but these work OK when seated at the console). I loaded the X event tester, which told me that it recognised the incoming keycode & keysym as being the "at" character (and even showed it as @), so I can't understand what I need to make it appear. Anyone done this successfully ?
