Title: [solved]Keyboard layout on TS (freeRDP)
Post by: BrunoBeresa on July 24, 2012, 02:49:04 PM

Gentlemen,

My keyboard layout is "pt-br" (br-ABNT2).
With freeRDP session keys, as \, /, Windows Hotkey's not working.
The TS server is Windows 2008 ...
Using the FAQ, I did loadkeymap procedure, but without success.

What else can I do?

You could always try Xorg and its keymaps.

I edited the topic headline to include freerdp there.

I did the following test and it worked ...

I installed xorg and xf86-video apps going and following normal procedures.

The keyboard has been recognized ...

Hi BrunoBeresa
Xorg is also required in order for Copy/Paste between Windows and Linux to function.

Other question,

My video card is a XGI Z9S...
I downloaded Xf86-video-XGI.tcz, but failed...

I made a script for automatic startup, put the parameter -a 32??

Example:

xfreerdp -d DOMAIN -k 0x00010416(abnt2 pt-br) -a 32 SERVER_IP

any recommendations?

Hi BrunoBeresa
I connect to a couple of Windows 2008 R2 servers with NLA enabled using the command in this thread:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,13550.msg75202.html#msg75202
I don't use the -a parameter since I've switched to Xorg. When I tried running under Xvesa, the colors got
messed up with a 16 bit depth. There is a screen shot attached to this post that shows those results:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,13058.msg71982.html#msg71982
The colors should be the stock Windows 2008 scheme, light blue desktop, dark blue titlebar etc. Those
red and green colors are wrong.

OK, it's working ...

I wanted to increase the performance already logged on to Windows Server 2008, such as open windows and files ...
so I thought the right driver ...

Hi BrunoBeresa
The video driver should only effect the performance of the local computer. I think the main thing that will limit
the performance of your logged in session is the speed of your network connection to the remote machine.

I can not edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa...

For change "vesa" with "sis" or "XGI"...

Hi BrunoBeresa
This is a common complaint. Maybe that file should be named  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.example  instead.
Anyway, do this:

Code: [Select]

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.vesa /etc/X11/xorg.confand edit the  /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Make sure you add it to your backup when you are done.

Hi BrunoBeresa
You need to edit this file as the root user, for example:

Code: [Select]

sudo editor /etc/X11/xorg.conf

And how to activate your changes xorg.conf to work?

Thank you for your help!

Hi BrunoBeresa
Hit  Ctrl-Backspace, you should see a black screen with a prompt, if there is no prompt, just hit the enter key
and it should appear. Now enter  startx  and if all goes well, your GUI should appear shortly.

I had done that, but when you restart the TinyCore everything back to default ...
this is weird ...

I don't understand, do mean you lose your changes when you reboot?

Have you checked if your xorg.conf is restored at boot time?

I also found it strange, if I edit other files, the same is not true.

I installed the 3D acceleration yet, the TS is slow. :(
If Windows CE, the session is very fast.

So I thought it would be driver ...

Thank you!

I use a Thin Client box with Flash Memory(1gb) and 256 ram memory, and 32mb video memory...

I do not know what to do ..


Thank you...
