Linux with geman Keyboard as an Xterminal

Hi,

I want to use a Linux PC with a german keyboard as a Xterminal. I do a

X -query hpuxhost

in runlevel 3 and this is working - I can login to the HPUX-Box, and the CDE fonts are OK.
But I have a US keyboardlayout. Therefore I cannot use / \ | etc..... and y and z keys exchanged.

The OS of the PC is a SUSE Linux 9.1.
The /etc/X11/XF86Config contains a section for the german keyboard,
and using the local KDE in runlevel 5 has the correct key mapping.

I played with -xkbmap and xkdbd option, but I always get a "cannot open keymap/xxxx ...... reverting to defaults"
Where xxxx ist whatever I entered after the -xkbmap

What is also working is to log into the local KDE and then execute

X :1 -query hpuxhost

Then the german keyboard works with CDE and I can toggle between CDE on :1 and KDE on :0

Any Ideas other than using a US keyboard ??

same problem

I want to use a Linux PC with an international keyboard. I do
X -query hpuxhost
in runlevel 3 and this is working

in /etc/X11/XF86Config I added
FontPath "tcp/hp003:7000"
and the fonts are great (of course xfs is running on hp003)

but my caplocks don't work!
they work fine at runlevel 5 in RedHat
I suspect that it is an Xresource issue on HP-UX, I noticed that after I do the query to hpuxhost then set the screen saver, the screen saver knows that the cap locks is on.

Is this a matter of setting the keyboard in Xresources on hpuxhost?
