TightVNC assigning incorrect keystrokes

[cjtech]

The goal was to remote desktop to my linux box from my windows machine, I went down the path of TightVNC.

Installed and ran it.. thought I was all clear.. however the keyboard keystrokes are all jumbled, and seem to be all over the shop. (ie: when i press 'p' it actually comes out as 'X' etc

Happens for all keystrokes.

Had a quick look around but haven't found any information on it.

Any ideas appreciated.

UPDATE: uninstalled tightvnc server and installed vnc4server and it resolved the issue, shrug.

i am currently facing the same problem but the fix mentioned for you didnt work for me. it seems like all my keys are mapped incorrectly, for example if i type "files" it comes out "hlg`b"

does anyone have any idea how to fix this? any help would be appreciated
