Hi Johannes

Yes I know, and although the libvncserver based patch was cumbersome
over high-latency connections it was still useful (and I was able to
access the monitor). With Anthony's re-implementation I get great
improvements regarding the screen refresh, but I have lost access to
the monitor (so I have to use a separate telnet connection now) and
most importantly, I cannot use my keyboard reliably which makes this
implementation effectively useless to me.
I guess I will have to look into the keymaps myself, but on first
quick inspection I did not find anything out of order in the "nl" keymap.
