I am still pretty lost here, also after reading your link which shed a
light to many things.
Every suggestion and idea is very welcome!
Thanks,

Hi,
the strange thing is that all other keys and combinations work except
those ccaron, Ccaron, scaron and Scaron, zcaron and ZCaron don't. In
our language there are many words containing those chars and I really
need to have them working.
When looking at the sl keymap file, those codes, even for all other
chars that I type with showkey --ascii, are different than the showkey
outputs, but they work (except those mentioned above).
Now I am totally confused on how could those that work, work ...
Thanks for any enlightenments in advance :)

As mentioned on IRC, my colleague had sent a patch to add ccaron, scaron
and zcaron support for VNC:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/270143/
Looks as if that hasn't been picked up yet, other patches in that series
have unresolved review comments. Jan?

P.S. Please don't top-post, that makes it harder to understand for added

Sorry I was on vacation for the past few weeks. I'm back and I'll be
sending updated patch later this week.
I also added all missing key symbols already used in all keymaps in QEMU
which should fix these problems. I'll send this in separate patch.

If I could help with some further testing, please send me more
information and I will be glad to help.
