I have the same problem with the server on Linux and the viewer on 
NT. What troubles me most is, that xmodmap doesn't do any good - e.g. 
the backslash, keycode 89, gets mapped to ssharp and if I assign 
anothe mapping, the backslash gets mapped to keycode 90. Furthermore, 
if I assign a third modification to keycode 89, the whole keymap gets 
garbled and I have to kill the server. Does anybody know I install 
the US keyboard layout (00000409) as loadable onto a german NT 
installation?

Thank you very much,
MCM
