AltGr and vncviewer for Win 95

AltGr works with Win NT (vncviewer release 16 and 19), but not with
Windows 95. AltGr sends a Alt, Ctrl key press sequence, which should
be released before the ascii code equvalent of the combination is sent
(e.g. @ for AltGR-Q).

This happens correctly under NT, but not under 95, where the mode keys
are not released before the ascii code is sent.

Sorry I can't fix this, because i only have msvc 4.x available. Is
there any way to use this compiler? (I didn't really try because the
project file format is different).

A second, unrelated point: did anyone experience the keyboard going
wild after using, e.g.,


$ xmodmap -pke | grep Q
keycode  54 = q Q
$ xmodmap -e "keycode  54 = q Q"
$ xmodmap -e "keycode  54 = q Q at"


the first call of "xmodmap -e" doesn't change anything (as expected),
the second makes the keyboard (and thus the server) unusable.

Is this a known/expected behaviour? I'm using Xvnc with linux
(debian).

Thanks
