    Hello,
    I've got some problems. I'd like to use keys to simulate mouse movement.
    It works in X (shift+NumLock) but I need it with vnc, where it doesn't.
    Since it's svncviewer, I looked at libvga.config and foud the
    "kbd_fake_mouse_event" directive. However, it is said in the file (or
    the manpage) that it works only with the keyboard in raw mode.

    So how should I proceed? If raw mode is the solution, how do I activate
    it? If, of course, I issue kbd_mode -s, my keyboard becomes unusable
    before I even started svncviewer.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

            andrej
