[FreeNX-kNX] Client reports keyboard dk instead of keyboard da to Windows...

[Alastair Johnson]

This patch is so simple you may as well do it by hand. Find freenx  file 
nxnode (mine's in /usr/bin) and open it for editing. Go to line 224. The code 
will look very much like that in the patch, but missing the lines beginning 
with a +. Insert the missing lines (but without the '+') and save the file.

The patch is generated by the diff command which finds the differences between 
2 (groups of) files. This generates output like the patch below. The patch 
command can apply that output to existing files. This saves passing round a 
whole source file or tree when only a few lines have changed. Both commands 
have comprehensive man pages, and google is your friend if you want to find 
out more. Graphical tools like kdiff3 can be handy too.
