Persistance pays . . .

What do you see if you run . . . 

        strings /usr/lib{,64}/NX/nxagent|grep "NXAGENT - Version"

If you're using x86_64, you need to make sure your FreeNX is pointing to
whatever you have installed . . . .

So . . . 

. . . it works, with all correct keymappings from ubuntu (with evdev) to 
your
opensuse 11.2 FreeNX with the NX-3.4 nxagent  ??

Did it only start mapping correctly from ubuntu when you went to NXv3.4
and added the patch, or was it working before ??

The issue is the keymapping within nxagent.


If you connect with NX to your 11.2 server from itself,
using the latest nxclient
and look at the key mappings,
that will tell you if the nxagent really is OK with evdev.

Hmmmm

What happens in a Thinstation to NX connection, when you use the
up-arrow key from the group of four arrow keys ( not on the numeric pad)

This is one of the keys which is mapped differently with the evdev
sabotage (possibly the most annoying one)

Are you sure you have (only) the latest nxclient on your pixie image??
