No, you should use NX libraries version 3.3.x.

(Because you are using Opensuse, you will have to compile it yourself, 
because
the latest "community" version available is 3.2.

I have a script which I can email you if it will help),

and

make sure you have a patched /usr/bin/nxnode with (watch the line wrap)

cat << EOF > "$USER_FAKE_HOME/.nx/C-$sess_id/options"
nx/nx,${keyboard:+keyboard=$keyboard,}${kbtype:+kbtype=$kbtype,}${kbload:+kbload=$kbload,}${keymap:+keymap=$keymap,}${geometry:+geometry=$geometry,}${client:+client=$client,}${resize:+resize=$resize,}${CACHE}${IMAGES}${PACK}link=$link,nodelay=$nodelay,type=$realtype${clipboard:+,clipboard=$clipboard}${composite:+composite=$composite},cleanup=10,product=LFE/None/LFEN/None,shmem=1,${backingstore:+backingstore=$backingstore,}shpix=1,${ACCEPT}cookie=$proxy_cookie,id=$sess_id,samba=$samba,media=$media${sync:+,sync=$sync}${cups:+,cups=$cups}${keybd:+,keybd=$keybd}${aux:+,aux=$aux}${
http:+,http=$http
}${rdpcolors:+,rdpcolors=$rdpcolors}${rdpcache:+,rdpcache=$rdpcache}${fullscreen:+,fullscreen=1}${menu:+,menu=$menu}:$display
EOF

at around about line 1250

The parameter in question is 
        ${client:+client=$client,}


The new (well, 5 years ago) evdev keyboard driver
uses slightly different key mapping ( thanks Red Hat).
