****************************solved Problem********************************************
i run MX Linux on a second ( without Monitor) PC and connect via Tightvnc to MX Linux.
That works ok, but:
I can't type into featherpad or MX Installer (Search-field)
All keys are messed up?
No probs for Libreoffice, thunderbird, geany ...
Really strange issue.
Clipboard won't work too, but thats not MX Linux!
Any tipps about that?

Re: MX Linux via vncviewer
Do you connect over ssh?
I have no idea what this " keys are messed up" expression means.
Can you describe it a bit more clearly.
Thanks
and welcome to the forum.

Re: MX Linux via vncviewer
... thanks for your quick response!
what i do is:
connect per ssh and there on second PC:
$ vncserver
(Thats an alias for tightvncserver)
Result:
New 'X' desktop is mx:1
Starting applications specified in /home/john1/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/john1/.vnc/mx:1.log
On main PC:
then vinagre to show mx:1 desktop.
Thats ok so far, but:
Featherpad on mx:1, new document: Type character A ... nothing happens or wrong character like ' are shown. Even backspace to delete doesn't work.
My guess: wrong keymap(?). But why only in Featherpad and MX installer ... and not in Firefox or thunderbird.
I try now x11vnc on mx:1.
German locale!
I'm a happy german pensioner with plenty of time to fight against such probs :-)
Interesting: Linux MX in a VirtualBox install doesn't has this probs, everything works fine, so the the reason for probs above isn't MX Linux!

Re: MX Linux via vncviewer
Not sure why Qt5 apps behave differently. If you set in both systems the system-keyboard and system-locale identical to the user's keyboard and locale, would that make a difference?

Re: MX Linux via vncviewer
Little success:
A)
Edit Boxes of "Mx Package installer" ... : type first to an extra editor, then copy and paste the package name for example to this shity "MX Package installer" search box. That works!
-> No more probs with MX Tools that don't accept my keystrokes!
B)
To get the clipboard running vncserver to my first PC you have to install package autocutsel and execute per session: autocutsel -fork
Ok, these german Umlauts as: ä ö ü are not handled correct: you get "Tofu" :-)
remark:
... i think that is of no use to change keyboard and local settings: they are valid for whole system and not special to individual app.
... wondering why autocutsel is not a dependency of vncserver package. I found that solution with google?!!
