Recently x11vnc stopped accepting shift, meaning I could get 'a' but not 'A', also '!' was now '1'. Using vnc from both another gentoo install (tigervnc) and on android had the same result. Strangely enough control still works so I can control-c out of stuff.

The command is
Code:
x11vnc -nonc -noxrecord -noxdamage -noxinerama -display WAIT:0 -forever -loop -nobell -nocursor -passwd password -q -rfbport 5900
and I have toggled pretty much every command with no change. The one thing that did change recently is I moved to GGC8 and recompiled everything for good measure. There was also a sizeable python update recently too. Toggling -modtweak and -xkb also have no affect.

The new ebuild x11vnc-0.9.16-r1.ebuild added --without-xkeyboard to the econf, removing that and recompiling fixed it.

I was also having this issue and I see the "-without-xkeyboard " line is still in both x11vnc-0.9.16-r2 & x11vnc-0.9.16-r3 ebuild files. Wouldn't this cause an issue for everyone using the package? It certainly was a problem for me.

Thanks for figuring out the fix Saundersx.
