I've tried FreeRDP to connect to different Linux boxes. It works but using FreeRDP the Linux host uses EN keyboard layout. All my Linux boxes does have German keyboards attached and work as expected when I'm sitting in front of them. My OS/2 system has a German keyboard too. But when I connect from my OS/2 system a Linux host via FreeRDP they get the English keys instead the German ones.

I don't see any setting in our FreeRDP port to translate the keys. Is there anything I'v to adjust on Linux (host) side?

Answering myself, I've to set for the rdp user in hardware setting the keyboard layout. Only problem now is "<Alt Gr>" and "<Alt> <Strg>" do not work as expected. F.i. I can't input a ~ or € on the remote system.
