Note that due to a [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/342 bug in Xephyr] your keyboard might not work as expected. A partial workaround is to run <code>setxkbmap <keymap name></code> by adding this command line to <code>~/.sugar/debug</code>. Most "regular" keys should work fine after that, some "special keys" (e.g. cursor up/down) might still refuse to operate as intended. The "keymap name" usually is a two letter country code, e.g. "de" for german or "fr" for french.

== Running sugar in a VNC session ==
Many users and developers have reported problems with running sugar-emulator, which uses Xephyr. As an alternatice, you can run sugar inside a VNC session. To accomplish this, install a complete set of VNC packages (both server and client) and create a <code>~/.vnc/xstartup</code> file containing the code below:
#!/bin/sh
exec ~/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch --exit-with-session sugar
Now, you may run Sugar by creating a VNC session and accessing it using a VNC viewer. E.g.:
vncserver :1
vncviewer :1

The default size of 800x600 is currently the minimum that should work without issues. I.e. activities should be tested to work in this mode (and in others as well).
