german keyboard not correct working

[dominik96]

i compile vncserver and vncviewer self but it have a problem: on the host machine itself, the keyboard works smoothly but as soon as one catches the keyboard in VMWare most of the keys do not work like (z and y are swapped) and all the special characters are also somewhere can not determine which keyboard language is used

I don't quite follow where VMware comes in to the picture? Are you running VMware inside the VNC session? And it works fine for every application except VMware?

How are you starting the server? And have you configured the correct keyboard layout inside the VNC session? Applications such as VMware are rather picky about keyboard configuration.
