I tested. 
The result is as follows. 
("\" When inputting it. )
1.               2.                 3.                   4.
keycode/keysym   keycode/scancode   event->key.keycode   keycode/keysym

  133 / 0x5c      92(0x5c)/ 115            115             176 /  0x0
  211 / 0x5c


I thought that conversion was something necessary again. 
Then, I saw atkbd.c again. 
When I saw atkbd.c before, I thought that I used only atkbd_set2_keycode. 
However, not only atkbd_set2_keycode but atkbd_unxlate_table was used 
in practice.
Then, I put the same conversion in vncfb.c. 
I was able to input "\". 

Thanks,
