Sorry to jump in here, but I've been trying to set up my keyboard in Xwin for days now and everything I read contradicts everything else. There's a lot of references to xmodmap and xkeycaps. I tried following the steps outlined here: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-non-U.S.-keyboard -layout but I had no success.
I tried what you suggested below and got the following errors: $ startx The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Can't find file "uk" for symbols include > Exiting > Abandoning symbols file "default" Where can I get the required map file? It's obviously not using the xmodmap.uk file that I copied over from RedHat. Any help would be much appreciated!

The layout you will probally want is us_intl. To enable it you have to get http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/XF86Config.bz2 unzip and place it to /etc/X11/XF86Config and add Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" to the keyboard section.
