Hi! I have just seen this thread, and report EXACTLY the same problems that Stephan has reported. Mouse, Shift, Alt, Ctrl and the numeric keys do work, the rest does not.
I am using a Microsoft Natural Keyboard. I do have the latest DirectX too (don't know if that is related). Xterm does not show characters typed other than numeric chars. xev reports what I mentioned on the previous paragraph. RXVT does not accept input either UNLESS I unset DISPLAY (last version I had did not have this requirement). I have tried to solve this problem by getting a sample XF86Config file and putting in the setting Option "XkbModel" "microsoft" to no avail. Any hints on what might be happening would be greatly welcomed. I totally depend on Cygwin (I use rxvt all the time), so I would greatly appreciate hints on what to do. Best Regards, JUAN M.

Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Which programs have you tried? Please also run xev for testing and press some keys in the "Event Test" window. Are there some ButtonPress events reported? Yes! Mouseevents are all reported correctly. Additionally I see events from Shift/Ctrl/Alt and, most surprising, the numeric keypad is working as well. Still nothing from the rest of the keyboard....
