Found the solution somewhere in the email list (took me a while to perform the proper query).
Check this out: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00145.html
As described there, the X server global variables XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB,
XKEYSYMDB and XNLSPATH were set by some other program
to point to
/usr/X11R5. The latest Xfree included with Cygwin
seems to be checking on
this and so it does not work (Cygwin location for
these is /usr/X11R6, not
R5). In the message Pavel mentions Microsoft Services
for Unix, which I have
installed too. I am almost sure this is the one that
created those system
variables.
As I do not use X from SFU (I only need the nfs capability so my local Windows drives can be accessed from Linux without Samba), I really do not care about breaking up X there and so I just got rid of those variables.
I hope this is also the solution you were looking for,
Best Regards,
JUAN

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....
