Defining keys with xmodmap by hand works and xmodmap -pk gives you than the output with the third definition (= AltGr definition) of a key.
What should I do with the cygwin X-window system to get it running well?

Sorry for being persistent, but I guess I have to revisit alt-Gr key problem using a Spanish keyboard.
Just tried xserv version 4.3.0-30 (I used the 4.3.0-21 before), and starting X-windows in either a xfree bash shell as well as the CDE environment xmodmap tells me that I have only 2 definitions per key (normal key usage and Shift-key combination). So the Alt-Gr definition is not defined for the keys.
I've just tried
$ setxkbmap es
Pressing AltGr + '1' results in '|'
but xmodmap -pke does not print the extra symbols. So this must be a bug in xmodmap.
For your problem with spanish layout and CDE (which is most likely a quite old X11 installation) I'd pass you on to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Xf86Config and the es keyboard map have been modified to define AltGr as Mode_Switch. I tried various startup parameters with the XWin executable, but no success. I installed xserv 4.3.0-30 over version 4.3.0-21 using the Cygwin setup program. It's running in Windows XP.
