I am using cygwin/X and Putty to connect to various UNIX servers and am having a problem with keyboard input in certain X apps. I connect to an AIX server with Putty using ssh and I have cygwin's X server running in multiwindow mode. When I set my display and execute a command to start an XWindow on the AIX machine the window loads perfectly and the mouse works. However, when I try to enter text from the keyboard, nothing happens. The application I am trying to use is Legato backup software, specifically the nwadmin GUI interface. Is there some setting I am missing? I don't understand why it would take mouse input, but not keyboard.
BTW - Thank you for a great product! I use cygwin/X on both my computers at work and to access my Linux box from my Windows box via XDMCP at home. I can't say enough good things about how well this works. One of my computers at work has Hummingbird's Exceed on it, but I still use cygwin/X because I think it works better.
