Re: Problem with WinXP, XF86, Caps lock, xterm and cursor keys

I've disabled my capslock key and turned it into a control key with this registry hack: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] Scancode Map=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1d,00,3a,00,00,00,00,00 My caps lock key correctly works as a control key in all windows applications, and xev shows it acts just like Control_L. In xterm, I can use the caps lock key as a control key. Except, each time I press it, my arrow keys toggle between sending the correct ^[[A and the strange ^[[1;2A (for up; left, down and right have similar changes). Apparently, it's toggling the cursor keys into shifted state, because that's the shifted up arrow key. This only affects the arrow keys, and page up/page down (which are toggled into scrolling). It seems like there's a bug somewhere tracking the caps lock, since I seem to have correctly disabled caps lock for number keys, but not arrows. Cygwin/XFree uses raw scancodes and uses XKB for symbol translation. Your tweaking will most likely break this conversion. I declare such a modification as unsupported. You may still ask for pointers to documentation but I (and most likely the other regulars too) am not willing to debug such strange modifications. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Compiling SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) or using v.4.2 binaries
Did anybody recompiled successfully SNNS 4.2 with Cygwin/X? Its home page is at http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/SNNS/ I firstly tried using SNNS 4.2 binaries with latest Cygwin/X as X-server, but something wasn't working in the user interface (couldn't select some menu list entries), so I decided to get sources at http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/downloads/SNNS/SNNSv4.2.tar.gz and try recompile them. Beside a few #define missing (that I properly fixed) seemed that the configure script was running fine, infact I can run the application, and now all the menu lists do work, but... when loading even an example configuration file I get syntax errors in file, and after some clicks, trying opening other windows, crashes. Note that I already used successfully on Linux some years ago, so not new to program usage. And yes, I know that JavaNNS does exist... Any help or hint would be greatly appreciated.

Are you running Cygwin with binary mode mounts or did you change the default to text? Send in the output of the mount command run in a Cygwin bash shell. I would suspect that SNNS expects UNIX-style end-of-line characters and would thus be confused by DOS-style end-of-line characters. Poor coding could lead to a crash as well. Harold

Re: Alt key isn't Meta in Cygwin xterm (Norwegian keyboard)
Hans Dekker [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Change to es file:
key RALT { type[Group1]=TWO_LEVEL,
[ Mode_switch, Multi_key ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { RALT };
The no file looks like this:
key RALT { type[Group1]=TWO_LEVEL,
[ ISO_Level3_Shift, Multi_key ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { RALT };
But I'm not sure how this applies to the left Alt not being taken as
meta in xterm?
I'd guess it had something to do with keycaps rather than X keysym
mappings, since Alt works fine as Meta in Emacs...?

Re: Compiling SNNS (Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator) or usingv.4.2 binaries
Answering to Harold: my system is mounted in binary mode. Anyway that doesn't seem to be the cause for that crash: looks like that the first operation done in floating point (so I suspect) brings the application in an unstable state -- after reading the file that causes the syntax error I can still do other tasks in the user interface, for a while. I'm sorry to be so approximative about this issue: the program itself is quite large, to investigate. What I hoped was to find someone who did it already, to steal his/her experience on this... while maybe I will have to manage it myself, unless not switching to the Java version of SNNS. Thanks again for reading and helping. Lou

Re: Problem with WinXP, XF86, Caps lock, xterm and cursor keys
Alexander Gottwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Cygwin/XFree uses raw scancodes and uses XKB for symbol translation. Your tweaking will most likely break this conversion. I could understand that, if it were consistent. If Cygwin/XFree considered that key to still be caps lock, I could easily fix it with xmodmap. But it doesn't, xev sees it as control. Furthermore, why is it shifting arrow keys and page up/down but not anything else? Finally, why is caps lock affecting those keys at all? I haven't seen that on XFree86 on Linux, nor on any other X server I've tried. Personally, I suspect that some piece of code is handling things differently than the rest, so even the usual methods of fixing things (ie, xresources, xmodmap) may not fix things. (But I'll be giving it a try, since it's easy.) I declare such a modification as unsupported. You may still ask for pointers to documentation I'll take you up on that offer. Could you point me to some info on how Cygwin/XFree86 gets those scancodes and runs the conversion? Maybe I could put together a variant XKB layout without caps lock -- Alan Shutko [EMAIL PROTECTED] - I am the rocks. St. Vidicon of Cathode, pray for us!

in xemacs or emacs the highlight disappeared, problems related to clipboard
Dear All, I use cygwin/Xserver on my win2000 as multiwindow mode. It is a great work. I have two problems. 1. )It is good to copy between windows and X programs, so I start the Xserver with the parameter '-clipborad'. When press the left button of mouse to highlight a region and release the button the highlight disappeared automatically. And in the xemacs(emacs)mini window shows a message mark set. The normal response should keep the highligh. Start the Xserver without the parameter '-clipboard', xemacs works normally. 2.)I have a dictionary program to pick up the words in the sreen. After I start local emacs in the cygwin shell , the program can't pick up any word.. I thought it was the clipboard 's bug, wasn't it? Thank you very much, Hong
