Ah, indeed - that did the trick. I picked up XFree86-lib-compat and now it 
works like a charm (with the slightly hacked 00xorg file in /etc/profile.d).

Thanks a bunch. Boy, I'm glad that it wasn't *just* my stupidity that was at 
fault here... ;)

RE: Locked CTRL key in Matlab using

It works with numlock disabled :-) Is there a way to "unmap" NumLock as a
modifier key?

The command for manipulating the cygwin mount table is called "mount".

You should use this to manipulate the mont table rather than
manipulating the registry directly.

This is a recording.

Solved!
A registry key from an old install was pointing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts 
at a disk which no longer there.

Weird that this dir has its own registry key though. I changed the
key so that it points into the rest of the cygwin install.
Perhaps I can remove the key but for now that works

In the absense of the attached output of "cygcheck -svr" (as requested in
the Cygwin problem report page at ), a
WAG: is your /tmp textmode-mounted (see the output of "mount")?  If so,
issue the following command:

mount -fsb "`cygpath -m /tmp`" /tmp

and try "startx" again.

What does xev report when you press the keys? 

Just a wild guess: Try disabling NumLock. Some programs think NumLock is a normal
modifier key like Ctrl or Alt.

Locked CTRL key in Matlab using

[David Alberg Holm]

Hi there

After updating to the latest Cygwin (1.5.11)/Xfree (6.7.0.0-8) I am having
problems using matlab. Inside matlab the keys act as if CTRL was pressed all
the time. Outside matlab (shells, mozilla and so forth) the keys work as
expected. 

My keyboard is danish and I have tried using both the danish as well as
german keyboard layouts and the problem is the same. If I run Xwin with the
-kb switch I can use the keyboard in matlab but then the keyboard is in US
layout.

In an older version of cygwin (1.5.5) and Xfree (4.3.0-1) everything worked
but I had problems with frequent crashes.

I have tried searching the forums as well as google but could not find a
solution to my problem.

Please help!

Thanks!

David
