I can get everything working up to the point I start emacs.
The output from 'setxkbmap -print' is:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat{ include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+us+inet(pc105)+altwin(alt_super_win)+capslock(hyper)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
and if I run XEV, and press capslock I get:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc1,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8145997, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x0, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc1,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8146122, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x40, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffed, Hyper_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
and if I press Left Windows key I get:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc1,
root 0x131, subw 0x0, time 8148993, (504,324), root:(2162,400),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0xc1,

state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
All perfect so far.
So, when I start up emacs, and press C-h k, then, for example, Capslock-d,
(hyper-d) I get 'H-d is undefined'. Yeah.
Then I press C-h k, then Left-Win-d, (super-d), I get 'H-d is undefined', and
not 's-d is undefined', which is what I expected to see.
Any ideas how I might resolve this?

cygwin and xwin and super and hyper
I can get my capslock key to be super with the command line 'setxkbmap -option caps:super', but I can't get 'setxkbmap -option altwin:hyper_win' to do anything. Running 'setxkbmap -print' shows both options as being set, but the win keys still act as the win key. Is there something else I need to do so windows lets go of these keys?

Take a look at startxwin.bat again. There is a spot at the bottom where twm would be started if it were not commented out. Also, you might need to use the -rootless or -fullscreen option to XWin, instead of simply removing the -multiwindow option. There are some docs embedded in startxwin, but not much. I'll try it some this weekend if I get a chance, and let you know how it goes. I always have been running mine using the default startxwin, so it comes up in multiwindow mode, using windows itself as the window manager, which works okay for me. But in the past, I did use twm, so everything was embedded in one window that I could open and close, to have all my Xsessions together. Let me get back to you after I beat on it some, maybe I'll find out how to get it working again!

Oh well, I have to go to Oregon tomorrow morning for a week, so I'll look into this when I get back. Thanks again, Dave

When I try the command line "lpr -P //quantex2/HPLaserJ /etc/passwd" I get the error printer name is invalid. When I go back to what my profile set up, which is "HP LaserJet 6P", I actually get output. I was thinking all along that I couldn't use that name, but perhaps cygwin's lpr has been patched to use the windows resource name? I also noticed that nothing came out of the printer until I sent another file... And, are you setup for DOS endings or Unix? So, I can print from the command line. But, after closing my terms and opening some new ones (just to be sure I have the correct environment), and verifying that $PRINTER is still "HP LaserJet 6P", I get nothing from 'Print window', and I don't see any errors. I wonder if there is a log somewhere that I can peruse. Anyway, thanks for the help. I guess I won't worry about it for now. I can always do an Alt-PrtScn and paste it somewhere to print it. Dave
xterm and right click and 'print window'
Has anyone found a way to make this feature work, on any version of windows, with any printer? I've had no luck so far, and am grasping for clues. I've defined my $PRINTER as //quantex2/hplaserj, which prints okay from windows, but not cygwin. Dave in Largo, FL
Re: X file manager for Cygwin?
I just got gentoo to compile and run fine on Cygwin. I had to install all the gtk stuff first, but it works like a champ. Give it a try. I don't remember where I got the source for gentoo, I believe it was on sourceforge.
