Gave up trying to do this the official way. Remapped the offending keys using xmodmap and now I am happy. I still have no idea why it didn't work correctly out of the box, though.

These are the mount settings: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) The FAQ talks about /tmp mounted in text mode, which the above would suggest is not the case. I am getting used to typing shift-@ for double quotes, but it is perhaps not optimal The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).

I checked the FAQ, but it was not exactly enlightening. xkbcomp -w 3 -xkm ... as given in the FAQ works with no errors, but any setxkbmap command fails with "Error loading new keymap description" Is this a search path thing? /etc/X11/xkb or its subdirs are not on the path. Do they have to be, or is the location assumed?

RE: Newbie: GB layout, M$ Natural keyboard does not work
Aha, That was a useful hint. Anyhow the interesting bits of Xwin.log are these: (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "1809" (1809) (--) Using preset keyboard for "Irish" (1809), type "4" (++) XKB: model: "microsoft" (++) XKB: layout: "gb" Rules = "xorg" Model = "microsoft" Layout = "gb" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap S, where should the XKB keymap be, and how do I fix it up?

Newbie: GB layout, M$ Natural keyboard does not work
Hi, I have a Cygwin installation on XP and have recently installed the latest X11 software for it. Working fine, except for one minor irritation. I have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, UK layout. X seems to ignore (for all practical purposes) the options -xkbmodel "microsoft" -xkblayout "gb" which I specify on the Xwin.exe command line. In X, if I use setxkbmap -print, it correctly displays that it's an MS keyboard with UK layout, however several keys are always incorrect, like Shift-2 which is @ instead of ", Shift-3 which is # instead of £, and the usual suspects of \/|<> which are also incorrectly mapped. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Liam The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).
