From your log I see it stops when it generates the keyboard layout. You may disable this by adding the option "-kb" to the commandline to start XWin but you will get the US layout as default. But I don't know what causes xkbcomp to hang for some users and until I can reproduce this I have no change to debug what is happening. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

It seems it can not setup that socket correctly which lead me to the assumption you have ZoneAlarm. ZoneAlarm is known to change the behaviour of Windows TCP/IP stack and this seems to cause troubles with cygwin since cygwin must provide unix like semantics and has problems if something does not work it was expected. So it is not a problem with insufficient rights to access the network (in fact xkbcomp does not need any network access) but a problem with different/unexpected behaviour of windows subsystems.

It is te problem. Normally xkbcomp expects input on stdin. It seems that ZoneAlarm somehow breaks pipes (eg ls | wc) in some circumstances. I think it's the same with cat.exe.

But I tried shutting down Zonealarm--> X still hangs. Do you think it ss really a ZoneAlarm problem? ZoneAlarm replaces the TCP stack with it's own. You cannot fully shut it down until after uninstalling it and rebooting. The most recent version of ZA broke every POP/SMTP mailer on my system. Shutting it down, removing it from start up and rebooting did nothing to change that. Uninstalling it magically fixed everything, and several other problems I hadn't attributed to ZoneAlarm as well.
