Re: xserv 4.3.0-29 Alt Gr Problem is gone
Still, what's the solution to defining your keyboard correctly *before* you start Xwin?. I guess it must be simple, but probably I oversee some configuration file or anything similar. Regards, Hans.

So this must be a bug in xmodmap. For your problem with spanish layout and CDE (which is most likely a quite old X11 installation) I'd pass you on to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Xf86Config and the es keyboard map have been modified to define AltGr as Mode_Switch. I tried various startup parameters with the XWin executable, but no success. I installed xserv 4.3.0-30 over version 4.3.0-21 using the Cygwin setup program. It's running in Windows XP. bye ago

The config file. http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-non-U.S.-keyboard-layout After I've read your mail again I noticed you're connecting to CDE. CDE uses an old version of X11 and has problems with the keysymbol for the AltGr key. Most likely CDE sets the keyboard layout with an extra modmap which does not work with the 4.3 Release. But so far no one has examined this further or reported the results. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Harold, There are no such environment variables set. startxwin.bat was used to start up the bash shell. H.

Re: xserv 4.3.0-29 Alt Gr Problem is gone
Hi all and Harold, Sorry for being persistent, but I guess I have to revisit alt-Gr key problem using a Spanish keyboard. Just tried xserv version 4.3.0-30 (I used the 4.3.0-21 before), and starting X-windows in either a xfree bash shell as well as the CDE environment xmodmap tells me that I have only 2 definitions per key (normal key usage and Shift-key combination). So the Alt-Gr definition is not defined for the keys. Xf86Config and the es keyboard map have been modified to define AltGr as Mode_Switch. I tried various startup parameters with the XWin executable, but no success. I installed xserv 4.3.0-30 over version 4.3.0-21 using the Cygwin setup program. It's running in Windows XP. I guess there must be a small thing to configure the keyboard usage in X-Window OK. But what is it? Regards, Hans. Harold L Hunt II escribió: Christoph, Thanks for the confirmation.
