UK keyboard layout problem
Hi since updating the XFree version to the latest version (via cygwin setup), I always have the US keyboard layout. Note that I had the appropriate UK layout before without having to do anything at all (I did skip a few updates so unfortunately can't tell you from when this happened). So, I tried to read the FAQ and did the following: I modified startxwin.bat to do: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -emulate3buttons -xkblayout uk but that didn't help. Then I tried the testing procedure given on the web page: setxkbmap de -model pc105 but I get the following: Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property Use defaults: rules - 'xorg' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us' Couldn't find rules file (xorg) Potentially related is that I don't seem to have /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb, but only /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.old-1 What can I do? (running NT 4.0 sp6a and the latest cygwin according to what setup says) Thanks!

RE: UK keyboard layout problem
Thanks Alexander try removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.old-1 and recreate the link ln -sf /etc/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb ok. that maybe happened because of an aborted installation or so. I did that, restarted the X server, and now it recognises my keyboard without having to explicitly specify a layout. Great! thanks a lot. Kris PS: Note that I still cannot do setxkbmap uk as I get: Error loading new keyboard description I tried to reinstall all of the xorg packages I had installed, but the behaviour remains the same. I then checked /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst, and it indeed doesn't have a uk layout, but it does have a gb one! So, I really should have been using gb, which works fine.
