I doubt this is the problem since this is a pure win32 application.
Not even linked to libX11.

I think I accidently linked it with -mwindows.

In bash, you needed to say

"DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 msgtest"

In an xterm, the DISPLAY is already set.

The log from keyboard.out shows the keypress

WindowProc: HWND 0075 0041 WM_KEYDOWN
WindowProc: HWND 0075 c041 WM_KEYUP

The menu.out log has no indication that anything happend. Unless I get
more information on the type of display and how the on screen keys work
I can not provide a solution.

I only tested it with xterm, so I did notice this before.

Attached two files:



keyboard.out contains the messages, when entering F6 via the attached 
keyboard.
menu.out contains the messages generated by clicking the button 
labeled F6 in the panel.

NB. I had a problem in using msgtest.exe from a bash prompt. 
The X server was active, but no window appeared and msgtest.exe
didn't spew any messages. I had to start a xterm from the bash
prompt and then start msgtest.exe.

For windows there are basicly two input devices. Keyboards and mice. 
Keyboards will generate keypress and release events (WM_KEYDOWN). 
Mice produce button press and relese events (WM_[LMRX]BUTTONDOWN) 
for the left, middle, right and extra buttons. 

The WM_KEYUP has two kind of key information attached. The raw keyboard
scancodes and the codes after applying the keyboard layout. Cygwin/X 
only uses the raw scancodes. If they don't match the real key it is very 
likely the key is not recognized.

I've placed a small program on http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/msgtest.exe
which will dump the messages to the console. Please run it and report 
what it prints when pressing the onscreen keys and what it reports 
when pressing the physical key.

This is just the release. There was no keypress event. Either some flags
are wrong or the scancode was not right.

Problem is there is no real mouse, only the pen/stylus acting

Cygwin/X will use a 3button mouse by default and ask windows how many additional
buttons the mouse supports. I'm have no idea how these special function keys 
are 
supposed to work, but functions keys which depend on a mouse setting are broken
in my opinion. 

You may check with xev if the keys are somehow recognized in Cygwin/X 
nevertheless.

downgrade a 5-button- to a 3-button-mouse

[Hermann-Josef Beckers]

We are running a propietary application on a tablet pc  (windows XP 
Tablet-PC-Edition).. Most
everything works, but there is a small glitch: For handling reasons some 
(function-)keys
are combined into a small panel. Clicking the keys with the pen has no 
effect. Entering these
keys with the virtual keyboard or a real attached keyboard works.

>From the support-line:
"This application DGK5 supports the configuration of a 3-button-mouse 
only. In Cygwin is a
5-button-mouse configured. You have to configure the Cygwin-X-server in 
such a way,
that a 3-button-mouse is recognized."

HOW? 
A Xfree-conf-file isn't used in Cygwin (AFAIK). "-emulate3buttons" has no 
effect, as it works 
the other way up (3 buttons on a 2-button-mouse). 

Any hints?
