problem about keyboard
Dear Sir, I downloaded and installed cygwin on this Thuesday, but I found that I can not type anything in X-server console. I read the QA, and it said this problem is caused by old version of startxwin.bat But since this is my first time to install cygwin, there is no startxwin.bat in my cygwin directory. I've also checked if there is anything setting XKEYSYMDB, but it replied nothing. Could you give me any suggest to fix that problem? (My OS is windows vista) Thanks.

I posted the solution to this problem last month, but I don't see my message in the archives, so here it is again: On 3/14/2010 12:20 PM, Bob Kline wrote: I can live with working around the second problem (that launching X using the shortcut doesn't work at all) by invoking startxwin.exe directly. I'm much more eager to solve the original problem (X no longer recognizes input from the keyboard). Well, I have resolved both problems with one stroke. I dug out a copy of the old startxwin.bat script from a backup archive, doctored it up a little (mostly to make sure old environment variables are cleared out) and I'm using the script to launch X instead of the compiled binary, of which I was suspicious from the start. I mean, making a process opaque so users won't have to understand how it works is such a Microsoft way of doing things. At any rate, X no longer blows up with the vague error message, and apps running under X now see the keyboard events. Thanks to those who responded with suggestions. Just in case someone else stumbles onto this problem, I've attached a copy of the script I'm using. @echo off c: set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 set CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin set RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/X11R6/bin set PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin set XAPPLRESDIR= set XCMSDB= set XKEYSYMDB= set XNLSPATH= if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 :CLEANUP-FINISH if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -- Bob Kline http://www.rksystems.com mailto:bkl...@rksystems.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

MAIN QUESTION: Last choice is modifying cygwin itself keymap to layout FI. So how i change that on cygwin CONSOLE? sorry but i did not asken anything about X. i only writted like faq says (to write all to give much information as possible) You're asking me to accept your premise that xmodmap doesn't help. Sorry, but I don't believe you. AFAICT, you have an X-based problem here. Use the cygwin-xfree mailing list for help. As far as Cygwin is concerned, there is no mapping performed by cygwin. It uses whatever Windows offers. The code in fhandler_console.cc controls how some keystrokes are handled but I doubt that is what you want. You want to use X mechanisms to solve your problem.
