Is there a way to run XFree with the numlock key on without stopping the keys from working? I followed the instructions from Harold's post at: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-06/msg00307.html but that solution didn't seem to work for me. Thanks, JS.

Actually, the instructions were mine, not Harold's (they were in response to a note from Harold). Try this... Start X without the NumLock modification. In an xterm, run xmodmap -pm. You should see something that resembles the following: xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in
