Kirk,
There is no need to Cc: either me or Harold - we both read the
cygwin-xfree list, AFAIK.
As for your problem, this doesn't look right -- you used to get gdm
messages, and now you don't. A silly question: did you restart gdm after
your Java echo test before attempting to connect?

Hi Henrik,
I had the same problem on systems running Linux & HP-Ux with a CDE/Xcdmp
session. It seems to me the 3rd key in the keyboard layout isn't mapped.
Check xmodmap -pk in a X-Window to see what's mapped on your keyboard.

If I run it thru ssh -X, it works fine.
Does 0.0.0.0 means that the X-server listens on localhost only?
If so, how can I make it liste

Sorry to say, but I've given up on resolving the problems I'm having with
getting my keyboard under Cygwin/XF86 to work correctly with my Solaris box.
I simply don't have the time to dig down into the intricacies of how
keyboard maps, keysyms, etc. relate, and I seem unable to find problem

I always used to have the line:

in my ~/.Xdefaults and it worked.
With the last few versions of cygwin/xfree it started complaining

Although the xterm actually seemed to work ok, even doing the ColorMode
stuff right.
I've been using xterm with lucida console and up until the recent versions
of cygwin-xfree it worked fine. With the latest versions, however, there
were problems with the vertical spacing and overwriting and stuff.

Harold, you wanted a three-click test case:
$ xfontsel
wait for it to finish parsing all the fonts. Note that it displays the
alphabet in some default font at the bottom of the window.
Click on family and choose a TTF from the list, eg. one of the Luxis.
Note that the alphabet is no longer display
