WinXP and setxkbmap

[Arend, Thomas (SD&M)]

Hello everybody,

when changing the keyboard via

        setxkbmap de

I often (not always!) get errors like this:

  Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
  Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'
  Error loading new keyboard description

while the keyboard remains unchanged. After some repetitions of 'setxkbmap
de',
the keyboard IS changed, sometimes with, sometimes without a keyboard
loading
error.

My configuration:

  Windows XP Professional Version 2002 (5.1.2600 Build 2600)
  cygwin-1.3.13-2
  XFree86-base-4.2.0-1
  XFree86-bin-4.2.0-2


Regards,

        Thomas
