Platform, client: Win2k, CygWin 1.3.2, cygwin-xfree86 4.1.0
Platform, server: debian 2.2r3 (potato), kdm 2.1.1
Starting cygwin XFree86 agains KDM works fine now,
except that it comes up with a US keyboard setting
instead of a Norwegian one.
I've found a Norwegian xmodmap at
<http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/X11/i18n/>
it's pretty old (July 1992), but I thought I'd try
it anyway.
So far I have tried (most of these after earlier
advices given on this list):
- setting Xmodmap.no from the above URL, as
~/.Xmodmap, and logging in from KDM
- putting Xmodmap.no into /usr/X11, and
changing the setting
sysmodmap=/usr/X11/Xmodmap
to
sysmodmap=/usr/X11/Xmodmap.no
in /etc/X11/kdm/Xsetup
(I saw that this made a different Xmodmap be
used, because of different output into
~/.xsession-errors)
- setting a Norwegian keyboard as the default
in the KDE Control Panel
- running "xmodmap Xmodmap.no" in KDE
- running "xmodmap Xmodmap.no" in WindowMaker
- running xkeycaps in a WindowMaker session,
saving a Norwegian keyboard into a file,
and running "xmodmap" on this file
So far without any success. The keyboard mapping
stays US. :-/
