RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree

["Harris, Shane" <sharris at newedgenetworks dot com>]

Thank you. I have made sure NumLock And CapsLock are OFF. I have attached
the output of xev when I strike the keys 0-9, backspace, -, = and tab. I
included some of the standard letter keys which do, in fact, work.  Also
attached is /tmp/Xwin.log.

One thing I did try in all of this was ensuring I had a valid 104 key us pc
.Xmodmap in ~.
that produced exactly the same results I am seeing now.

Thanks.

Make sure NumLock and CapsLock are both OFF.  That can sometimes cause 
problem with certain X clients.

If that's not the culprit, try running xev and see if X is even getting the 
keypress events.  If xev spews a bunch of messages when pressing one of the 
keys in questions, cut-and-paste them to the list and we'll have a look-see.

One other thing, post the contents of /tmp/XWin.log.
