Not sure it will convince anybody, just my point of view.
I'm using Cygwin/XFree to connect to some HP-UX and AIX boxes, and I
can't use xkb because of this CDE/AltGr/whatever problem. (If I use xkb,
I don't have access to |, @, etc...)
So I launch X via "X -kb" and then load my own .xmodmap.
This was working perfectly, but without Win32 autorepeat nor xkb
autorepeat, I have no autorepeat at all :-(
My suggestion: is it possible to enable Win32 autorepeat only if X
is launched with the -kb switch ?
Thanks for the very good job you all do,
Gael.
