Re: xserv 4.3.0-29 Alt Gr Problem is gone


Harold,

There are no such environment variables set.

startxwin.bat was used to start up the bash shell.

Hans,

From a Cygwin bash shell, run 'set' and report the values of any of the following:

XAPPLRESDIR
XCMSDB
XKEYSYMDB
XNLSPATH

Sorry, setxkbmap doesn't work, not even in the xterm that is started by cygwin itself using startxwin.bat.

Defining keys with xmodmap by hand works and xmodmap -pk gives you than the output with the third definition (= AltGr definition) of a key.

What should I do with the cygwin X-window system to get it running well?

Sorry for being persistent, but I guess I have to revisit alt-Gr key problem using a Spanish keyboard.

Just tried xserv version 4.3.0-30 (I used the 4.3.0-21 before), and starting X-windows in either a xfree bash shell as well as the CDE environment xmodmap tells me that I have only 2 definitions per key (normal key usage and Shift-key combination). So the Alt-Gr definition is not defined for the keys.




I've just tried

$ setxkbmap es

Pressing AltGr + '1' results in '|'

but xmodmap -pke does not print the extra symbols. So this must be a bug in xmodmap.
For your problem with spanish layout and CDE (which is most likely a quite old X11 installation) I'd pass you on to xfree86@xfree86.org.



Xf86Config and the es keyboard map have been modified to define AltGr as Mode_Switch. I tried various startup parameters with the XWin executable, but no success. I installed xserv 4.3.0-30 over version 4.3.0-21 using the Cygwin setup program. It's running in Windows XP.
