Links ===== Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-20031224-1624.tar.bz2 (128 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against 4.3.0-28 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/xwin-4.3.0-28-to-4.3.0-29.diff (14 KiB) Changes ======= 1) winkeybd.c/winIsFakeCtrl_L - Call Sleep (0) if the first call to PeekMessage returns nothing. TweakUI occasionally causes the Alt_R press/release to not be in the message queue at the time that we receive the fake Ctrl_L press/release. Calling Sleep (0) gives up the rest of our time slice to other apps that need it, which causes the Alt_R message to show up on our queue. We can then call PeekMessage again and check if the Alt_R is there or not. If it is not there, then we assume that we have a real Ctrl_L press, if it is there, then we discard the fake Ctrl_L as usual. I tested this with the US-International layout and it seemed to work fine. I originally coded this fix with a short "keytest" program and was able to confirm that the fix works there as well. (Harold L Hunt II) 2) win.h, winkeybd.c, winkeybd.h, winwndproc.c - Remove dead code that was wrapped with #if WIN_NEW_KEYBOARD_SUPPORT. (Harold L Hunt II) -- Harold Hunt To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Once you've downloaded setup.exe, run it and select "XFree86" and then click on the appropriate field until the above announced version number appears if it is not displayed already. If your mirror doesn't yet have the latest version of this package after 24 hours, you can either continue to wait for that site to be updated or you can try to find another mirror.
