Subject: Cygwin XFree ignores the keyboard
Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2003 19:34:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031012193438.6284.qmail@web41507.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hello everyone,

I have been using Cygwin XFree86 for some time on a Winbook X1 running XP
Pro, and it was working great with several Linux machines. A couple of months
back it started to ignore the keyboard. IOW, I type and nothing happens in
any Xwindows frame which makes things rather difficult. The mouse still
works. 

First I tried doing a 'reinstall' to no effect. Then I uninstalled everything
and did a complete reinstall with the latest versions of Cygwin and Xfree86.
The reinstall seemed to go well but I saw one script error reporting a 'null'
value somewhere. At the time, there was no way to know (that I knew of) to
see exactly which package gave the error so I ignored it and went on.

This issue is not addressed in the FAQ so now I turn to you. All help will be
greatly appreciated.

Jim
