It seems to me the 3rd key in the keyboard layout isn't mapped. Check xmodmap -pk in a X-Window to see what's mapped on your keyboard. You can use the following command to map a vertical bar to the AltGr 1, for example. xmodmap -e "Keycode 113 = Mode_switch" xmodmap -e "KeySym 1 = 1 exclam bar" Check the settings in these configuration files in your Cygwin directory: /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/ Also look at the mails of Alexander Gottwald in the mail group. It is a temporal solution though, because I think XFree86 should send the right keyboard map to the X server in use. Apart from foreign language keyboard mapping XFree86 seems to me a stable and well working product. I have no profound knowledge of X to know how to resolve this otherwise. You'll probably find some other commands to map a keyboard. Also the lack of time to dig into the code and start debugging plays parts. Regards, Hans.
