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. 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. I guess there must be a small thing to configure the keyboard usage in X-Window OK. But what is it? Regards, Hans. Harold L Hunt II escribió: > Christoph, > > Thanks for the confirmation.
