Subject: Re: xserv 4.3.0-29 Alt Gr Problem is gone
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2004 07:36:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40039FC1.9020308@juntadeandalucia.es> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0401091540120.12132@odoaker.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de>
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?
Regards, H.
