They Seem To Be Filtered Out By XWin Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:26:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <A668FC9039D2A44B89F0E2998C3319F9741830D1@G9W0747.americas.hpqcorp.net> (raw) Hello, I downloaded a new copy of Cygwin in the last 5 days (effectively started from scratch) and am trying to use XWin on a Windows 7 virtual machine running an old proprietary X program (it's called x6530 which is a terminal emulator for a proprietary terminal built originally by Tandem Computers and now owned by Hewlett Packard.) I start up the server and window manager using the following command: /usr/bin/setsid \ /usr/bin/XWin \ -mwextwm \ -multimonitors \ -internalwm \ -nowinkill \ & I'm trying to use multi-key sequences like Control_L-Alt_L-F6, Shift_L-Control_L-F6, etc. I do see that xev recognizes these sequences but the Control_L and Alt_L keys seem to be filtered out when I run x6530. All it seems to get is F6 or Shift_L-F6. I've tried different window managers, run /usr/bin/XWin directly, used the right-hand modification keys like Control_R, etc. and no matter what I try, I see the same filtering behavior in x6530. I have recently used exceed (formally owned by Hummingbird) with x6530 and the Control_L and Alt_L keys are passed to x6530 as expected so my suspicion is that XWin is responsible for the unwanted behavior of filtering out the keys like Control_L and Alt_L keys. Is this the case? Is there a way to get these sequences "unfiltered". If there is additional information I can provide, please let me know. Thanks for any information you can provide. -David Cutler -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
