Hi, In trying to get an UTF-8 environment, I ran Cygwin-X for the first time today, with an urxvt connected to the X server. As soon as I started to use it, I noticed that some of the keys (this is a spanish keyboard) produce strange results, mainly in the keyboard row that has all the numbers. Pressing all the keys in that row generates the following keysyms, instead of the expected ones: Expected, actually seen: masculine, masculine 1, h 2, comma 3, F9 4, KP_Delete 5, Delete 6, NoSymbol 7, NoSymbol 8, NoSymbol 9, NoSymbol 0, NoSymbol apostrophe, NoSymbol exclamdown, XF86Search BackSpace, XF86Stop In addition to this, the Escape get generates the keysym "w". If pressing the Shift key, the results shift as expected: ordfeminine, "H", semicolon... and so on. Running 'setxkbmap es' doesn't change this results. Running other X applications (xterm, xedit) doesn't make a difference (I guess urxvt is not to blame then). The output from 'xmodmap -pke' seems to be ok: $ xmodmap -pke |head -n 10 keycode 8 = keycode 9 = Escape NoSymbol Escape keycode 10 = 1 exclam 1 exclam bar exclamdown keycode 11 = 2 quotedbl 2 quotedbl at oneeighth keycode 12 = 3 periodcentered 3 periodcentered numbersign sterling keycode 13 = 4 dollar 4 dollar asciitilde dollar keycode 14 = 5 percent 5 percent onehalf threeeighths keycode 15 = 6 ampersand 6 ampersand notsign fiveeighths keycode 16 = 7 slash 7 slash braceleft seveneighths keycode 17 = 8 parenleft 8 parenleft bracketleft trademark The obligatory google search didn't turn up anything except a myriad of Xmodmap configurations of many people :). At this point, I'm out of ideas and would gladly accept any input or pointer about what could be the problem. Following the reporting guidelines, I send the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r' and the XWin.0.log as a couple of attachments. Just in case it matters, this Windows XP runs inside a VMWare virtual machine in an Acer laptop. Thanks in advance, -- David Serrano
