Hi!
Yesterday i installed cygwin with XFree 4.2.0. Everything worked fine from the start except that I could not set it up for my german keyboard layout. All I get, when I try to use eg. setxkbmap is a popup window (outside the X server as a normal Win2000-window) with this error message: Failed assertion fds_on_hold !=NULL at line 643 of file /cygnus/netrel/src/cygwin-1.3.10-1/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc Other tools using XKB (like Kde Control Center) cause the same error. I found an earlier post from Charles L. Werner on this list, who appears to have (had?) the same problem, but there does not seem to be a helpful reply to that one. As a workaround I am currently using xmodmap in the X server's startup scripts, but I would really prefer to use XKB instead. So, any ideas what might be wrong with my X server? What is this fds_on_hold variable and that dtable.cc file all about, anyway? Edmund
