This is problem which was reported earlier on this list (25 April) by Edmund Urbani.
Here I a part of his mail: 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 (End of quoted mail) So, I have exactly the same problem. When I moved /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 from another instalation with 4.1.0 everything works fine. So I have to stay with 4.1.0 as setting keyboard layout from command line when starting X is not solution for me. Regards, Olaf
