I just installed KDE-cygwin, and I haven't gotten it start properly. Based on the errors I'm getting and the FAQs I've read, the suggestion was to make sure the paths are mounted in binmode, which involves changing a registry key. Since I'd prefer not to do that, will this patch work for me as well?

I am running Cygwin 1.3.13-2, XFree86 4.2.0-2, and KDE 2.2.2-b1 on Win 98.

I realize I am not being very specific about the problem, I am not looking for a personalized solution (yet!) I just want to know if this solution might apply to KDE as well.

Any other advice is appreciated as well.

Thanks,

xkbcomp was not aware of binary or text files. I've changed it and xkbcomp
now produces files with same length for binary and text mounts. Attached is
a patch for this. It also patches the Xserver to open the files in binmode.

A test binary is available:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/xkbcomp.exe.bz2
replace the one in /usr/X11R6/bin und /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb or
/etc/X11/xkb

If it still fails, please test the patched XWin.exe too
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/XWin-binmode.exe.bz2
