Thank for your answer, I will try to contact Andreas. In very few case, I get the pipe symbol or other and I think this is a key timing problem like reported by Andreas, but perhaps this trouble is due to some keyboard or system. I will try at my office on another XP machine... I use cygwin at home and at work, it's very important for me and I'll keep you informed trying to do a usefull report...
XF86 documentation:
I found some informations on XF86Config and xmodmap for non US keyboard on the following link:
http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/?jump=xfree
Perhaps you could ask the author to add this link in Xfree86 faq as a first help for non US keyboard users.

Alain,
The problem with Andreas Schessner's patch was that it modified functions that were not being compiled in the default build. I asked him where the missing parts of the patch were, but he never responded. I don't know if he just gave up or if he realized that his patch maybe didn't have the effect that he thought it did. In any case, we no longer have a valid report of that problem... if you can contact Andreas Schessner and ask him for the rest of his patch, then perhaps we can get somewhere. Until then, I can only assume that he made some sort of mistake and decided to keep quiet about it :) Seriously, what else can I think when someone stops helping to get their patch committed?
Harold
