Dear people, let me propose a pragmatic way to solve the Alt-Gr problem when using non-US keyboards in an ssh session to some linux server under Xfree86 running Windows XP:
(tested for German keyboard layout) : uninstall PowerToys from Windows XP get xmodmap (e.g. from http://home.imf.au.dk/hellmund/xmodmap/) rename to .xmodmap and put into cygwin-home directory start cygwin-shell type startx (German Umlauts do not work here) xhost + servername shh -l username servername (german Umlauts work here, so do Alt-Gr) if BackSpace does not work in new xterm : put the following line into the .profile on the server home directory: xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace' At least it works for me. Thank you for this fantastic software. Regards, Christian ______________________________________________________________________________ Werden Sie kreativ!
