Found the solution somewhere in the email list (took me a while to perform the proper query). Check this out: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00145.html As described there, the X server global variables XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB, XKEYSYMDB and XNLSPATH were set by some other program to point to /usr/X11R5. The latest Xfree included with Cygwin seems to be checking on this and so it does not work (Cygwin location for these is /usr/X11R6, not R5). In the message Pavel mentions Microsoft Services for Unix, which I have installed too. I am almost sure this is the one that created those system variables. As I do not use X from SFU (I only need the nfs capability so my local Windows drives can be accessed from Linux without Samba), I really do not care about breaking up X there and so I just got rid of those variables. I hope this is also the solution you were looking for, Best Regards, JUAN This is the mail archive of the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list for the Cygwin XFree86 project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Index Nav: [Date Index] [Subject Index] [Author Index] [Thread Index] Message Nav: [Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] Other format: [Raw text] Re: keyboard not working a..

Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Which programs have you tried? Please also run xev for testing and press some keys in the "Event Test" window. Are there some ButtonPress events reported? Yes! Mouseevents are all reported correctly. Additionally I see events from Shift/Ctrl/Alt and, most surprising, the numeric keypad is working as well. Still nothing from the rest of the keyboard....
