Hi,
I've installed the latest XFREE86 (4.3.0-2) and xorg-Base (6.7.0.0) on my XP-machine.
I customized the XWin line in startxwin.bat to:
uninstall the XFree86 packages. They are superseeded by the xorg packages. -> I did uninstall the XFree86 libs...
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xkbrules xfree86 -xkbmodel logicordless -xkblayout "de,us" -xkboptions "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
When I run XWin, I do not get the german keyboard, no ��� (ue/oe/ae), what I will get is \374\366\344 instead.
This sounds like the bash umlaut problem. Check the faq on http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html
-> I do have an .inputrc file in my home dir: ----- snip ------- "\e[3~": delete-char # this is actually equivalent to "\C-?": delete-char
# VT "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line
# kvt "\e[H":beginning-of-line "\e[F":end-of-line
# rxvt and konsole (i.e. the KDE-app...) "\e[7~":beginning-of-line "\e[8~":end-of-line
set meta-flag on
set output-meta on # to show 8-bit characters
set convert-meta off # to show it as character, not the octal representation
# Mapping for German umlauts
"\M-a": "�"
"\M-A": "�"
"\M-o": "�"
"\M-O": "�"
"\M-u": "�"
"\M-U": "�"
"\M-s": "�"
# (TODO: Mapping for accents?)
----- snip -------
I still do not get the umlaut chars. The .inputrc file is UNIX style (LF)...
When shifting to the US-layout I get the correct [;' chars.
In neither layout I can use the cursor keys, they end up in 2D2C2A2B (left/right/up/down).
Is numlock activated? This may conflict with the cursor keys. -> numlock was on, the cursor keys now work !
