Subject: Re: Cygwin-Xfree 6.8.2.0-1 - Keyboard problem with Matlab 6.X

Hi all,
I actually use Cygwin/X to display software from remote Unix servers.
It really works fine except with matlab 6 :
When I launch matlab, the main window appears on my local display but
the keyboard seems inactive.
(I cannot type anything inside the matlab's command window)
Moreover, a left click is a "paste" (?), middle is also "paste" while
the right click opens correctly the context menu.
Maybe a problem with modifier keys. Try disabling numlock.
bye

Quite simple and it works .. thanks !
and if anyone knows how I could get a working numpad that would be great !
