Hello, I'm running into problems using XWin X Server (tried current stable and latest 6.8.99.901-4) with AIX 5.3 clients.
The clients start alright (having ssh'd or telnet'd the AIX machine, set the DISPLAY, starting xterm or other client), but then the keyboard input for that client will be garbled: it seems to be a permanent "Alt-Gr" mode, i.e. I am getting "@", "|" and "³" characters just fine (without pressing Alt-Gr, german keyboard), but that's all I get. This has been observed before: http://de.nntp2http.com/alt/comp/cygwin+co/2005/10/e87edd53b78b8fff1df997a26 295d43b.html (german posting). At the same time an Exceed(8.0) server (on :1.0) does have no problems with the AIX 5.3 clients. All other clients that I am connecting to (AIX 5.1, Solaris 8, RHEL 3) are working just fine. A local (cygwin-) xterm with an ssh-session to AIX 5.3 works fine. X startup I'm using: xwin -clipboard & Then a local xterm, then local wmaker.... XWin.log: _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000407" (00000407) (--) Using preset keyboard for "German (Germany)" (407), type "81" (--) 5 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!

Bailing. ... Any ideas anyone? Could it be that the more complete 64-Bit-ness of AIX 5.3 is posing a problem here? Thanks in advance for any advice, Cheers, Mark. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained herein is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
