Hi, I cannot execute commands using the Alt key. For example, whenever I press, Alt -. I get a zero instead of the previous command. This is also a problem whenever I run emacs inside xterm. Alt-w produces a ÷ (division symbol) instead of executing a copy region command. Also Alt-x doesn't give the extended command mini-buffer, but instead produces a ø (strike through o).
I do not expreience this problem whenever I run the Cygwin Bash Shell, which I suppose makes sense. I have read TFM, and it says I need to include the following information: > OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit > Make: Dell Laptop > Model: XPS M1530 > Keyboard: English (United Kingdom) > From /var/log/XWin.0.log: > 2010-02-18 08:58:14 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000809" (00000809) > 2010-02-18 08:58:14 (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (United Kingdom)" > (809), type "4" > 2010-02-18 08:58:14 Rules = "base" Model = "pc105" Layout = "gb" Variant = > "none" Options = "none" I have check the layout at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/keyboards.mspx and the UK keyboard layout is a perfect match, which makes sense since I bought this keyboard in the UK. I would be grateful for any help you all can provide.
