I use XP SP3. I can't reproduce this problem. The problem going away when you remove (and hence prevent from loading) the dynamically loaded swrast_dri.so *really* makes this look like a remap problem. There is some work upstream to remove this rather pointless fork/exec of xkbcomp and replace it with libxkbcommon, but that now seems unlikely to appear in X server 1.10. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
