Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX
Hi, I try to use Cygwin-Xfree to connect to an AIX system with a X11 client session. The connection works fine (with the -kb option as the FAQ said), but it is in english keyboard, and of course, I have a french one. So the question is : - Is there a way to get a french keyboard without modifying the AIX server configuration itself ? (that is to say, only modifying local configuration inside Windows 2000) Note that if I connect in a xterm remote client with a X11 local interface (X11 running locally on my Windows 2000), I keep my french keyboard (I am using xmodmap locally, so it works), but with some strange behavior (for instance backspace seems to not work properly in the display but correctly in the result). I was wondering if there is a way to put the french keyboard in hard (compiled) in the XFree ? Note that a connexion with a commercial product in the same way (XDMCP client), I get correctly my french keyboard.

Re: Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX
I think all us from europe should try to get together and get the NLS thinngs to work on top of the great job the primarily done by Harold - this would really make a breakthrough on this side of the Atlantic ;-) - if I find some time I will try to sketch out the basics We could use a good tool for writing these X keymap files (I'm talking about xkb support, not xmodmap), but I think this is not the way to go with a word processor. I often have multilingual text, and If I'm in a, say, Russian part of my file, I want the keyboard to behave differently than in a, say, Esperanto or German or Czech part. In MS Word (which I have to use for a certain project, otherwise I'm fine with emacs and LaTeX), I can map key sequences to characters, a feature I really like and which would solve these problems for most of us. Missing it keeps me from using Oo for that MS Word project and other things apart from playing around with it. It could be done nicer than in Word, of course, so that certain mappings would only be valid for certain languages. For me, that autocorrect function would already be sufficient if it could be told to immediately replace in the middle of words as well, so I could simply say 'c - cacute and untick a 'whole word only' checkbox. There would be several projects I'd use Oof for immediately. But I don't know where I should post this and I don't have the time to dig into the sources of Oo myself. Best Edi

Re: Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX
Hi all, I'm not using XDMCP but I'm connecting to a AIX machine thru an x relay, and I also have some weird behavior with my keyboard (I mean, I need to press shift key to have num pad and 'accents' are not work) but all the other keys are working fine (I beleive it could be possible to change this with a few test on the remap of the keyboard).

Re: telnet or ssh
You have to install telnet and ssh in order to use them. They are not installed by default with Cygwin because most users do not use them (and they constantly whine about how Cygwin has too large of a default download) so you have to select them manually. Do that by running Cygwin's setup.exe, expanding the 'Net' category, then selecting the 'inetutils' and 'openssh' packages.

Re: Unable to get french keyboard with XDMCP connexion on AIX
Sorry, I was surely not enough precise. I know the xkbmap option and also the xmodmap. But, when you run XWin with the -query option in order to access to a X11 server (in this case an AIX IBM Server), you cannot anymore use the xmodmap since it is not running on your PC. For the +kb, since AIX needs that you specify -kb (no xkb support in XDMCP), then I was wondering if there is a way to compile the XWin.exe with the french option by default, that is to say, whatever the X11 server I am connecting to, I will use a french keyboard (or another for other people). I saw in the source : there is some #define like XKB_DFLT_KB_LAYOUT us Can I expect to get a fr running well here ? I know, it is from xkb, so perhaps it will not work whatever. So if someone knows the solution, at least to connect to an AIX system? Of course, I didn't mentionned, but I can't expect to change anything on the server side, only on the client side, i.e. the PC running Xfree. If I can do that, there will be a big administration (government) using Xfree instead of a commercial product, that's why I try top figure out... Regards FB There are basically two ways of doing that both works Goto www.gotti.org for a little more detail, this are the basics (I have tested both and they work ok) : 1: compile a keyboard with your french locale : (this is an example in fora belgish locale taken from an earlier append - change be to fr) : xkbcomp -xkm -m be /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 /tmp/be.xkm XWin +kb -xkbmap be -auth $HOME/.Xauthority -emulate3buttons 2: use xmodmap with a french xmodmap.fr file (you can download a redhat xmodmap library from www.gotti.org) You then just have to run the xmodmap /location of your xmodmap.fr file/xmodmap.fr Warning - you might recieve compile errors - i had to comment out the 6. line in the xmodmap.dk file to get it to work. Hope this helps you. I think all us from europe should try to get together and get the NLS thinngs to work on top of the great job the primarily done by Harold - this would really make a breakthrough on this side of the Atlantic ;-) - if I find some time I will try to sketch out the basics Med venlig hilsen / Regards Franz Wolfhagen - http://www.WebMailSPro.com - VOTRE service d'email sans pub avec VOTRE nom de domaine

Currently, the cygwin daemon implements some subset of the three main IPC mechanisms (semaphores, messages. shared memory) -- but I don't remember if shm was part of that subset... Anyway, even if the cygwin-daemon DOES provide the necessary IPC features, you'd probably need to recompile kde-cygwin against it instead of CygIPC. --Chuck the cygwin-daemon code was recently merged into CVS; the snapshots have the functionality but the daemon itself is not turned on by default. Just like ipcdaemon.exe, you have to start up the cygwin-daemon yourself. For more info, see the cygwin-developers mailing list archives.

DR. SULEIMON TAFIDA NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION FEDERAL SECRETARIAT,FALOMO- LAGOS, NIGERIA. TELEPHONE: 234-1-775-0572 Dear Sir, First, I must solicit your trust and strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of it's nature as been utterly confidential and top secret. You were introduced to us by a mutual acquaintance from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division. He does not know of the nature of what I am about to introduce to you. He only knows that I have some funds to invest abroad, hence he recommended you. I am the Director of Engineering Project of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in Lagos, Nigeria. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$36,400,000.00 into your private or company account for mutual benefits. This money came about as a result of a contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer unit, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance executed on behalf of my Ministry(N.N.P.C), in the year 1999. This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign contractors at the tune of US $116,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost ofUS $80,100.000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$36.4million floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria(C.B.N) to the benefits of we the three members of the contract award panel unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed, inspected and commissioned, and the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry. It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the difference (US$36.4M) into your account for further investment depending on your advice. On actualization of the transaction ,the funds will be shared thus: 1. 20% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 2. 10% for incidental expenses that may be incurred ie insurance, phone bills, documentation etc. 3. 70% to we three members of the Contract Award Panel. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information by fax: Your company's Name. Address. Phone/Fax number and activities. Also, if we opt for electronic transfer only other than payment by solar bank draft or cash call program, then your bank account particulars. The above information will enable me make the payment application and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries in favor of your company or name and it is pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the fear of God. If you are able to handle it, feel free to reach me on phone number via my Telephone:231-1-775-0572 which is my confidential line. Also furnish me with your own phone and fax numbers as I will be sending you all necessary registration documents immediately I receive your positive response. Thanks in anticipation for your positive response. yours faithfully. Dr. SULEIMON Tafida (Director-NNPC) --
