RE: [ATTN: Harold] RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree
Ok, the keys i pressed, in order: the 1 (on the top row, NOT on the number pad) the h the numlock, twice the 2 (on the top row, NOT on the number pad) the , as you can see, the 1 and the h are interpreted as the same key, as is the 2 and the , This behaviour holds true for the rest of the number keys across the top row , the dash, the equal sign, the backspace key and the tab key. To the best of my knowledge, all other keys are working correctly.

RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree
Thank you. I have made sure NumLock And CapsLock are OFF. I have attached the output of xev when I strike the keys 0-9, backspace, -, = and tab. I included some of the standard letter keys which do, in fact, work. Also attached is /tmp/Xwin.log. One thing I did try in all of this was ensuring I had a valid 104 key us pc .Xmodmap in ~. that produced exactly the same results I am seeing now.

RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree
Device Manager identifies it as a Standard 101/102-Key. The problem with the workaround is that pressing the '1' key reports as keycode 43 and generates an h. Pressing an 'h' also reports as keycode 43 and generates an h. Hence, if I remap keycode 43, I now have a 1, but no h. This is so freakin mystifying. Why would two keys report the same keycode when pressed?? -Original Message- From: Thomas Chadwick [mailto:j_tetazoo;hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree Looking at XWin.log, I can tell you're using an XF86Config file. However, your settings seem to match mine, which is good, I think, since I don't use an XF86Config file at all (resulting in defaults). Since xev is telling us that the X server is at least getting the keystrokes, a work-around would be to systematically figure out the keycodes using xev, and then add them to your .Xmodmap file. For instance, if xev reports that pressing the 1 key gives you keycode 200, then put keycode 200 = 1 exclam in .Xmodmap. As for the root cause? I'm at a loss to explain it. However, I'm not exactly an expert on the subject, so hopefully someone else on the list may be able to figure it out. One other thought: Maybe your keyboard isn't a standard 101/102-key keyboard? What does the Windows Device Manager identify your keyboard as?
