Hello good guys,
I just installed the Cygwin packages on top of a "Windows 7". The
machine is Gateway NV55S28u. Install went fine. Rebooted the machine and
tried the bash window, this works fine. Then tried to start the X
server, and here I have a problem. I thing my problem is related to the
keyboard binding/support/missing packages...
I tried to use the command setxkbmap, but without the X server running I
am not getting anything beside "cannot open display".
For the Windows control panel -> devices -> keyboard, I see a "standard
PS2 keyboard". I have the xkeyboard-config package installed.
I am attaching the log of my troubles.
Thanks in advance for your great help.
