Re: nedit gives X-error of failed request - also issues with (x)emacs

Hello again, Thanks for the help and feedback so far. However, I am still struggling with the keyboard issue, i.e. I cannot use it in any editor after updating the X11 package earlier this week. I have just updated once more (reinstalling the X11 package), rebooted, but that did not help either.

Hello, Interesting. I quit cygwin including killing the X-server. Restarted my cygwin by double clicking the cygwin icon, executed startxwin.sh, which prompted an X-window to open, in which I can now type ! Going back to the cygwin window in which I typed the startxwin.sh command, I can now open

What I forgot to mention: There is no output generated by executing startxwin.sh, just an x-window opening that I can use as a terminal. Can you start a cygwin bash shell, run startxwin.sh and then copy and paste the output into a mail? Also confirm that your keyboard doesn't work for you when

libXaw8 replacement

I use a program (xdvi-xaw.exe, which I obtained from Angelo Graziosi's build of texlive for cygwin) that stopped working after the X11 upgrade. I traced this to the fact that it relied on the (now obsolete) libXaw8 package. Installing this package solved the problem, but I thought a better
