Dear Cygwinnies
It seems that Cygwin understands correctly your computer environment .
i.e in my case french keyboard and $HOME /home/administrateur.
What a headache under X !
A soon as you open a session you are in /usr/X11R6 and not in
/home/administratreur.
cd instruction works and you are in /home/administrateur with a US
keyboard .bashrc .profile are not taken into account .
Concerning xmodmap instructions such as
xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = a A ae AE "
are taken into account when introduced manually.
.
However a shell in which you have all the instructions for your keyboard
fail.
Example of a part of xmod.exe file
#!
xmodmap -e "keycode 8 = "
xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Escape "
xmodmap -e "keycode 10 = ampersand 1 onesuperior exclamdown "
xmodmap -e "keycode 11 = eacute 2 asciitilde oneeighth "
xmodmap -e "keycode 12 = quotedbl 3 numbersign sterling "
xmodmap -e "keycode 13 = apostrophe 4 braceleft dollar "
xmodmap -e "keycode 14 = parenleft 5 bracketleft threeeighths "
xmodmap -e "keycode 15 = minus 6 bar fiveeighths "
xmodmap -e "keycode 16 = egrave 7 grave seveneighths "
xmodmap -e "keycode 17 = underscore 8 backslash trademark "
xmodmap -e "keycode 18 = ccedilla 9 asciicircum plusminus "
xmodmap -e "keycode 19 = agrave 0 at degree "
xmodmap -e "keycode 20 = parenright degree bracketright questiondown "
xmodmap -e "keycode 21 = equal plus braceright dead_ogonek "
xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace "
xmodmap -e "keycode 23 = Tab ISO_Left_Tab "
xmodmap -e "keycode 24 = a A ae AE "
xmodmap -e "keycode 25 = z Z guillemotleft less "
X broke
and
I got the following indication
sous systeme MSDOS 16 bits
xterm UC NTVDM
instruction illégale
CS:06e4 IP:0177 OP:63 6c 61 6d 64
I do not know what to do. There is also a problem in xmodmap with the
key located left of W < > less greater
Really too bad !!
Need Help
Best regards
Yours
Bernard
