AltGr handling from Java app on Solaris host


Hi again!

I can't see I got any response so I try once more. May be I used the wrong
address? Will try cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com this time.

Hi!

I have installed the latest Cygwin (setup say: setup-timestamp:
1020655814,setup-version: 2.194.2.26) and Cygwin xfree (4.2.0).

I use xmodmap with the xmodmap.no found on
http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree.

Using this xmodmap the AltGr keys (which produce @£{[]}...) works fine in
the local X bash shell. When running a remote xterm on a Solaris host the
AltGr keys still works fine in xterm and in Emacs. When I start a Java (X)
application (Gawors LDAP browser which can be found on
http//www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gawor/ldap/index.html) on the Solaris host
however AltGr no longer works inside the Java applications. I have tested
the same application using XWin32 and have no problem with the AltGr key
there.

Local xev reports keycode 113 (keysym 0xff7e, Mode_swithc) when I press the
AltGr key.
I havn't found xev on the Solaris host so I don't know what that would
report.

How should I set up Cygwin xfree to handle AltGr also for Java applications?

Arne
