Re: AltGr and cygwin (French keyboard)

["bitlov" <bitlov at ibelgique dot com>]

Your xmodmap file is incomplete.
You should add this :
keycode 107 = Delete
keycode 108 = KP_Enter
keycode 109 = Control_R
keycode 110 = Pause
keycode 111 = Print
keycode 112 = KP_Divide
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
keycode 114 = Break
! right windows-logo key
! in "windows" keyboards the postion of the key is annoying, is where AltGr
! usually resides, so go definie it as AltGr
keycode 116 = Mode_switch
! right windows-menu key, redefined as Compose key
keycode 117 = Multi_key

For my part, I have troubles with my numlock key. Could you try if yours is
functionning ?
