keyboard settings


Dear Cygwin users,

I do not succeed in setting my german keyboard (portable PC, 88 keys) under Cygwin XFree86. I have read the FAQ's and the hints on the Chemnitz homepage (http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/#config). This is what I did so far:

- I have copied the XF86Config sample file into the directory etc/X11/XF86Config, which I first had to create, and unpacked it
- I have uncommented the lines
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"


Nevertheless I still have the US keyboard settings. It seems as if the config file is completely ignored. My /tmp directory is not mounted at all. I am using the latest Cygwin version (1.5.5-1.)

Thank you in advance,
Rainer.
