RE: Key Stroke Mapping

["Suman Mukherjee" <smukherjee at bloxx dot com>]

Hello

I am using cygwin and X-window.
>From cygwin terminal my keystrokes are proper. However from X window terminal, my keystrokes are totally mixed up.
e.g. \ mapped to # 
# mapped to £ and so on. 
It is very difficult to keep the track.
Would you please help me to reset those settings as normal one. 
I am using windows XP.

Regards
Suman
PS: Below is the script I am using to run the X-terminals

REM 
REM The path in the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable assignment assume
REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.? You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.? For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will need 
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.
REM 
REM This batch file will almost always be run from the same drive (and
REM directory) as the drive that contains Cygwin/X, therefore you will
REM not need to add a drive letter to CYGWIN_ROOT.? For example, you do
REM not need to change \cygwin to c:\cygwin if you are running this
REM batch file from the C drive.

REM The error "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" is
REM caused by using a DOS mode mount for the mount that the Cygwin/X
REM fonts are accessed through.? See the Cygwin/X FAQ for more

REM Brief descriptions of XWin-specific options:
REM
REM -screen scr_num [width height]
REM????? Enable screen scr_num and optionally specify a width and
REM????? height for that screen.
REM????? Most importantly, any parameters specified before the first -screen
REM????? parameter apply to all screens.? Any options after the first -screen
REM????? parameter apply only to the screen that precedes the parameter.
REM????? Example:
REM????????? XWin -fullscreen -screen 0 -screen 1 -depth 8 -screen 2
REM????? All screens will be fullscreen, but screen 2 will be depth 8, while
REM????? screens 0 and 1 will be the default depth (whatever depth Windows
REM????? is currently running at).
REM -multiwindow
REM????? Start an integrated Windows-based window manager.? Not to be used
REM????? with -rootless nor -fullscreen.
REM -rootless
REM????? Use a transparent root window with an external window manager
REM????? (such as twm).? Not to be used with -multiwindow nor
REM????? with -fullscreen.
REM -fullscreen
REM????? Use a window as large as possible on the primary monitor.
REM -multiplemonitors
REM????? Create a root window that covers all monitors on a
REM????? system with multiple monitors.
REM -clipboard
REM????? Enable the integrated version of xwinclip.? Do not use in
REM????? conjunction with the xwinclip program.
REM -depth bits_per_pixel
REM????? Specify the screen depth to run at (in bits per pixel) using a
REM????? DirectDraw-based engine in conjunction with the -fullscreen
REM????? option, ignored if the -fullscreen option is not specified.
REM????? By default, you will be using a DirectDraw based engine on any
REM????? system that supports it.
REM -unixkill
REM????? Trap Ctrl+Alt+Backspace as a server shutdown key combination.
REM -nounixkill
REM????? Disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace as a server shutdown key combination (default).
REM????? Example:
REM????????? XWin -unixkill -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -nounixkill
REM????? Screens 0 and 1 will allow Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but screen 2 will not.
REM -winkill
REM????? Trap Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination (default).
REM -nowinkill
REM????? Disable Alt+F4 as a server shutdown key combination.
REM -scrollbars
REM????? Enable resizing of the server display window.? Do not use in conjunction
REM????? with -multiwindow nor with -rootless.
REM -nodecoration
REM????? Draw the server root window without a title bar or border.
REM????? Do not use with -mutliwindow nor with -rootless.
REM -lesspointer
REM????? Hide the Windows mouse cursor anytime it is over any part of the
REM????? window, even if Cygwin/X is not the window with the focus.
REM -refresh rate_in_Hz
REM????? Specify a refresh rate to use when used with the -fullscreen option.
REM -trayicon
REM????? Enable the tray icon (default).
REM -notrayicon
REM????? Disable the tray icon.
REM????? Example:
REM????????? XWin -notrayicon -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -trayicon
REM????? Screens 0 and 1 will not have tray icons, but screen 2 will.
REM -emulate3buttons [timeout]
REM????? Emulate 3 button mouse with an optional timeout in milliseconds.
REM -xf86config
REM????? Specify an XF86Config-style configuration file.
REN -keyboard
REM????? Specify a keyboard device from the configuration file.


REM
REM Startup the programs
REM


REM Startup the X Server with the integrated Windows-based window manager.
REM WARNING: Do not use 'xwinclip' in conjunction with the ``-clipboard''
REM command-line parameter for XWin.? Doing so would start two clipboard
REM managers, which is never supposed to happen.

%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error


REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.

%RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l


REM
REM Startup the twm window manager.
REM WARNING: Do not use an external window manager in conjunction with
REM the ``-multiwindow'' command-line parameter for XWin.? Doing so
REM would start two window managers, which is never supposed to happen.
REM

REM %RUN% twm


REM Set a background color.? Only needed when not using -multwindow for XWin.
