Xmodmap.

Ok Suhaib, but it doesn't solve everything.

Using xev, I looked on keycodes generated by my keyboard, and found some
problems.

I'm on WinNT 4 SP6a FR
Cyg 1.1.8
XF 4.0.3
French keyboard (105 keys)

Almost keys are functional, except :

F12 (kills the XWin, may be normal)
PrintScreen (replies 63, like KP_multiply)
Pause (replies 77, like NumLock)
<> (replies nothing, it's between left shift and w)
AltGr (replies 64 like Alt)
RightShift (replies 37, like left shift)
KP_devide (replies 61, like *)
KP_enter (replie 36, like Return)
and all the special keys (Insert, Del, arrows ...) reply the same code that
KP_Insert, KP_del ..., so you can't have the KP for numbers and these keys for
movement.

And because AltGr doesn't replies correctly, you can't get access to the third
caracter given with xmodmap (which are, on French keyboard : ~#{[|`\^@]} ), a
bit anoying for programming, E-mail and so on, no ?

For who wants, I have the xmodmap for french keyboard, with the problems
inherent to X server described before that can't be solved by xmodmap.
