Hello,
I am a beginner with cygwin, while I know how to use Linux (not as an expert
yet).
When I start xwin with startxwin.bat, the default keyboard in the xterm
appears to be querty and the default window manager appears to be twm.
I have 2 questions:
1/ How can I define the default keyboard to be Belgian (as in windows and
cygwin) and
2/ how can I use another window manager, for example xfce ?
Thank you for your help,
Best regards,
Nicolas Pettiaux
