So does anyone have a comment on this problem that I am seeing. It is
keeping me from using it.
Am I the only one with the problem? Is this an FAQ that isn't on the FAQ?
Does no one understand my problem description?
Thanks. Sorry for posting an annoying follow-up.

sorry if this has been covered before, I have looked in the faq, the
documentation and the list archives, but it didn't see anything, maybe I
just missed it?
Using xfree86 on my windows 2000 machine with the latest version of cygwin,
looks like the modifiers (alt, shift, ctrl) don't work quite right. I am
using "xev" to look at what's going on and I see that the modifiers send a
keypress and keyrelease, but it does it constantly while I hold it down. On
a xfree86 port to Alpha/OSF (vncserver) (same on Solaris vncserver), I see
what a expect, a keypress event when I press the key, nothing until I
release it, when I get the keyrelease event.
This happens with the window manager on or off, all that is running is
mxterm and xev.
Thanks in advance.
