RE: XKB not working

["Pille Geert (bkarnd)" <geert dot pille at vandemoortele dot com>]

I'm very satisfied with this solution to get my belgian keyboard working:

 xkbcomp -xkm -m be /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 /tmp/be.xkm

 XWin +kb -xkbmap be -auth "$HOME/.Xauthority" -emulate3buttons

Subject: XKB not working



Hi!

Yesterday i installed cygwin with XFree 4.2.0. Everything worked fine
from the start except that I could not set it up for my german keyboard
layout. All I get, when I try to use eg. setxkbmap is a popup window
(outside the X server as a normal Win2000-window) with this error
message:

Failed assertion
fds_on_hold !=NULL
at line 643 of file
/cygnus/netrel/src/cygwin-1.3.10-1/winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc

Other tools using XKB (like Kde Control Center) cause the same error.

I found an earlier post from Charles L. Werner on this list, who appears
to have (had?) the same problem, but there does not seem to be a helpful
reply to that one.
As a workaround I am currently using xmodmap in the X server's startup
scripts, but I would really prefer to use XKB instead.

So, any ideas what might be wrong with my X server? What is this
fds_on_hold variable and that dtable.cc file all about, anyway?
