Re: keyboard not working

******************************
Somebody please FAQ this somewhere

Found the solution somewhere in the email list (took
me a while to perform
the proper query).

Check this out:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-08/msg00145.html

As described there, the X server global variables 
XAPPLRESDIR, XCMSDB,
XKEYSYMDB and XNLSPATH  were set by some other program
to point to
/usr/X11R5. The latest Xfree included with Cygwin
seems to be checking on
this and so it does not work (Cygwin location for
these is /usr/X11R6, not
R5). In the message Pavel mentions Microsoft Services
for Unix, which I have
installed too. I am almost sure this is the one that
created those system
variables.

As I do not use X from SFU (I only need the nfs
capability so my local
Windows drives can be accessed from Linux without
Samba), I really do not
care about breaking up X there and so I just got rid
of those variables.

I hope this is also the solution you were looking for,

Best Regards,

JUAN

Which programs have you tried? Please also run xev for
testing and press
some keys in the "Event Test" window. Are there some
ButtonPress events
reported?

Yes! Mouseevents are all reported correctly.
Additionally I see events from
Shift/Ctrl/Alt and, most surprising, the numeric
keypad is working as well.
Still nothing from the rest of the keyboard....

Stephan
