XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-42, Alt Gr, clipboard, accents...

["Philippe Auclair" <Philippe dot Auclair at diamant dot jouy dot inra dot fr>]

Hi,

I have updated to version 4.3.0-42 of XFree86-xserv. I am using Windows XP
and a French keyboard.

Here are the results:
--------------------
Alt Gr key works with the standard startxwin.sh for Sun Solaris 9 clients,
but not for Solaris 7 clients.
For Solaris 7 clients, "setxkbmap fr" changes nothing, neither does a
/etc/X11/XF86Config file.
For Solaris 7 clients, I run xmodmap with these commands:

clear Mod5
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
add Mod3 = Mode_switch

keycode 10 = ampersand 1
keycode 11 = eacute 2 asciitilde
keycode 12 = quotedbl 3 numbersign
keycode 13 = apostrophe 4 braceleft
keycode 14 = parenleft 5 bracketleft
keycode 15 = minus 6 bar
keycode 16 = egrave 7 grave
keycode 17 = underscore 8 backslash
keycode 18 = ccedilla 9 asciicircum
keycode 19 = agrave 0 at
keycode 20 = parenright degree bracketright
keycode 21 = equal plus braceright
--------------------
In order to copy and paste text between X clients and Windows programs, I
still have to specify
"-clipboard" in the XWin command of the startxwin.sh script (it is not yet
the standard argument).

Selected text in X clients now stays highlighted.
--------------------
The accented characters on the French keyboard work correctly: e-acute,
e-grave, c-cedilla, a-grave, u-grave.

The accented characters obtained by pressing first the accent (circumflex,
diaresis) and then the letter work for cygwin X clients, for not for Solaris
7 or Solaris 9 X clients.

The accented characters with tilde work for the cygwin shell, but not for
cygwin or Solaris X clients.

I haven't included the accented characters because the message gets blocked,
considered as Spam!
--------------------

Thanks to Harold for all the work!
