Hi,
I have a Cygwin installation on XP and have recently installed the latest X11 software for it.
Working fine, except for one minor irritation.
I have a Microsoft Natural keyboard, UK layout. X seems to ignore (for all practical purposes) the options
-xkbmodel "microsoft" -xkblayout "gb" which I specify on the Xwin.exe command line.
In X, if I use setxkbmap -print, it correctly displays that it's an MS keyboard with UK layout, however several keys are
always incorrect, like Shift-2 which is @ instead of ", Shift-3 which is # instead of £, and the usual suspects of \/|<>
which are also incorrectly mapped.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Liam
