Partly. If I pass
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
keycode 21 = acute grave cedilla ogonek cedilla ogonek
keycode 34 = udiaeresis Udiaeresis diaeresis degree diaeresis degree
keycode 35 = plus asterisk asciitilde dead_macron asciitilde dead_macron
keycode 48 = adiaeresis Adiaeresis asciicircum caron asciicircum caron
keycode 49 = asciicircum degree notsign notsign notsign notsign
keycode 51 = numbersign apostrophe grave breve grave breve
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
as a file to xmodmap, it works. However, the hint with XF86Config
doesn't help me much. I found no xorg.conf file on my Cygwin
installation (does this mean that it's broken?) so I created on with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
in /etc, with a copy in /etc/X11. However, it didn't have any
effect. An .Xmodmap or .xmodmaprc in my home directory had no
effect either.
Tschö,
Torsten.
