Re: Problem with arrow keys in x-based applications on cygwin


Here's a recap of my case:

Im running the newest version of Cygwin on Win 2k Pro. In the Cygwin
standard shell my left and right arrow (cursor) keys work fine.
However, if I start an xterm or any other x-based application from the
cygwin standard shell, the left and right arrow keys are not working
in the x-based application. I am starting the x-server using the
following parameters:

     XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xkblayout dk -xkbmodel pc105

I have tried to start XWin with different settings of keyboard layout
and model, including standard "us" without any luck. I have tried 3
different physical keyboards.
When running xev I can see that there are events fired for up and down
arrow keys, but not for left and right.

Any suggestions?

Best regards, Per
