Re: PATCH:


It seems I got distracted by something shiny whilst writing the original email. The subject should be something like "PATCH: Fix some keyboard strangeness".

There seem to be a couple of reported problem which seem to be due to
the fact that virtual core keyboard doesn't get the updated with the
state of the windows keyboard device until the first keypress.   This
can lead to oddness in the behaviour of  clients started from bash in a
DOS window before the X server receives a keypress...

This seems to be responsible for the problem reported with xemacs[1],
and a least part of the oddness with autorepeat reported in [2]

Attached patch works around this by forcing the state to be copied into
the VCK at startup time.

Thanks for the patch.


Since I've been pretty much away for the last few weeks, could you catch
me up on the new issues and patches?

Here's a small patch-set you could use to update cygports:


http://www.dronecode.org.uk/cygwin/cygwin-xorg-server-patch-set-update-20081218.tar.bz2

In addition to the above, this includes patches:

* an update to the keyboard layout mapping table which updates some no longer valid keyboard layout names (e.g. de_CH -> ch -variant "de") and adds a few more layouts culled from the list archives
* silence "GetWindowProp" log spam
* The patch to really fix -silent-dup-error
