xmodmap probs...

[Markus Schneider <schneid at cs dot uni-bonn dot de>]

Hello,

I am trying hard to get my german keyboard working, but I am still running 
into problems:

- I already created a ~/.xsession file, and downloaded the german 
~/.Xmodmap file from gotti.org 
(http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/?jump=xfree)

(.xsession)

usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
     xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
     xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

But I don't have the /usr/lib/X11 - branch! Did I miss something out? Do I 
need $sysmodmap at all when I use the $usermodmap?

- Running xterm locally works, and after I issue "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" I get 
german Umlauts!!!

But I want to use my Linux box as a remote client:

$ XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x768x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 -fullscreen 
-query yeti &

Now I can log in using kdm! Everything works perfect except my keyboard...
After I changed back to Cygwin, I tried:

$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

But I get error messages saying that 127.0.0.1 is not allowed to connect to 
server...

$ xhost localhost

Does not work either (same problem!)

When X starts up, I get:
"error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy"

Is there a connection between my problem and the missing SecurityPolicy file?
Where do I get it then?

Any help appreciated,

Markus


PS: I really love this project, and I am wondering if there will be need 
for commercial X-servers anymore...
