I found no posted answer to Williams problem, so I'm posting this: Check to see if: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB Exists. In my case, it did not. I manually copied it from the ports source tree: cp /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-documents/work/xc/lib/X11/XKeysymDB \ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ And the next time I started X, the keyboard behaved! I found the idea here: http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com/msg06702.html Note that I used portupgrade to upgrade to 4.3.0. I don't know why this file didn't get installed. I'm not subscribed to questions@, so please cc: me on any replies. ...david --- david raistrick drais@atlasta.net http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
