Hello,
Keyboard issues have been discussed much recently. I tried to follow what
has been said, but I still have a problem.
I have a German keyboard. cygwin bash window recognizes my keyboard and
everything is perfect. However, when I 'startxwin', the German keyboard is
no longer recognized, as seen below.

In /home/wakileh, I have .Xmodmap which has one line only
$HOME/xmodmap.de
xmodmap.de is what I downloaded based on a previous posting.
My .xsession has
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks very much.
George
