RE: Setting a Norwegian keyboard on cygwin-xfree86

Ah, OK.

Thanx for the tip.  It gives the following output
the first time it's run (no output on subsequent
runs):
	Couldn't interpret _XKB_RULES_NAMES property
	Use defaults: rules - 'xfree86' model - 'pc101' layout - 'us'

But it actually seems to work in spite of 
this message.  I've put this command at the end of 
startxwin.bat, which seems to be working (I can't 
get characters like æ and ø in cygwin bash in a
cygwin xterm, but I get them in a linux bash in
the same xterm when I do an ssh to a linux box.
Characters like - and ' and *, are in on keys with
matching labels).  Thanx! :-)

I'm just curious: why is this? Why prefer an xmodmap 
solution?
