Re: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree

["Thomas Chadwick" <j_tetazoo at hotmail dot com>]

Make sure NumLock and CapsLock are both OFF.  That can sometimes cause 
problem with certain X clients.

If that's not the culprit, try running xev and see if X is even getting the 
keypress events.  If xev spews a bunch of messages when pressing one of the 
keys in questions, cut-and-paste them to the list and we'll have a look-see.

One other thing, post the contents of /tmp/XWin.log.
