i found out about "mount" and the /tmp :-) i didn't know about all this before.
there in tmp i found xwin.log, an excerpt:

winScreenInit - returning
InitOutput - Returning.
(==) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000407" 
(==) Using preset keyboard for "German (Germany)" (00000407), type "4"
(EE) No primary keyboard configured
(==) Using compiletime defaults for keyboard
Rules = "xfree86" Model = "pc105" Layout = "de" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)"
Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap
winBlockHandler - Releasing pmServerStarted
winBlockHandler - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned


i rebooted the machine and clicked the cygwin desktop icon and typed mount. this
is the result:

C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\cygwin\tmp on /tmp type user (binmode)
C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
f: on /cygdrive/f type user (binmode,noumount)
p: on /cygdrive/p type user (binmode,noumount)
q: on /cygdrive/q type user (binmode,noumount)
t: on /cygdrive/t type user (binmode,noumount)

i think /tmp is already in binmode. after your mount commands nothing changed.

i'd like to strace the xserver to find out why it sais it cannot load xkb.

but once i strace it, it works!

what can i do?


cu & thx
