Cygwin XFree ignores the keyboard

Hello everyone,
I have been using Cygwin XFree86 for some time on a Winbook X1 running XP
Pro, and it was working great with several Linux machines. A couple of months
back it started to ignore the keyboard. IOW, I type and nothing happens in
any Xwindows frame which makes things rather difficult. The mouse still
works.
First I tried doing a 'reinstall' to no effect. Then I uninstalled everything
and did a complete reinstall with the latest versions of Cygwin and Xfree86.
The reinstall seemed to go well but I saw one script error reporting a 'null'
value somewhere. At the time, there was no way to know (that I knew of) to
see exactly which package gave the error so I ignored it and went on.
This issue is not addressed in the FAQ so now I turn to you. All help will be
greatly appreciated.
Jim
