I am running Cygwin/X ver 6.8.2.0-2 under Windows XP SP2
In xterm, or anything else that takes readline input, neither the shift,
nor control keys do anything. Echoed output is lower case no matter
whether the shift key or control key is pressed. No capital letters, and no
control keys are available. Behavior is the same whether the client is
local (local xterm) or on another machine (ddd on a linux box -- which is
my eventual goal). Even when ctrl and shift don't work, capslock works
fine.
In the regular cygwin shell, ctrl and shift work fine.
I'm running the standard US keyboard (PS2, not USB). I've tried more than
one keyboard -- both 102/103 key and also 105 key.
Attached are cygcheck.txt and also a copy of the output from startx.
Does anybody have a cure for this?
Thanks,
