Hi,
I support a commerical application running on XFree86, which is started
automatically when a user logs onto via xdm. The OS it runs on is Solaris 8.
Recently the application has been upgraded though, and now it will only
start up if I supply the -kb flag to Xwin to disable the X keyboard
extension (no idea why):
xwin -ac -kb -query host
That was fine until I realised the capslock key didn't work anymore. After
much time, looking for a fix, I discovered I could get it to work without
the -kb flag, if I removed the symlink C:\Program
Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\xkb
However that seems a bit of a hack and I still don't understand why this
fixes it. I'm happy to use the -kb option, but could anyone tell me how to
fix the capslock key please?
Thanks,
Ed.
