German Keyboard - Again :-)

[George J. Wakileh]

Hello,

Keyboard issues have been discussed much recently.  I tried to follow what 
has been said, but I still have a problem.

I have a German keyboard. cygwin bash window recognizes my keyboard and 
everything is perfect.  However, when I 'startxwin', the German keyboard is 
no longer recognized, as seen below.

In /home/wakileh, I have .Xmodmap which has one line only
$HOME/xmodmap.de

xmodmap.de is what I downloaded based on a previous posting.

My .xsession has
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks very much.

George
