xmodmap probs...

Hello,
I am trying hard to get my german keyboard working, but I am still running
into problems:
- I already created a ~/.xsession file, and downloaded the german
~/.Xmodmap file from gotti.org
( http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/?jump=xfree )
(.xsession)
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
But I don't have the /usr/lib/X11 - branch! Did I miss something out? Do I
need $sysmodmap at all when I use the $usermodmap?
- Running xterm locally works, and after I issue "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" I get
german Umlauts!!!
But I want to use my Linux box as a remote client:
$ XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x768x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 -fullscreen
-query yeti &
Now I can log in using kdm! Everything works perfect except my keyboard...
After I changed back to Cygwin, I tried:
$ export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
But I get error messages saying that 127.0.0.1 is not allowed to connect to
server...
$ xhost localhost
Does not work either (same problem!)
When X starts up, I get:
"error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy"
Is there a connection between my problem and the missing SecurityPolicy file?
Where do I get it then?
Any help appreciated,
Markus
PS: I really love this project, and I am wondering if there will be need
for commercial X-servers anymore...
