AltGr and cygwin (French keyboard)

[Benoit Ledoux]

Hello,

I using the Xwin X server of cygwin and try to setup it to work with my 
french keyboard. Unfortunatly I am not able to make the AltGr key work 
correctly (needed for ~#{[|`\^@]}).

I am using xmodmap to re-map my keyboard. You will find bellow the 
.Xmodmap file I am using. The only work arround I found is to use the 
right-click menu key as the AltGr key.

I guess Xwin doesn't like the fake Control_L event that is generated by 
windows when pressing the AltGr key.

Any help would be appreciated.
Benoit
