Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree

Thank you. I have made sure NumLock And CapsLock are OFF. I have attached
the output of xev when I strike the keys 0-9, backspace, -, = and tab. I
included some of the standard letter keys which do, in fact, work. Also
attached is /tmp/Xwin.log.
One thing I did try in all of this was ensuring I had a valid 104 key us pc
.Xmodmap in ~.
that produced exactly the same results I am seeing now.
Thanks.

Make sure NumLock and CapsLock are both OFF. That can sometimes cause
problem with certain X clients.
If that's not the culprit, try running xev and see if X is even getting the
keypress events. If xev spews a bunch of messages when pressing one of the
keys in questions, cut-and-paste them to the list and we'll have a look-see.
One other thing, post the contents of /tmp/XWin.log.
