Platform: Intel PIII, Win2k professional,
	  XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-3,
	  XFree86-etc 4.3.0-3,
	  XFree86-startup-scripts 4.2.0-5

I'm starting XWin in rootless mode, from a desktop shortcut to 
	C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat

I'm unable to get a Norwegian keyboard, using the -keyboard flag to
XWin.exe.

So far I've tried 
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -keyboard no
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -keyboard no-latin1
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -keyboard Keyboard1
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -keyboard "Keyboard1"
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config -keyboard Keyboard1
 start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xf86config /etc/X11/XF86Config -keyboard "Keyboard1"
without any success.  I still get US layout.

My /etc/X11/XF86Config file contains:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "Keyboard"

    Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
    Option "XkbLayout" "no"
    Option "XKbOptions" ""
EndSection

Thanx!
