Dear Cygwin users,

    I do not succeed in setting my german keyboard (portable PC, 88 
keys) under Cygwin XFree86. I have read the FAQ's  and the hints on the 
Chemnitz homepage  
(http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/#config).  This is what  I 
did so far:

- I have copied the  XF86Config sample file into the directory  
etc/X11/XF86Config, which I first had to create, and unpacked     it
- I have uncommented the lines
                            Option "XkbRules"    "xfree86"
                            Option "XkbModel"    "pc105"
                            Option "XkbLayout"    "de"

Nevertheless I still have the US keyboard settings. It seems as if the 
config file is completely ignored. My /tmp directory is not mounted at 
all. I am using the latest Cygwin version (1.5.5-1.)

Thank you in advance,
Rainer.
