Alt-Gr, Windows XP,

[Christian Winter]

Dear people,
let me propose a pragmatic way to solve the Alt-Gr problem when using non-US keyboards in an ssh session to some linux server under Xfree86 running Windows XP: 

(tested for German keyboard layout) :

uninstall PowerToys from Windows XP

get xmodmap (e.g. from http://home.imf.au.dk/hellmund/xmodmap/)
rename to .xmodmap and put into cygwin-home directory

start cygwin-shell

type startx
(German Umlauts do not work here)

xhost + servername

shh -l username servername
(german Umlauts work here, so do Alt-Gr)

if BackSpace does not work in new xterm : put the following line into the .profile on the server home directory: 
xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace'

At least it works for me.

Thank you for this fantastic software.
Regards,
Christian
