For your information, I am using the same scancode map
on a system. The system is JP Windows, US keyboard,
XKB enabled, no XF86Config file, and "setxkbmap -print"
prints:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc101)+pc/us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc101)" };
};
I can't reproduce your problems on this system.
Ideally speaking, changes of Windows scancode mapper are
invisible from Cygwin/X. Because scancodes are the only
information Cygwin/X uses, your Caps Lock key and Control
key should be completely equivalent for Cygwin/X.
I hope you track down your problem.
