Wow!  4.2.0-42 was released 2003/06/02.  Since then we have moved from 
XFree86 4.2.0 to 4.3.0 and had about 25 updates to the Cygwin X Server 
(XWin.exe, XFree86-xserv).  A lot of those updates are for 
keyboard-detection code written by Alexander Gottwald.  I suggest 
updating your installation and buying Alexander a pizza if it works for you:

Here is the release announcement for XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-42, in case 
anyone is interested:

Hope that helps,
