capslock key not working after disabling the X keyboard extension

[Edward Quick]

Hi,

I support a commerical application running on XFree86, which is started 
automatically when a user logs onto via xdm. The OS it runs on is Solaris 8.

Recently the application has been upgraded though, and now it will only 
start up if I supply the -kb flag to Xwin to disable the X keyboard 
extension (no idea why):

xwin -ac -kb -query host

That was fine until I realised the capslock key didn't work anymore. After 
much time, looking for a fix, I discovered I could get it to work without 
the -kb flag, if I removed the symlink C:\Program 
Files\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\xkb

However that seems a bit of a hack and I still don't understand why this 
fixes it. I'm happy to use the -kb option, but could anyone tell me how to 
fix the capslock key please?

Thanks,

Ed.
