Problems with keyb layout and fonts?

[Michele G.]

After upgrading to X11R7.4 I had the same problems with the italian 
layout of keyboard. After doing some "strace-ing" on the X server and 
searching in the mailing list I solve my problems doing a rebaseall (see 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2008-11/msg00019.html).

Hope this helps.

Ciao,

Michele Gonfiantini
