use xev to see keycode and keysym, if the key does not have desired
keysym use xmodmap or XKEYBOARD extension or xkeycaps to add it.
then use xmodmap to see which modifiers you have. example:
jojda:~>xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Meta_L (0x73), Meta_R (0x74)
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
from the above you can see that M or 1 can be used in keybindings as
alt key, 4 can be used for META_L or META_R (I used xev to see that it's
a key with MS Windows Logo on my keyboard). see man xmodmap for more
info (search for modifier, you can clear, add or remove modifier)
not sure if you already tried the obve, if you it does not work there
is something wrong with cygwin...
btw as far as autorepeating of keys goes you can set it up using xset
(individually per key), so if the modifiers do the autorepeat you can
turn it of, not sure if it would help your problem though...
