I tried mod3-mod5 as well, but > no luck, emacs seems to map all modifier apart from control and shift to > meta, instead mapping some to Hyper (H- ) or Super (S- ) Your questions really do seem to be about X. I think you're more likely to get help if you send this to the cygwin-xfree list. I myself don't have a clue. Also, are you sure this is a Cygwin issue? Do you have the same problem on Linux? Keep in mind that Cygwin tries to provide Linux-like behavior in general, and emacs is no exception.
