Hello all, thanks for listening, I have a problem starting/working in Xfree under cygwin. I installed Xfree manually some time ago and figured that it would be easier maintaining it under the setup.exe by cygwin. I uninstalled X and proceeded to install it from scratch with the cygwin utility setup.exe (selecting the base package). Unfortunately, the new installation did not work properly. Unpon seeing that, I unsinstalled the package unsing the standard setup.exe utility and removed the /etc/X11 and the /usr/X11R6 branches (rm -Rf) to make sure no old config files would remain. I reinstalled the X base package with setup.exe and it still does not work. I have tried to start X using the startx and the startxwin.sh methods without complete success. They result in different behaviours however...
1- Starting X with startxwin.sh from bash in /dev/conin When starting X with the command startxwin.sh I manage to get X running with the main window with the aquamarine4 background. I even get the mouse shape for to indicate the position of a new window (xterm). When I try to position the window (which is called bash or unnamed), the mouse switch to the traditional X but no xterm appears. I can get the the twm menu with most functionalities working (show iconmgr, hide, move , delete, etc.) but no xterm. I get the mouse changing shape but no window appears. Just in case, I join the /tmp/Xwin.log file at the end. 2- Starting X with startx from bash in /dev/conin Using startx command leaves me hanging for a few second. Then ne main window appears followed by the clock that is specified in the .xinitrc file in ~/. X stop and the main window disapears with some error messages : waiting for X server to shut down XIO: fatal IO error 104 <Connection reset by peer> on X server ":0.0" after 279 requests <278 known processed> with 2 events remaining. XIO: fatal IO error 110 <Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown> on X server ":0.0" after 58 requests <49 known processed> with 0 events remaining. (the number of requests varies from time to time) I provide at the end the ~/.xinitrc. The startxwin.sh is the standard one that comes with the package. I have added a few lines in the ~/.xinitrc that were working in the old manual installation of X. I also provide information that may be useful like the version of packages. I would truely appreciate any help to find and solve this problem. Any ideas or thoughts would be most welcome. ================================================== Daniel Chamberland-Tremblay ================================================== FILES : ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ copy of /tmp/XWin.log ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1280 h 960 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows NT/2000 winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines () - Allowing PrimaryDD winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 0000001b winSetEngine () - Using Shadow DirectDraw winAdjustVideoModeShadowDD () - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAdjustForAutoHide - Original WorkArea: 0 0 932 1280 winAdjustForAutoHide - Adjusted WorkArea: 0 0 932 1280 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1274 h 907 r 1274 l 0 b 907 t 0 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - Returning winInitVisualsShadowDD () - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 32 winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () winScreenInit () - returning Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!
