I just installed Zone Labs zone alarm, and an having problems that suggest similar problems may arise under Cygwin with the coming XP SP2?
When I try to start X windows, it fails with the log file below. This is weird because a ps shows (I opened 2 cygwin non-X to write this): PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND 2084 1 2084 2084 con 1005 14:30:52 /usr/bin/bash 3160 1 3160 3160 ? 1005 14:30:54 /usr/sbin/cron 1308 2084 1308 2300 con 1005 14:30:54 /usr/bin/tcsh 3924 1 4016 3240 con 1005 14:31:18 /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin 3060 1 4016 588 con 1005 14:31:19 /usr/bin/xterm 3740 1 4016 3356 con 1005 14:31:20 /usr/bin/xterm 676 3924 4016 592 con 1005 14:31:22 /usr/bin/sh 3320 1 3320 3320 con 1005 14:35:31 /usr/bin/bash 3136 1 3136 3136 ? 1005 14:35:33 /usr/sbin/cron 2068 3320 2068 1972 con 1005 14:35:33 /usr/bin/tcsh 3424 2068 3424 252 con 1005 14:35:46 /usr/bin/mutt 1020 3424 3424 2484 con 1005 14:35:51 /usr/bin/sh 3712 1020 3424 468 con 1005 14:35:51 /usr/bin/vim 2576 1308 2576 192 con 1005 14:41:00 /usr/bin/ps Does anyone have any experience with this? ------------8<------------ top cut -> bottom ------------->8------------ Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.7.0.0-12 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -unixkill -emulate3buttons -clipboard -multiwindow -silent-dup-error ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1600 h 1200 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winPrefsLoadPreferences: /home/ingber/.XWinrc winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless => ShadowGDI winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1600 height: 1199 depth: 32 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000409" (00000409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" ------------8<------------ bottom cut <- top ------------->8------------ Thanks.
