I was overjoyed to see that the release notes for the new X server
release
mention support for resizing the X desktop with the windows desktop.
Unfortunately, it didn't work :(
I modified the xwin windows shortcut to run as follows:
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
-- -resize
You need to quote the entire command you are passing to bash after -c
i.e, try C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c
"/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -resize"
Then started the server at 1920x1200x32bpp while my ThinkPad was
attached to
an external LCD.
When I detached the monitor to leave the office, X disappeared with
signal 11
(log attached). Oddly, the log file didn't mention -resize as an
argument to
XWin, but it did attempt to resize so I assume the feature was active.
There have been some reports of the X server segfaulting when the
resolution changed, prior the addition of -resize support.
This is something which also needs to be fixed.
Huh. So it wasn't trying to resize at all, and just seg faulted due to
existing badness?
Thanks for the heads-up about quoting... that also explains why my
attempts to set the resolution weren't working...
