Re: Searching on Mailing list and Update on fvwm2 for cygwin
This isn't an issue for the cygwin mailing list. We actually have a mailing list for Cygwin XFree86 issues. I've redirected this email there. I'll also be blocking this subject from future helpful followups in cygwin at cygwin dot com.

Re: how does xwin resolve ip addresses
Ok, problem resolved. After much digging around and non-help from 3Com I have sussed the damn thing out. When such a thing happens, either the ipconfig not returning the whole information or a 20106 error in the system log (doesn't seem to matter if it's talking about a different interface), the RRAS service is the damned culprit. So answer was disable the damn thing. Thanks to all that helped and many thanks to Ago, Chris _ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

The postinstall scripts remain after they are executed, but are renamed to .done. They are located in /etc/postinstall. If you suspect a particular package, you should be able to browse through its postinstall script. If there is indeed a bug (as you seem to indicate), I'm sure the maintainer of the package would appreciate a patch (or at least a note on how to fix things).

RE: Emacs in XWin is performing oddly
Sorry for the typos in my last message. It is nearing the end of the business day and my brain is fried .
Emacs in XWin is performing oddly
I have installed all of the cygwin emacs packages and I now am experiencing problems with emacs with the X server. Launching emaces causes one of the following: 1) the application never displays its window (CPU utilization to 100%) 2) the application displays its window but it is unresponsive (CPU utilization to 100%) 3) About 1 in 4 times it runs correctly even after a clean reboot of the PC Any clues would be very helpful. thanks in advance, jim drash
Re: Problems with xedit, xcalc, xfontsel, emacs
It seems that a simlink is broken. ... but I wonder what is the reason for that. I had the same problem on my machine. After a lot of debugging I gave up for the first time. Then I installed Cygwin with XFree on a friend's box and - voila - xedit&co worked fine. So I decided to reinstall my Cygwin. First I renamed the old Cygwin folder and removed all entries from the registry. Then I installed everything what I had in my old local package directory from ftp://mirrors.rcn.net. But ;( the same problem again. The only difference (checking cygcheck) to my friend's box was that on his box I only installed a subset of my packages. Now I guess that this must be a problem which is related to the order of installing certain X-packages. There must be a package which creates app-defaults as a regular folder before any symbolic link is created such that instead of moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ls -l drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein 0 Nov 12 18:51 a/ total 0 moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ln -s a b moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein0 Nov 12 18:51 a/ lrwxrwxrwx1 moserKein 82 Nov 12 18:51 b -> a/ later it looks like this: moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein0 Nov 12 18:51 a/ drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein0 Nov 12 18:53 b/ moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ln -s a b moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein0 Nov 12 18:51 a/ drwxr-xr-x2 moserKein0 Nov 12 18:54 b/ moser@PIP /tmp/test $ ls -l b total 0 lrwxrwxrwx1 moserKein 82 Nov 12 18:54 a -> a I guess the package which installs app-defaults/Mwm must be culprit.

RE: Questions on XWin.exe arguments
This is not a fuction of XWin at all. It is a fuction of the window manager you are running. twm has this behaviior. If you want a different behavior use a different window manager.
Re: Questions on Xwin.exe arguments
Vola,
Are you imploring some university to answer your questions? If you're
addressing a human being from whom you wish to solicit an answer to your
questions, then please use the English word "you."
While I am just one man and most certainly not an institution of any kind,
I can tell you that window activation behavior in X is handled by the
window manager. By default, twm uses the "classic" X focus-follows-mouse
behavior. If twm allows this to be changed, the twm documentation probably
holds that answer to how. Look for the word "focus" or "Focus" for
starters. Also read the options regarding window raising behavior ("raise"
/ "Raise").
By the way, the activation behavior you want (that expected by most
personal computer users who've never used X) is the default in Window
Maker. Perhaps you'd like to try it. It's a lot "fancier" than twm, which
you may or may not find desirable. Twm is pretty much the most elementary
window manager available for XFree86/Cygwin. The next step up in terms of
features and sophistication would be "fvwm2." I think it also has the kind
of default window activation behavior you want.

RE: right mouse button again, motif on solaris
Chris, This is way beyond me. I implemented the mouse and keyboard code as best I could with the crappy documentation that is available. Since then I have not seen anything that explains what the ``real'' way to do things is, so I will just leave the code be until either someone else messes with it (fine by me) or until someone can find some better documentation. Harold -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@;cygwin.com]On Behalf Of Chris Twiner Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 11:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: right mouse button again, motif on solaris Hi All, An application, Razor (Motif) that I'm running won't allow the right button to work. After investigation this appears to be a bug in the Motif libraries within Solaris. However as it appears different on different Xservers the common factor seems to be the mouse setting. A post : http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=3717E7 13.BBD3D2F1%40soest.hawaii.edu&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dmotif%2Bproblem%2Br ight%2Bmouse%2Bbutton%2Bsolaris%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26hl%3Den Seems to indicate that the server tells the client how many mouse buttons are supported. This seems to be a motif issue. Under NEdit for example it is possible to get the right mouse button menu by disabling num-lock, scoll-lock and caps-lock. Of course Razor doesn't work this way. (basic problem is drag and drop doesn't work over ssh, since it uses it's own protocol, so a right mouse button is the only other way to work it). Exceed doesn't share the problem cygwin has. Cygwin's problem seems very similar to the problem indicated by the above post. i.e. cygwin tells the motif version there are X number of buttons and it chooses the last button for right button as default. Is there any way of checking what an individual application believes or indeed checking/changing what the cygwin is telling the clients?

Hi Gilles, thanks for your quick help. Indeed it seems that in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 there existed two entries for "app-defaults".

Adding a german keyboard to a default installation ...
Hello, I recently downloaded the Cygwin default packages and additionally the complete X11 package, because I have to access several Unix machines via VPN + X-Server from a laptop. I had no problems with the installation and with some try&error I was successful getting the CDE of our AIX on my local screen typing: "xwin -query ... -from ..." (The -from parameter was a must, I suppose because of the VPN access.) Unfortunately I'm not able to install a german keyboard layout even though I tried to apply the tips in this forum. (I hope I did my inquiries with enough care.) That's what I've already tried (without success): (1) Appending "xmodmap -display ... /etc/X11/xmodmap.de" to xinitrc (with and without -display VPN-IP or 127.0.0.1 and different path names) (2) Creating a .xsession file in my home directory with usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap (the latter folder does not exit on my installation ...) if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi (3) Trying all combinations of naming the modmap file, i.e. .Xmodmap, xmodmap.de in the different locations Calling the program xmodmap with a map file results in the error message "unable to open display ''". This does not not change when I explicitly enter the IP of my VPN access or 127.0.0.1 ...
