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.

Guess what I'm doing all the time. I have a cross-compiler running on linux and test all cygwin/Cygwin XFree changes in a VmWare.

Please let me have your comments on my idea that aims to build win32 based x font server which is capable of exporting fonts installed on a Windows machine. By using this server, cygwin/xfree users do not need to install X-specific fonts aside from Windows fonts. This server is expected to behave as xfd. So any X server will benefit from this server. Since font installation is done in Windows side, almost no font configuration effort is required in X side. I'd like to have your opinion about this. I guess this kind of idea has already poped up in many peoples' mind. There might be a similar project or software proposed by someone else before... Any comment?

However, pointer movement on the target display was sluggish, and the Win2k Task Manager says it is using upwards of 95% CPU all the time.

Christian, Do NOT use the -emulatepseudo parameter. It does not do what you think it does. ONLY use the following parameters: startx -- -depth 8 -fullscreen Give that a try and report back.

Re: an idea for building win32 based xfs
Thanks for dropping me your comments. First of all, don't you mean xfs, not xfd? That's my mistake. It's xfs. Sorry. Secondly, how is this different from running the stock xfs that's in the XFree86 distro using free-type to support the Windows fonts? I should have stated my point more clearly. I want to get rid of fonts.dir file. mkfontdir doesn't work for me. Although FreeType provides decent font handling functions, win32 API does it better because fonts for Windows are made for Windows use. And I believe cygwin/xfree gains better performance with more exploitation of win32 API. So I have three options: 1) remake mkfontdir using win32 API the easiest work but still inside of fonts.dir world. 2) remake xfs using win32 API don't know how much work should be done but worth to try? 3) replace Xft layer of XFree86 with win32-based code may be...but I'm not an X guru! Fontconfig will eventually resolve this problem but I wonder if win32-based xfs sounds no nice? Taishin

A lot. the fontserver renders the truetype font to a bitmap font if it receives a request for font x at size y. You would have to do this for all characters. > 3) replace Xft layer of XFree86 with win32-based code > may be...but I'm not an X guru! never. This would break a lot of remote programs which require X11 fonts. Better idea: Take xfs, strip all font handling except TTF and replace reading of fonts.dir by an inline ttmkfdir or build the datastructure using simple w32api TrueType functions. bye ago
Re: rootless mode and mousing to other windows
So how was it that you start rootless mode again? Just kidding. I guess I should have mentioned that I was about to go on vacation for over a week after I sent my last message. My impression of XOpenWin was that it was going to replace the low-level graphic calls from Windows with calls to X. Ambitious, but sounds like a great deal of overhead. This does solve some of the problems you'll run into trying to get Windows to manage X applications, though. I'll have to join the win32-x11 mailing list and see what's happening there. The current direction you're taking is to allow Windows to manage the X windows (please keep this a separate feature from -rootless). I hope somebody's thinking about keeping this compatible with XOpenWin, since there could be some serious benefits to using both together. There are a number of other ways that integration between Windows and X could have been approached, although these are the most straightforward approaches. Both approaches wrap everything of interest, albeit at opposite ends (and the end results look totally different). But right now I'm interested in something much simpler: just removing focus from all windows when X itself loses focus. I've looked at this briefly, but I'd better follow up in another e-mail, rather than causing this thread to fork too much. -Jerry

Philippe, Be careful, the ``/B'' is not supported on Windows 95/98/Me.

xterm consumes all cpu
[ This is a bug report. ] What happens: boot winxp, start cygwin, run startxwin.bat, and XWin starts normally. If the first action is anything other than to close the xterm, for example, open the desktop menu, then everything will run fine. However, if the first action is to close the xterm, either by typing 'exit' or by clicking on the button in the window bar, the xterm process will consume 100% of my cpu (according to winxp task manager, assuming that was opened previously, because it will take forever to open after.) Interestingly, after killing the zombie xterm and window manager processes in winxp task manager and restart xwin, I can close xterm either by typing exit or clicking on the button in the window bar first and everything will run fine. So, it is only the first time after rebooting that this happens. I've tried this with wmaker, twm and fvwm2 window managers, and the problem persists except for the window manager that forces me to click to place the xterm, because that forces a first action other than to close the xterm. As this is a very strange and unlikely to be stumbled upon, I thought you'd want to know about it. Config attached.

Re: an idea for building win32 based xfs
Thank you for your comments. Alexander Gottwald wrote: there is a mkfontdir for truetype fonts. (ttmkfdir) I forgot to mention. But ttmkfdir does not support TrueType Collection files (*.ttc). And this one is based on FreeType 1, I guess. 2) remake xfs using win32 API don't know how much work should be done but worth to try? A lot. the fontserver renders the truetype font to a bitmap font if it receives a request for font x at size y. You would have to do this for all characters. I will use w32api to render fonts. Anti-aliasing would be a thing to be implemented later. 3) replace Xft layer of XFree86 with win32-based code may be...but I'm not an X guru! never. This would break a lot of remote programs which require X11 fonts. Better idea: Take xfs, strip all font handling except TTF and replace reading of fonts.dir by an inline ttmkfdir or build the datastructure using simple w32api TrueType functions. I see. I'll take the latter approach. I really appreciate your giving me an advice! Thanks, Taishin
