Hosts and X0.hosts
1. Hosts - I have used C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts for a long time on a Windows 2000 terminal server. But for some or another reason the Hosts file suddenly is being deleted from the system, and again as soon as I recreate it. I have tried to limit the file access to system administrator only without succeed. And I haven't found out yet if there can be or have been installed some kind of antivirus or spyware program that detects the Hosts file as a virus file and cause that it is being deleted. a) Has someone experienced this before or any idea to solve it? I saw that C:\cygwin\etc\Hosts was a link to the above Hosts file. Because of the above problem, I replaced the link with the real Hosts file itself. Now I try to create a remote connection from a cygwin/X xterm using the following procedure: startxwin.bat xterm X :2 -query remote_hostname The system reports and exit the command in the xterm as follows. "Fatal server error: Xserver: -query unknown host: remote_hostname" b) Doesn't Cygwin/X read this latter Hosts file? 2. X0.hosts To let queried remote xdm/dtlogin/gdm/kdm get access to the local Cygwin X server, I wonder if the syntax for the content in C:/cygwin/etc/X0.hosts should be "remote_hostname" only or "remote_hostname +", alternatively "remote_host_ip" only or "remote_host_ip +"?

Is focus-on-pointer available in multiwindow mode?
Dear Cygwin/X gurus, I am running Cygwin/X in Multi Window mode on my home machine and Hummingbird Exceed at work. Both seem to work similarly as far as letting the Windows XP Window manager handle the X session. However, Exceed allows me to set the focus on the pointer when I navigate between my X applications while Windows continues to be focus on click. I haven't found a way to do that for Cygwin/X in Multi Window mode. Is it available at all? Thanks, -Stephan

Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
One more thing on this subject... If you absolutely cannot figure out what your IP address is at the far-end of the VPN, then you might want to consider running dxpc. The original intent of dcpx was to compress the amount of data transferred between remote X-clients and a local X-server connected via a low-bandwidth connection. However, it has a feature which allows you to setup the connection if you only know the IP address of the machine your connecting to (and don't know the IP address of the machine you're connecting from, which is effectively the case here). I found a pretty good treatment of dcpx here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=2374 _ Is your PC infected?

Re: Remote logon via XDMCP to Solaris and Linux
On Windows: startxin /usr/X11R6/bin/xhost remote_solaris_host rlogin remote_host setenv DISPLAY local_win_ip xterm& The problem is with the value you set DISPLAY to. You want to use the IP address associated with the far end of the VPN. Figuring out that value isn't always easy. Sometimes you can run "who" at the far end and it will tell you the hostname or IP address it thinks you're connecting from. Also, sometimes the VPN software itself will tell you the far-end IP address if you look at the detailed log as it's bringing up the VPN. _ Dont just search. Find.

Harold added it to try and let applications that need pseudocolor to work, but he also knew about the color problems. So it's nothing new that it doesn't work properly. Now, in the CVS in the trunk there are some new files called xc/programs/Xserver/fb/fbpseudocolor.[ch] which is meant to add support for pseudocolor emulation, but executing the wrapper function xxSetup(...) with the appropriate arguments. Egbert Eich wrote this code, so he may be able to shed some more light on it's usage pattern, but this is the way to go to fix the support for Cygwin/X. Alan.

All drawing and conversion between the visuals should be handled in the shadow layer. The shadow layer provides all the X11 drawing operation and creates a bitmap we can use for copying to screen. I'm nost sure if it is possible to let the shadow layer do all color transformations and use the same shadowbuffer. I remember Harold Hunt told something about using the XRandR extension to emulate the pseudo color visual, but this is currently not an active field. > why not > allocate another 8bpp bitmap DIB(is this possible?) or in system ram? and > then do some color conversion and blit between that and screen bitmap?

Maybe the Xserver is doing the right thing but fails only in a few functions. You told you have output from that window and only a few areas are black? Try starting there. Maybe it's only the line drawing code which has problems. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Cygwin/X developement: -EMULATEPSEUDO
Hey! I started to try out Cygwin/X to remotely use a Solaris app, however, the app uses 8bpp Pseudocolor visual which is only supported in Cygwin/X when running the windows desktop in 8bpp aswell or fullscreen, ie. the app works just fine in these two cases. However I can't use any of these options and therefor need to get the -emulatepseudo option to work. I've got the option to compile into XWin but my problem still remains, menys and certain areas are fine but parts that are suppose to be white and have lines, rectangles etc.. drawn into them are black. >From what I've worked out from looking at the sources the -emulatepseudo option does setup a 8bpp pseudocolor visual aswell as a normal truecolor visual, but how can i verify that my app draws into the pseudocolor visual, does the app supply the correct visual ID to my Xserver? I've also tried telling XWin to use PseudoColor visual as default visual id by supplying the -cc option. (-cc 0x27 or -cc 27) but it is ignored. One thing i haven't figured out yet is with ShadowGDI, it allocates one screen and one shadow bitmap and blits changes between the shadow and screen bitmap, also I assume that the truecolor visual somehow points to the shadow bitmap, but where does the pseudocolor visual point to? shadow bitmap aswell? why not allocate another 8bpp bitmap DIB(is this possible?) or in system ram? and then do some color conversion and blit between that and screen bitmap? I've got lots of payed time to work on this problem so any pointers / tips from other developers where to start / where the problems are etc... are greatly appreciated. Cheers, Sebastian Haby
