Serial Port (FTDI driver) for Cygwin?
I have an USB-serial device connected to a Windows XP PC that shows up as COM7 under Windows and works fine. But with the same hardware combination I looked in Cygwin under /dev/ and did not see a COM7 item. Am I missing a driver? Please help!

1.7.8: files exist but can not be read
LS, on 1.7.8 files the contents of a file on a netapp share can not be read by all programs. The attached files 176.txt and 178.txt are the outputs of script file.sh on 1.7.6 and on the 20101118 snapshot. On both 176.txt and 178.txt a file can be created, and its contents listed with the cat command. However on 176.txt the file command correctly reports "ASCII text", on 178.txt it reports "empty". I came across this with C-header files stored on this share. The preprocessor finds the header files, but won't read the contents. It will for instance report missing prototypes. The file command seems to reproduce this issue.

No. The installation in C:\cygwin is newer than the one in D:\cygwin-1.7; it's just a small installation that I sometimes use for testing purposes, and it doesn't even have cygrunsrv installed. In any case, that wouldn't explain why reverting to the 09-12 snapshot fixes the problem. Are you sure there's nothing in the 09-17 Changelog that could account for this? There do seem to be some network-related changes, though I don't claim to understand them: * path.cc (symlink_info::check_reparse_point): Add comment. (symlink_info::check): Fetch FileNetworkOpenInformation rather than FileBasicInformation throughout, except on NFS. Explain why. Store FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION in conv_hdl. Remove FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY attribute in conv_hdl for reparse point symlinks. * path.h (class path_conv_handle): Add FILE_NETWORK_OPEN_INFORMATION member _fnoi. (path_conv_handle::fnoi): New accessor method for _fnoi. (path_conv::fnoi): New accessor method for cubv_hdl._fnoi.

Cygwin X and F10
I'm using Cygwin X server on a Windows XP machine to access a remote debugger running on Lucid. Everything is fine except that I can't pass Shift-F10 for single stepping; I can pass other combination like Shift-F11, F9 etc. though. I experimented with gnome-terminal, where pressing Shift-F10 on the host machine pops up the context menu.
