Using objdump on .obj files?

Re: multiple windows
H... Are you running a window manager? It sounds like you are not. Try running twm (Tiny Window Manager) before you run anything else. There are lots of other window managers out there, but twm is packaged with the XFree86 cygwin package.

SSH Tunneling and TCP_NODELAY
Hi all, I am using SSH port forwarding on a linux sshd from the Cygwin ssh. Both sides have version OpenSSH 3.4p1. There is no problem with my tunneling, as I have been using many (about 10) port forwards (server and local) for quite some time now. A new application has been introduced to my mix that uses the network to send control messages at about 30 times per second. These messages are small (4-12 bytes), but sent at a frequent rate. If port forwarding is NOT used, the control stream is working well. BUT, if I send the control string through the SSH tunnel, it gets sent as bursts... for example, the receiving application wukk get no data for 5 frames, and the 6th frame will get all 6 frames. This makes for a jerky control of the software. My control program has TCP_NODELAY set in it's ouput socket which is why it works properly. I _thought_ that openssh starting at version 3.1 had TCP_NODELAY set on it's forwarded ports (my debug outputs tell me so). None the less, the bursting (which I believe is a cacheing at some point) still happens. My question: Is there something about the Cygwin version of SSH where TCP_NODELAY doesnt work properly, or it is a stub function? Can anyone think of a reason this is happening?

Well, more like It works fine when ssh is not in the loop, but I have a suspicion that it has to do with the OpenSSH port in Cygwin. It is hard to tell at this time...

Re: Integrating xwinclip support
man XSetIOErrorHandler: The XSetIOErrorHandler sets the fatal I/O error handler. Xlib calls the program's supplied error handler if any sort of system call error occurs (for example, the connec tion to the server was lost). This is assumed to be a fatal condition, and the called routine should not return. If the I/O error handler does return, the client process exits. To avoid the return you might return via setjmp/longjmp back to the startup code (and maybe sleep a while before doing so) I am not sure that would be the best programming practice... (I could be wrong) Wont that leave the IOErrorHandler function call still on the stack, causing problems on multiple restarts of the server? Or does that setjmp/longjmp change the address of the return completely? Will that leave other calls on the stack? If I am wrong on this, could you explain this practice please?

Re: xwinclip authorisation problem with remote hosts using XDMCP

Execute XWin :0 -query some.host.system. Initially, the authorisation file contains no records, so the localhost has access to the X server by default. I quote from the Xserver man page: If this file contains any authorization records, the local host is not automatically allowed access to the server, and only clients which send one of the authorization records contained in the file in the connection setup information will be allowed access. 2. XDMCP is used to query some.host.system, which then opens a connection to the local PC. The first thing done is that XDMCP adds an auth record for some.host.system This means that localhost loses access to the X server. 3. After XWin starts, xwinclip executes on the local host. It fails with the error message: Could not open display Ok, so I added an xhost command, to explicitly allow access: xhost +127.0.0.1 I failed with the error messages: Xlib: connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server I read some more about host access, and I created a /etc/X0.hosts file, and I deleted the .Xauthority file. This caused a different error. XWin failed with the message: X connection to 127.0.0.1:3.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). I tried running XWin with the '-ac' command line parameter. This is meant to open access to all hosts. Xwinclip still couldn't open the display. If XWin is used with a local window manager, this xwinclip (and any other client program which runs on the PC) will run sucessfully.

Yes, but did you try it anyways? Most Linux distributions set XDMCP up as default when it sets up X. I would simply try it, before you worry about setting it up on the Linux system.

Re: briangenisio@yahoo.com
Yeah, with 100ms - 350ms, I know for a fact that Netscape is very slow. I am not sure if you know much about the X protocol, but a simple X program, such as xterm will send about 20 protocol messages out... Many of the X protocol messages are roundtrip and serial... Because of this, if you have (pseudo)code that does something like this : OpenDisplay CreateWindow GetGC GetFont Then you have AT_LEAST 4 round trip messages, assuming 1 message per call. (This is very often not the case) With low latency, this is not a problem, but let's assume a latency of 250ms. 4 round-trip messages will take 1 second!!! This is huge. Netscape, unfortuanately, is nowhere near a simple application. I have done some playing (using xmond), and found that Netscape makes tens of thousands of X protocol calls. Of course, not all of them are round trip, but the ones that are will hurt :( You can do the math... It could take close to forever for Netscape to come up... and when it does, it will be so painful to use, that it wont be worth it. You might find a more efficient browser... lnyx, (like you mentioned) would be one. You might also try dillo (dillo.sourceforge.net) It is a very simple browser that will be much more effiecient to use over a latency such as that. If dillo is not enough for you (It might not be), I know that Opera (Opera.com) boasts to be the fastest Web browser on earth... so we would hope that it has some more streamlined X communication, but I cant say for sure.

Re: briangenisio@yahoo.com
Yeah... I didnt know for sure which ones did, and which ones didnt cause round trip... I was simply giving examples Regardless, there are PLENTY of round-trip messages in Netscape. (xmond will show them.) Pixmaps cause high net traffic, but arent effected as much by latency as they are bandwidth. A DSL Cable modem usually doesnt have a problem with the pixmap transfer... Unless there is a lot of pixmap transfer, such as annimation. Still, it is a straight push, and latency matters much less in these cases. I have written applications that were able to load large pixmaps quickly across DSL or Cablemodem, but have also written programs with too many XSync calls (roundtrip wrapper that uses GetInputFocus), causing them to be unusable over Cable or DSL... It all depends if the designer cared about round-trip or not. Almost all Motif widgets use XSync calls, as well as calls that are not streamlined for latency. I would make a gross assumption that Netscape uses Motif, or other widget sets that are probably not extremely efficient. A possible help to the problem might be ssh X compression. It does a bit for pixmap transfer. LBX also can help a little on latency... There is a plain old X compressor out there as well... but I cant remember the name.

Re: After upgrading last night, Xfree no longer works.
Well, if extract.exe is also crashing (Still dont know what crashing means), I assume your cygwin install is having some problems. I updated to the most recent dll 3 hours ago, and it all works for me, with the most recent version of extract.exe. If your cygwin install is having some problems, it is very easy to re-install it. Simply move your directory to a different name for a temporary backup, and re-install the cygwin binaries. Thats all I can say with what little I know about your problem.

Have you downloaded the most recent versions of the XFree binaries? When you say it doesnt work, what do you mean? Does it start, and when you connect an app, it dies? Does it Segfault? What does it do? I would recommend the most recent Xfree binaries. As a followup, I cannot upgrade due to the extract.exe that I unbzip2'd crashes as well. Do I have to uninstall cygwin and reinstall to get a working XFree? Kent -- 'My Fellow Americans, Let's Roll' -- President George W. Bush __ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo!
