Re: Can't type in login window via XDMCP
Harold, Jae, I am not sure I understand your problem. You are, of course, clicking in the text boxes where you type the user name and password, right? What sort of OS is the remote machine running? Yes, I'm clicking in the boxes. As I said, the remote system is running RedHat ES (Enterprise Server) 2.1, analogous to approx RH 8.0 I think. My system is running WXP_SP1. You're right in that the WaitFor.c wasn't the problem. Here's the problem. I start X by running: xwin -query server I get the XDMCP login. I can operate all controls with the mouse, but nothing shows in the login or password windows when I type. However, when I hit the capslock key, the login box tells me I have it pressed. I may try wiping things out and starting over. It sounds to me like there's a conflict in versions somewhere, but how to tell? Thanks -- Jae Ellers Tektronix, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can't type in login window via XDMCP
Hi folks, First thanks to all who contribute. Xfree on Cygwin has been great. However, I was seeing 2Gb+ XWin.log files and felt I needed to update. SO I updated today and now I can't login via XDMCP. Here's the command line I use: c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin -query zephyr.mydomain.com -from 192.168.1.4 The system I'm logging into is a RH ES2.1 server. I've been using the same setup for months now. The problem is that I can't type in the login window. Nothing appears. The only thing I can see getting thru is the Caps Lock, which I find very strange. Even if I start xwin and then twm and an xterm I can't type in the xterm. I do see a message in /tmp/XWin.log: (EE) Unable to locate/open config file InitOutput - Error reading config file Do I need a config file? I haven't used one before. I found this message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00303.html and tested http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/devel/server/XWin-4.3.0-20-Test01.exe.bz2 and I can login. So it looks like the problem is in the new WaitFor.c code. Now I'm hung at a blank screen, though. Any help would be appreciated. I'm hosed for the time being. Thanks -- Jae Ellers Tektronix, Inc.
