Problem with other window managers
Hi, I'm unable to start any other window manager (twm, wmaker) with XWin 6.7.0.0-3, only the -multiwindow works. Is this a problem of whether to use 'run' or 'start /B' for starting XWin or the manager? Thanks, Tuli ..

Re: Problem with other window managers
Hi, Is this a problem of whether to use 'run' or 'start /B' for starting XWin or the manager? Yes, if XWin is started with 'start /B', then at least wmaker works. BTW, this problem exists also with 6.7.0.0-4. Cheers, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63: xterm problem
Hi, I noticed that the handling of xterms is not working correctly with WindowMaker. When I iconize the first xterm window, I cannot easily get it back anymore (I have to switch between workspaces, and sometines even that doesn't work). This problem arrived with 4.3.0-63, it didn't exist in 4.3.0-62. Cheers, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Re: Pathnames for X server app-defaults etc.
Hi, I've had similar problems. I noticed that the problems existed due to lack of permissions. When I set permissions (on the Windows side) as Full Control to Everyone, the deletion of old installation and the re-installation of new version worked. It seems that permissions of the C:\cygwin directory (the install directory) should be set as Full Control to Everyone. Otherwise it is easy to get problems on re-installation. Cheers, Tuli ..

setup.exe copies files to wrong place
Hello, setup.exe seems to copy some files, e.g. font files, to a wrong drive. For example, if setup.exe is located (and run) at D:\cygwin_install directory and the target directory is C:\cygwin, then setup.exe copies lots of stuff to D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\... It would seem that somewhere the target root is set to \cygwin instead of C:\cygwin ? Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Emacs menus act strangely
Hi, I just installed all new packages of X. Now when I start emacs from xterm's menu, and try to click a menu from newly started emacs, the menu pops up away from its usual place and doesn't work.

Re: setup.exe copies files to wrong place
Hi Harold, and thanks for the fast response. All I admit is that I don't remember whether I installed it on D drive also ... ;) But it is a good idea that setup.exe would warn if user is doing something which seems to be wrong. Cheers, Tuli ..

Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll
Hi Harold, I couldn't use setup.exe for downloading your libungif-4.1.0-3, but took it manually instead. It seems to fix this problem. Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50
Hi, the tip helped. I just added line ForwardX11Trusted yes to the ssh_config file. This fixed also the other problem of Alt Gr not working. However, the FAQ 5.1 seems to be slightly out of sync with the setup.exe, since file ssh_config resides in /etc after setup, not in /etc/ssh as in FAQ.

Re: Alt-Gr not working with emacs?
Hi, the problem seems to be OpenSSH 3.8 related. See also Re: Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 today at 9:00.

OpenSSH configuration and many recent problems
Hi all, just wanted you to know, that OpenSSH 3.8 configuration seems to be the reason for some of the recent problems presented here (e.g. AltGr not working, emacs crash). I've had those problems, too. Takuma Murakami suggested that I checked my OpenSSH configuration. When I added ForwardX11Trusted yes to /etc/ssh_config, all my problems went away. It also seems that setup.exe is currently not delivering all required library files, so sometimes just getting all XFree86 files may solve the problem. As far as I know, Harold and others are fortunately working on this. Cheers, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Alt Gr key beeps!
Hi, I still have a small but annoying problem with the Alt Gr key. When using emacs on Solaris 8, every hit on the Alt Gr key produces also a beep sound. Otherwise it works ok. Funny enough, the beep comes only on Solaris 8, but not with any Linux box. I'm using XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50, and using -xkblayout option and -xkbvariant nodeadkeys. If it helps anything, the describe-key command on Solaris emacs for the Alt Gr key says: key-3 is undefined (and it doesn't beep then!). The Solaris 'xev' output of pressing the Alt Gr key is below: KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 33292101, (-490,220), root:(599,243), state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe1, root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 33292201, (-490,220), root:(599,243), state 0x80, keycode 113 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: Any suggestions? Anything to do with OpenSSH 3.8 configuration? Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Re: OpenSSH configuration and many recent problems
Hi, I agree, security is very important, and security settings should be towards safer operation. The question still is, why does the ForwardX11Trusted setting affect to normal keyboard operation anyway? Cheers, Tuli Corinna Vinschen wrote: I'm not actually keen to change another default setting of OpenSSH to an unsafe setting on Cygwin by default.

WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll
Hi all, I had problems with a fresh setup (today with all the newest packages with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 and all). WindowMaker will not start, since it cannot find libX11.dll. And really, this file does not exist after setup.exe. From some older discussion I found that copying cygX11-6.dll to libX11.dll fixes the problem, and it did. Does this mean that WindowMaker package is just out of date? Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Re: WindowMaker does not find libX11.dll
Hi Harold, thanks for finding it out. However, I also noticed two other problems. 1) Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris and Linux) have crashing problems with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just by clicking on the emacs windows repeatedly for some seconds, maybe moving the mouse a bit at the same time. 2) The Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all with emacs/xemacs. However, it works with xterm. Once again, this problem didn't occur with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44. Maybe these two problems are also a result of some outdated library? Tuli --- From: Harold L Hunt II These lines are of interest: C:\cygwin\bin\cygungif-4.dll C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\libX11.dll This means that the linungif package was built against the old 4.2.0 X libraries (it hasn't been rebuilt since 2002) and needs to be rebuilt soon since those libraries are going to be pulled with the next release. I will see what I can do about this. Harold .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Emacs crashing with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50
Hi, as Harold adviced, I'll make a new problem thread: Emacs and xemacs (as started on Solaris or Linux) experience crashing problems with the new XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. With XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 this problem did not exist. The crashing can easily be reproduced just by clicking on the emacs windows repeatedly for some seconds, maybe moving the mouse a bit at the same time. Maybe the problem could be a some outdated supporting library? Thanks, Tuli .. MTV3 Laajakaista - Hauskemman elämän puolesta. http://www.mtv3.fi/liittyma/hankinta/laajakaista/
Alt-Gr not working with emacs?
Hi all, the Alt Gr button on my european keyboard does not seem to work at all with Solaris or Linux emacs/xemacs on XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50. For example, pressing AltGr-4 should produce the dollar sign on my keyboard, but only number 4 comes actually out. However, the button works with xterm. This problem didn't occur with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44. Could some outdated supporting library cause this? Thanks, Tuli ..

Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22
Hi all, and thanks for the ideas. Actually, I previously had problems with extraneous newlines from keyboard and somebody suggested 'xset r off', which was still there in my startup script. It didn't bother me with 4.3.0-21 but disabled the repeat with 4.3.0-22. Now I just removed xset from my startup, and repeat works OK. Well, I still sometimes get extraneous newlines also with 4.3.0-22, but fortunately not so much. Cheers, Tuli keyboard repeat does not work anymore with this new update. I think it worked with the previous (4.3.0-21) release. Any ideas? The command 'xset r on' should enable auto-repeat on the X Window layer. xset can set auto-repeat parameters in detail (please see 'man xset').

Re: Updated: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-22
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Xinput. I have used cygwin as-is, i.e. not deliberately disabling any of the cygwin features :-) How can I enable it? Thanks, Tuli Yeah, this release discards repeats that come from Windows. It now relies on the Xinput layer to do the repeating. Are you disabling Xinput? I hope I have that terminology right... it might not be called Xinput. Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, keyboard repeat does not work anymore with this new update.

ssh hangs with solaris 8 again
Hi all,
I found that writing 'run' in front of xterm command in file .XWinrc seems to solve
the Solaris 8 hanging problem:
menu root {
// for an unknown reason, solaris needs 'run' in the beginning of the
command...
solaris exec run xterm -sb -e ssh -X solarisbox
//...etc...
}
Does anyone have any idea why? For Linux machines, 'run' is not needed.
Thanks,
Tuli

ssh hangs with solaris 8
Hi, I have a problem with establishing an ssl connection to solaris 8. From a local xterm window, command xterm -sb -rightbar -e ssh -X solarisbox just hangs after accepting the password and giving the usual warning about fake authentication data. Strange is that this problem occurs with -multiwindow mode, but not with WindowManager! Can anyone help?
