Re: Can multiple remote sessions be run simultaneously under v4.2.0?
Hi, Harold It works with two XDM hosts well. But if two and more Xservers run simultaneously what happens with /tmp/XWin.log ? It is emptied every time when Xwin.exe starts.. Best regards, Valeriy Glushkov start /B XWin-works :0 -query host1 start /B XWin-works :1 -query host2 I've tested this and gotten two distinct sessions to one machine (say, host1) at the same time. I don't currently have two XDM hosts, but I'm sure it will work fine with two hosts. Let me know how this works. Harold

This was just an idle question for anyone who'd done this. AFAICT, the applications that you have mentioned must all be built by yourself or acquired elsewhere rather than parts of the standard Cygwin/XFree86 package. cgf
Problem with Solaris
I'm trying to get cygwin/xfree working using XDMCP from Solaris (on sparc), but all I get is a black screen with an egg-timer. It works fine using XDMCP from a Linux host. Using X-Win32 on the same PC works fine to Linux AND Solaris. Under X-Win32, when I first connect I get the black egg-timer window, then almost immediately I get the CDE login prompt. Under cygwin/xfree, I get the black egg timer, but no prompt. The egg-timer follows my mouse around, so there is obviously some X stuff going on, but not quite enough. Any ideas ? Thanks Stuart
Installing extra packages?
I juts tried to install Xf100.tgz on top of an initial xfree installation. The instructions in the Install file supplied with xfree 4.2.0 says to install the fonts by using extract -C /usr/X11R6 Xf100.tgz I tried this and get an error that extract needs more flags. Which flags should I use to install extra packages? Thanks, Lars. -- Lars Jensen, TMCC/Vista B200, 7000 Dandini Blvd, Reno NV 89512-3999.

I believe the included extract in cygwin xfree is gnu tar, so I think: prompt cd /usr/X11R6 prompt tar xvfz Xf100.tgz is one correct way.. /Andy -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty!
can my X-WIN 32 be causing my server shutdown prob?
Hi, I removed 4.2.0 and installed 4.1.0 and I still have the same problems. I have X-WIN 32 installed on my comp and it occurred to me that this could be causing some conflict. Anyone got an idea? TIA Ed __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Movies - coverage of the 74th Academy Awards® http://movies.yahoo.com/
RE: Sound makes cygwin/xfree86 lock up
Tom, I changed xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/winkeybd.c/winKeybdBell() to the following a few weeks ago: /* * We can't use Beep () here because it uses the PC speaker * on NT/2000. MessageBeep (MB_OK) will play the default system * sound on systems with a sound card or it will beep the PC speaker * on systems that do not have a sound card. */ MessageBeep (MB_OK); The previous function called Beep (), which doesn't really work, according to the message that I put in above. You could make the function do nothing and see if that helps. I assume that you know how to compile Cygwin/XFree86 (if not, see the Contributor's Guide). As for XDMCP stability, I and several other people (probably over hundreds) use XDMCP all the time without any stability problems. Is there anything strange about your machine (low RAM, weird NIC (possibly token ring?), or are you running under Windows 95 or have you had lots of software installed and uninstalled on your machine (that can cause DLL mismatches, etc.)). You could always visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and install all updates available (that will take several reboots) to see if that helps. Anyhow, I have to go, Harold -Original Message- From: Tom Bozack [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 11:31 PM To: Perches, Joe Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: Sound makes cygwin/xfree86 lock up I have no insight into how to debug this problem. However, I have notices that it has the appearance of a massive memory leak. Whatever triggers the problem causes system memory to be rapidly used up at which point xfree86 becomes unresponsive. If left in that state xfree86 will sometimes crash with a segmentation fault. I hope someone can figure out how to fix the problem. As it is xfree86 using xdmcp isn't stable enough on my systems for routine use. Tom Perches, Joe wrote: I have an identical problem, and can't figure it out. I've looked through the X code looking for how ctrl-g bells are forwarded, but don't see why it's failing. I've looked round through the xfree 86 code and don't see a particular failure mode. Do either of you have a debugging methodology I should follow to trace down this?
Re: Problem with Solaris
Stuart Are you connecting to a Solaris 2.8 system? I have exactly the same problem on 2.8, but can connect to Solaris systems running 2.6 without any errors.
