buttons moved inside the frame
I'm running an application on Cygwin-XFree86 which has 2 frames inside a window. The problem is the buttons which did sit below the window frames have now moved into the frame. Someone suggested it might be a problem with the fonts but I'm not too sure how to check this (or whether I'm barking up the wrong tree as well!). Would appreciate any help.

strange e key
Everytime I press the e key on my keyboard in XFree86 I get the following character: ยค instead of an e. All the other keys are fine though. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks, JS. _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Yes, the code for xkb support is mainly done, but I still need some time to cleanup the code. Please check the mailing list, there were a lot of possiblities for using XKB even without the config file (hint: xkbcomp) bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
xterm title not shown
The title of xterm defined with option -T or -title does not appear in the title bar, instead the current directory is shown there. I do not know whether this is a problem of xterm or the window manager, but it happens both with twm and mwm.
XDMCP Logon to RedHat 7.2
I'm trying to replace my Hummingbird eXceed Win32 X Server with Cygwin/Xfree86. I've gotten all the Cygwin XFree86 Components in place on my W2k box, and I can now run X apps remotely by following the procedure: - Start X Server on W2K - Add remote RedHat box to xhosts - Telnet to remote RedHat box - Configure DISPLAY to point at W2K box - Execute xterm (for instance) That gets me a nice xterm running here on my W2K machine. However, what I'd really like to do is an XDMCP logon to the aforementioned RedHat box, so that I don't have to go through this procedure and I can get the full desktop on the Linux box. When I try the suggestion in the Cygwin/XFree86 user's guide, XWin.exe -query remote_hostname I just get the default X black-and-white checked background like it's waiting for the other machine to respond. I never get the logon screen from the RedHat box. I've also tried variations like using -from my_w2k_ip_address -display 800x600x16 all to no avail (same result). I believe that Xaccess and such are set up correctly on the RedHat machine as I haven't changed anything there since my eXceed worked ok. Can someone please give me a pointer or two? I've tried to exhaust all docs, faq's, etc before posting. Thanks for your help, Andy alemmon at midsouth dot rr dot com
opendx problems...
hi i'm from the university of alabama at birmingham. we need to use opendx with another programm dreamm. but i'm having a few problems while installing opendx. i'm running the software on a intel/windowsxp machine. when i install the program, the shortcuts are created in the start menu as usual. but if try running from there, then the window opens and closes after 2-3 secs. if i try running it from the command prompt then i get the following result: C:\ C:\cd opendx C:\opendxcd bin C:\opendx\bindx -uionly Starting DX user interface error: No such file or directory C:\opendx\bin i need the opendx software for running DReaMM/MCell.

RE: opendx problems...
You need tcsh installed for dx script to work properly. After installing tcsh for Cygwin create a short symbolic link csh in /usr/bin directory. Otherwise modify dx startup script for a bash shell.

Re: XDMCP Logon to RedHat 7.2
Harold, Thanks for your help. I've found the problem. My RedHat machine had been brought down to runlevel 3; I must have done that weeks ago and forgotten, it's in a building half a mile from my office. Anyway, after bringing xdm back up, the XDMCP logon screen appeared immediately.

As you can tell, I have no idea what this program does and I don't really have time to look... It has an X component as well as a curses-base component as well as a printer component and lastly a scripting component. It covers many areas as separate programs (which I was going to package separately). Robert did suggest 'Net', and I'll probably go with that for the non-X components.

No, I haven't looked at debian's site at all (I'm a Slackware user myself :). I've used x3270 for a number of years (through all its various incarnations) and usually pull the source directly from the x3270 website. I've just taken a look at debian's site, and they only have x3270 (not all the other variants). Actually, they have x3270 broken into several parts, for some reason. It's classified as 'X Window System software' which doesn't really help me classify it for Cygwin. I've build all the variants (except tcl3270 - need tcltk-8.3 on Cygwin) under Cygwin and was planning on packaging each separately. Hmmm... I guess I really should go get Paul's permission to package this all up first :) I'd suggest Net as it's a non-web networking tool. Hmmm... Ok. 'Net' it shall be. Thanks Rob! Rob -- Peter A.

Re: Keyboard non us
Hello. This might be a bit off this topic, but just one question: I am currently using xmodmap for my german keyboard. As this is working fine (I got the map from my linux box), I would like to know if there is any SPEED issue when using xmodmap instead of XKB? Regards, Uwe
