Re: x-windows opening up too large
Thanks Thomas, I'll try your ideas out tomorrow when I goto work but I just wanted to say that the geometry flag is fine for the main application window running, it's the windows that pop up from that which I don't seem to have any control over. But running the window manager on the remote machine sounds like a good idea - I'll give that a go, but surely that will be slower won't it? > >Usage of the -geometry flag looks like the following: > >xterm -geometry 80x35+100+100 > >This creates an xterm which is 80 columns wide and 35 rows tall positioned >100 pixels down from the top edge and 100 in from the left edge of the >screen. > >One thing you can do is manually size and position the client window the >way you like it, then run "xwininfo".

How to disable mouse wheel (buttons)
Hi everybody I am trying to disable a mouse wheel under cygwin/xfree and can't find anything anywhere on how to do that. Basically, the wheel acts like buttons 2, 4, and 5. Scrolling the wheel is translated into buttons 4 and 5, and that crashes one of my applications. I would like to simply disable that under cygwin/xfree and keep it elsewhere (under Windows). However, there seem to be no file XF86config anywhere which could be used to set the number of buttons to 3. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Regards, Konstantin Kudin

just hacked this out... it isn't ideal and requires... modification of
the source...
it's based off an old x example xxterm.c, which was in the kdevelop examples
modify the machines at the beginning to your network
gcc -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -o sxterm sxterm.c -lX11
./xsterm
it has 2 arguments, username and remote_command
if you want to run things w/ 2 different usernames you might fix it..
or run xsterm twice :)
oh my
command line parsing is badness, and if you want to use option 2, you
should also provide option 1
ie this works for me
xsterm matt /usr/X11R6/bin/xeyes

some question
hi, all I am trying to use cygwin/xfree and have some question: 1) It seems that xhost doesn't persist save the result. While I set up some access control, It seems the setting is not effective when X server start up next time. Is it so? 2) While I use xwin -broadcast to start a broadcast XDMCP session, there is no server list pop up, xwin dirrectly connect to a sco unixware server, why is it so? If I use other X server, there are a list of servers. thanks, PanTao
Re: How to disable mouse wheel (buttons)
Konstantin, Congratulations, you are the first person to ever request that the mouse wheel support be turned off. :) We have not yet had a request for such a feature. I will add this to the to-do list. Jehan, you want to work on this one? Harold Konstantin N.

Re: mozilla/netscape die when on a shockwave enabled web site
Dean I have the same problem. It occurs using both cygwin/XFree86 and Linux/XFree86 to access the server. This indicates that it's either a problem inherent to XFree86 (not just the cygwin port) or more likely is a Mozilla/Netscape/Shockwave problem. Either way, it's really anoying and I hope someone tracks it down and fixes it.

startxwin.bat and PATH
Hi list, I want to launch X at startup on my WIN NT station at work because I use many unix machines. This way I set a windows shortcut to startxwin.bat and the server starts. But PATH isn't set correct, as startxwin.bat only defines /usr/X11R6/bin and /bin (and normal windows %PATH%) I suggest this (changed this on my machine whithout problems): add "-i -l" to the xterm line to set the shell interactive and login shell. REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell. run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -i -l ___ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
