xwinclip not working with xdm
Hi, When I run xdm to an AIX box (either with -clipboard or xwinclip standalone) I'm unable to select text to copy. The highlight won't stick after selecting the text, but it copy parts of the text. However on Solaris, I can select the text, but this doesn't get copied to the clipboard. Here's the command I tried: xwin -ac -query aix334 -from win123 -clipboard Does anyone else get this problem? I'm using the XWin Test version 78. Thanks, JS. _ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://messenger.msn.co.uk

Maybe the X server under cygwin or RH does not by default create the visual expected by the application.

ITIYM 'the Motif window manager'. That indeed is not a problem with Exceed, which *does* honor the WM properties used by the Motif shell widgets, and *is* likely to be a problem with RH, at least when using KDE, because the KDW window manager does not honor some of these properties. Eg a window supposed to be fixed-size with MWM will have effective resize handles with KDM. I have not yet found a way to deal with that specific issue even for applications of which I do have the source code! One problem has been that I have not yet found any Xt-based application that *is* non-resizeable under KDE. Ideas, anyone? I have not yet tried our Motif apps under a recent Cygwin so I cant say anything about cygwin. > > My questions are: > 1. If the XFree86 module is loaded does this mean that glx is also loaded? > 2.

xtrs 4.9 hanging in cygwin-xfree
Hello, I am trying to run xtrs 4.9 (http://www.tim-mann.org/xtrs.html) on the latest (as of March 4) cygwin/XFree86 distribution. xtrs launches and presents its initial display but then seems to hang (no response to keyboard input, etc.) xtrs on Linux is running without problems. I know nothing about X application development, but I have built xtrs in debug mode and can fumble my way through gdb if somebody would through me a few pointers of where I can get more pertinent info to help resolve this. Thanks. dc

Re: xmesa header file
Thanks for the response. Yes I do have the XFree86-prog package but I still cannot find xmesa.h . I do see osmesa.h in the directory where xmesa.h is called, I am not sure if this is the cygwin version of xmesa.

Re: script for remote window?
As for figuring out whether or not XWin is already running, it's as easy as "ps -ef | grep XWin". For instance, the following "scriplet" will tell you whether XWin is running... if [ "`ps -ef | grep XWin`" == "" ] then echo "XWin is not running." else echo "XWin is running." fi From: "Thomas Chadwick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: script for remote window?

Re: xmesa header file
Hi! Just a thought, shouldn't xmesa be in the opengl lib or something similar? Or am I into it wrong Harold?

InsightII application problems
Hi I have an molecular modelling application developed by Accelrys called insightII which runs on an SGI. I would like to view it remotely on a PC using the X Windows System. I have tested it using eXceed 3D (MS Windows remote X Windows package) and it seems to function properly but when I use either cygwin or Redhat Linux it gives me an error "Couldn't get initial visual in app_init_display" where app_init_display is an application function. >From what I can see it uses Opengl and the glx libraries but the application might also require Motif. My questions are: 1. If the XFree86 module is loaded does this mean that glx is also loaded? 2. Is the Motif environment emulated? 3. What are the strategies to get to the nub of the problem? Regards Uli
