GLX
Dear All, I have an application that sits on an SGI machine which I access via xfree86 on cygwin. When I try and open the application, I get a message telling me that extension GLX is missing. I have cygwin's OpenGL installed but I am guessing that the GLX extension is not part of this distribution. Is there a GLX extension for cygwin? If not, does anyone know of an X-windows environment for Microsoft Windows which supports GLX? Thank you for any advice you can give!

Re: GLX
Ed, This problem has been discussed before. Search the mailing list archives through the link on the left of http://xfree86.cygwin.com/. I believe the problem is that SGI's GLX is unique in flavor.

Please check that it does so on your machine too. Alan.
RE: Script for use with linux font server and xsetroot
Hi The cygwin tools include the gnu sleep command, to save some effort :) (in sh-utils package in base) Woops I'd forgoten about the rest of Cygwin. I just use Xwin on its own on XP to remote access Linux boxes! http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-02/msg00073.html http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-02/msg00074.html Colin
xhost +IP?
I'm trying to get a telnet connection to a remote computer working. Its an isolated LAN, and I need all the performance I can get, otherwise I'd be using ssh -X (which works). I can't get xhost +192.0.3.242 to work: $ xhost 192.0.3.242 192.0.3.242 being added to access control list $ xhost access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect INET:odin INET:odin INET:odin LOCAL: -- And 192.0.3.242 still can't connect. If I type xterm on 192.0.3.242, I get: Xlib: connection to 192.0.3.2:0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm.real Xt error: Can't open display: 192.0.3.2:0.0 This is with an Xwin I downloaded yesterday. Any ideas? TIA, Thor Johnson
RE: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Thanks all. I finally solved the mystery. It could be that I might have an old xterm and there is wrong setting in my .Xdefaults that I set termName to vt100. Cheers.

Re: CPU Usage 100% XWin - 'System'
Tino, Yes, the CPU usage is normal. XWin draws graphics using the CPU (it is not accelerated by the video card) and we then transfer blocks of our bitmap representing the screen to the screen, so XWin tends to take a lot of clock cycles compared to Exceed. Exceed draws graphics using GDI, which offloads most of the work to the graphics chip for the vast majority of video drivers. However, XWin runs just fine on most modern machines. I run it on a Pentium III 500 MHz most of the time and I have run it on a Pentium 233 MMX without any problems. If your machine is faster than a Pentium 233 MMX, then I suspect that you have a problem with your video driver. See, your video driver can accelerate 'bit block transfers' (blits), which takes a large load off the CPU and gives XWin a speed boost. Buggy, beta, or non feature-complete video drivers may not adequately accelerate blits and may cause XWin to use an excessive amount of CPU time on your machine. Try finding a better video driver, or switch your video card to one that has newer drivers. Additionally, AGP video cards will be faster at blits than PCI video cards. If your machine is just ancient then I don't think we can help :) Please respond to the mailing list with a description of your hardware. I am interested to know what you have got XWin running on. Harold Tino Lange wrote: Hi! Today I tried installing and using Cygwin XFree86 to connect to my Linux box with KDE via XDMCP. Great work, I could manage to set all up in just a few moments! Thanks a lot! But I realized that it's really a big task for my PC, with Exceed (old, v 6.02) I had about 8 MB Memory Usage and just a few CPU cycles. Now XWin uses 10 MB, that's OK. But the overall CPU usage goes up to 100%! Interesting - it's not XWin.exe that uses that much of my CPU, it's 'System' (PID 8), i. e. the Windows 2000 Generic System process. System (using 216 kB) and Xwin are on the top of the list, toggling, together consuming 100%. If I stop XWin then everything will drop to the usual some percent again. Is that normal? That much of CPU usage? I'm using the lastet XFree86 with Cygwin 1.3.20 on Windows 2000, on request I'll post cygcheck.out, if you like to have one for more information. I connect to a Linux box (SuSE 7.1) with KDE 2.2.2. Thanks a lot! Best regards Tino
Re: Font error running app using XDMCP/XWin.exe to Solaris 9 host
Has anyone connected to a Solaris-9 machine from cygwin/XFree86 on a W2K machine using the following method/command batch file? start XWin -query host1 -fp tcp/host1:7100 This works but seems to mung up the CDE window that appears between the display of the Solaris login box and the display of the CDE session window. (The one that advertises Post Script in the lower right-hand corner, the word PostScript is mangled) just prior to popping up the CDE session manager. Here the sequence: 1-Solaris-9 login box is displayed 2-A mostly blank large window indicating which version of CDE is running (upper left-hand corner) and a little picture advertising postscript (in the lower right-hand corner-PostScript is mangled, and unreadable) 3-The CDE session manager window with all the icon and tool bar and what-not.

Re: tablet PC input to XFree86?
JQ, You have tried it with the -multiwindow command-line parameter (be sure to remove any window manager from your startup script, such as twm, etc.), right? I am sure that if you mailed me one of these devices I could figure it out for you :) Harold JQ Johnson wrote: Has anyone looked into issues of non-standard (Tablet PC) input for XFree86? Windows XP Tablet Edition, for instance, has a rather nicely integrated voice and handwriting input system that simulates keyboard input. Not surprisingly, it doesn't work with X applications: I can run an X application such as xterm on my tablet PC and give it input using my pen by tapping on the Tablet PC Input Panel using the onscreen virtual keyboard, but I can not provide input using the writing pad or voice recognition. The pen works adequately as a mouse, though having a pen that emulates a 2-button mouse that emulates a 3-button mouse is interesting.

xterm.exe not reading XTerm file in app-defaults
I think i have run in to a similiar problem with XTerm not reading the app-defaults file. I've deleted the cygwin directory and reinstalled it several times, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't load up the XTerm defaults file. I then noticed that in the directory: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/ there is a simlink 'app-defaults' that somtimes points to the /etc/X11/app-defaults/ directory, and sometimes it just points to /etc/X11/ if you remake the simlink to /etc/X11/app-defaults/ it seems to load the XTerm file then.
