Problems installing font
Having recently installed cygwin/XFree, I try to ssh to an HP workstation (asterix) running Mentor Graphics. The program crashes due to a font error. I'm able to run an xterm from the same machine, so X is enabled in ssh. What I need to know is how to procede; what kind of font file should I obtain, how should I install the fonts on my Cygwin system?

XWin and -multiplemonitors works once, but not twice?
When I run XWin with the following: start /B XWin -engine 1 -nowinkill -multiplemonitors -nodecoration -rootless -clipboard It does open and span both my monitors. If I close XWin and start it again, however, it only displays on the first monitor. The log file claims that both monitors are not running at the same resolution/bit depth. This is untrue. Any ideas why this might be happening? Thanks!

Alt-Esc works, why can't we pass Alt-Tab to the WM?
I've noticed numerous threads regarding the use of Alt-Tab switching in XFree86... to summarize, people say that passing Alt-Tab through to the WM would result in users not being able to get back to windows from full-screen mode. However, both Alt-Esc and Ctrl-Esc will bring you back into the windows interface. So I don't see why Alt-Tab being OPTIONALLY disabled is an issue. Could someone please enlighten me?
Re: Problems installing font
Borge, I have Mentor Graphics Design Architect running under Cygwin/Xfree86 after installing the Mentor fonts. I hope this tutorial will help you and others get up and running. I may have some typos in the commands, so watch out, but it should be accurate enough for you to get the idea of what needs to be done. First you have to extract the Mentor fonts from the Mentor installation on your Unix/Linux system. The instructions below roughly follow the instructions provided in the following URL: http://.hummingbird.com/exceedusers/Jan1999/0031.html Run the Mentor font extraction tool: mkdir /tmp/Mentor $MGC_HOME/bin/mgc_font_collect -v -p /tmp/Mentor cd /tmp tar -zcvf mentor_fonts.tgz Mentor Now, transfer the mentor_fonts.tgz file to /tmp your Cygwin machine, and install the fonts into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Mentor: cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts tar -zxvf /tmp/mentor_fonts.tgz Next, create compressed PCF fonts and build a fonts.dir font database for the Mentor directory: cd Mentor gzip * mkfontdir . Now all you need to do is add the new Mentor font directory path at the end your font path: xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Mentor This needs to be done once each time your run the Xfree server - I haven't yet figured out how to make the new font path permanent. I need to research XF86Config a little better, but it appears Xfree86 does not use XF86Config. It's handled differently under Windows than Linux. Manybe someone can offer some tips. Now, run your Mentor tool from your remote host, and watch it pop up with the correct icons! Once you have installed the Mentor fonts on one Cygwin/Xfree machine, you can simply archive the Mentor fonts directory and unarchive them on other machines you want to install: tar -zcvf /tmp/mentor_xfree_fonts.tgz /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Mentor tar -zxvf /tmp/mentor_xfree_fonts.tgz -C / Don't forget to xset the font path! Here's another resource I fount very helpful: http://xfree86.org/4.2.0/fonts2.html#2 Happy designing! Regards, Tim
Seg Fault when I try to run OTB with XFree
I posed this problem to a OTB mailing list to no avail, so maybe somebody here can help. I recently installed Cygwin and XFree86 in an attempt to get OneSAF Testbed (OTB) running.

XWin on non-system partition
Thanks in advance for any help. I had the bright idea to dedicate a whole partition to Cygwin (D:\usr, D:bin etc.). Now XWin refuses to run. I initially assumed I was missing something simple like setting an environment variable, and posted to the main cygwin group. I have since come to believe this is an X problem after all and will add a post here. It seems that during my cygwin installation everything was installed in D: (D:\usr, D:\bin etc), except for usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts. which was instead installed as C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts . When I restore the latter XWin will run however it refuses to do so if C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts does not exist. I did add the font directory to D:\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\, but it did not make a difference. Am I creating more trouble than it is worth by installing in D:\ rather than C:\cygwin?
Re: XWin on non-system partition
Gerald, Personally, I would have put Cygwin in d:\cygwin, not d:\... but that is a personal choice. Using d:\cygwin means that you won't have to modify startxwin.bat, if that is your startup method of choice. Your problem with the fonts directory is due to an explicit binary-mode mount that we use for the fonts directory. Your previous installation of Cygwin/XFree86 left over this mount point that points at c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\. You can use 'umount' and 'mount' to remove this mount and recreate it, or you can use 'regedit' to manually edit the mount point, which may be easier for you... but I am not about to describe how to do it (only chose this option if you feel you can handle it).

On Wed, 2 Jul 2003, Harold L Hunt II wrote: There is the possibility that Alt+Tab can only be trapped on NT-based OSes, but that isn't much more to worry about. Harold, Win98, at least, has a Misc tab in shortcut properties, that lists Windows shortcut keys to ignore (let the application handle). Alt-Tab is one of them. Thus, you could instruct the users set up a shortcut to XWin.exe and let it handle Alt-Tab, even if XWin.exe can't capture it itself. Igor P.S. I'm not sure Win95/ME have this feature.

Re: CYGWIN_ROOT Question -- Attn: XFree86-fnts maintainer
Gerald, Well, this is not a bug in setup.exe, but it looks like a bug in the postinstall scripts for the XFree86-f??? packages. Basically, the scripts re-mount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to force a binary mount. They use `cygpath -w` to find the Windows path of the fonts directory. Unfortunately, they do it *before* unmounting the old one, so if you change the Cygwin installation root between the runs of the scripts, they will still refer to the old directory. The fix (for the postinstall scripts) is to unmount the directory *first*, and then run `cygpath -w`. The corrected postinstall scripts would each look like this: #!/bin/sh FONTDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts umount -u $FONTDIR 2/dev/null WFONTDIR=`cygpath -w $FONTDIR` mount -bfs $WFONTDIR $FONTDIR 2/dev/null || mount -bfu $WFONTDIR $FONTDIR The same changes as a patch (for XFree86-fnts.sh) are below. Hopefully this makes its way into the fonts package. Until it does, you could simply umount -u /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and re-install all of the XFree86-f??? packages that you need using setup.exe.

Problem compiling with xlib using GCC and newest Cygwin/Xfree86
I installed the latest release (or at least whatever the newest release available on the website) of Cygwin/XFree86 today, but Im having troubles with GCC and Xlib. When I try to include Xlib.h and go to compile, I get a very long slew of errors, mostly saying things like Window is used as a type but is not defined as a type. and so on with Atom, Font, Pixmap, etc. Next I get a list of about 20 syntax errors in Xlib.h, then errors in my code since types like Display and functions like XCreateSimpleWindow dont work. Im not trying to do anything fancy just yet, so Ive only got like 5 lines of code opening a window and mapping it, but it obviously isnt working. Any help would be appreciated. And if this issue has been addressed before, Im sorry. Im new to the list and tried searching for this problem but couldnt find any instances of it in the archives. Richard Duncan
