Re: AltGr is CTRL on Norwegian/German keyboard
Hi again! Further facts on keyboard problems: - after removal of XF86Config nothing changes - connecting to a Solaris machine running CDE inside the session works fine but the Linux machine running KDE still has problems - on the Linux machine: when pressing AltGr then the following appears inside the .xsession-errors file: kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: Sym::initQt( ): failed to convert key. Maybe this is a KDE problem? On Montag, 22.

Re: Failure to make grap 1.30 under cygwin 1.5.5
Fergus, This is a general Cygwin question, not a Cygwin/XFree86 question. It should have been sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I happen to know the answer you want to hear. The problem is that 'flex' 2.5.31-1 sucks; it can't build anything in the XFree86 tree. Something is horribly wrong with it, but I don't care to get involved in fixing it. As such, I have upgraded flex to the 'test' version 2.5.4-2. You can do this in Cygwin's setup.exe, but you have to keep manually reselecting that version each time you run setup.exe because it will always try to replace it with the 'curr' 2.5.31-1 version.

startxwin.bat - how to use an .xinitrc file
I have several things that I like to have run when I start an xsession and normally I would put these into a ~/.xinitrc file to have them run at X startup time. However, when I run startxwin.bat it does not appear to execute the .xinitrc file automatically. Therefore I have had to manually edit the startxwin.bat file and add my custom stuff. Id like to find a way around editing startxwin.bat since after every xfree update I have to re-edit the file and re-add my custom lines. Am I missing something here? Is there a way to get startxwin.bat to automatically find $HOME/.xinitrc or would this be a good enhancement request? Thanks, Mike Campbell
ssh hangs with solaris 8 again
Hi all,
I found that writing 'run' in front of xterm command in file .XWinrc seems to solve
the Solaris 8 hanging problem:
menu root {
// for an unknown reason, solaris needs 'run' in the beginning of the
command...
solaris exec run xterm -sb -e ssh -X solarisbox
//...etc...
}
Does anyone have any idea why? For Linux machines, 'run' is not needed.
Thanks,
Tuli

Are you running any other X Clients in your startup script on Windows? Did you use startxdmcp.bat as a base? It would be a good idea to use startxdmcp.bat as a base since it doesn't start local X Clients. Also, I'd rather not use the resources on the Linux Box yet still have this functionality. So, is there a way I can accomplish this without actually being in runmode 5 on the Linux box? What resources? If you are referring to the overhead of running just xdm, then yes, you can do this without running xdm. However, the resources associated with your full remote session are always going to be used, if you want a full remote session. If what you want to do is just display some remote clients using the local window manager (XWin -multiwindow), then you can do this with ssh and X11 tunneling: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html#using-remote-apps-ssh If you still want the full remote desktop (e.g. Gnome, KDE, etc.), then you start XWin without -multiwindow, -rootless, and -query (e.g. XWin -nodecoration -lesspointer) and without a local window manager (e.g. twm, mwm, etc.). You launch an xterm (from your script) and either configure it to run ssh, or you manually ssh to the remote machine. Finally, you run the script on your remote machine that starts the window manager of your choice. Some examples from debian would be 'startkde', 'startgnome', etc. This still uses all of the resouces associated with running a full desktop login, but it does allow you to not run xdm on your linux machine. I don't have the exact procedure for automating the launch of ssh from xterm, but I think an example was in an email sent the list today, so you can search the mailing list archives for 'ssh' and 'xterm'.

Do you mean that you don't want to run an X server on the remote server, but allow remote connections via xdm? If you are running xdm or kdm remotely just comment out the line that starts up the X server in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. If you are using gdm it may be different, I don't know. Tony Richardson
Re: startxwin.bat - how to use an .xinitrc file
Sounds like I've got my Cygwin/Xfree setup the way you'd like. You can do it, too, in 3 easy steps... 1) Edit the file .bash_profile in your home directory and make sure the X11R6/bin directory gets added to your path. e.g.: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin 2) Put your .xinitrc file in your home directory and edit it to your liking. 3) Create a Windows shortcut (on the Desktop, for instance) with the following target: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\run.exe /bin/bash.exe --login -c xinit -- -noreset -nodecoration The run part keeps bash from creating a dormant icon on the task bar. The --login part tells bash to read .bash_profile. The arguments after xinit -- get passed to XWin. That's all there is to it!

Re: Xfree86 is slow! with software like MATLAB
Harold Mark, To contribute to the discussion: I see the same problem when running Matlab. In my case Matlab is run on a Compaq/HP Tru64 computer with the GUI displayed on my Windows PC running cygwin/xfree in multiwindow mode. I also have a commercial X server (xwin32) available on my PC. Display of Matlab graphics, or even updating of the icons in Matlab window menubar are considerably slower when running via cygwin/xfree - the graphics benchmarks that Matlab provide run approximately 100 times slower under cygwin/xfree than under xwin32. Trials of other commercial X servers indicated that some are slow and some are quick, probably due to the reason given by Harold. An in-house, graphically intensive, X program run under the same setup as above does not show such a marked difference. One point of difference is that the Matlab GUI is written entirely in Java, while the other program uses GTK.

Re: Xfree86 is slow! with software like MATLAB
Gavin, I forgot to mention something that is becoming apparent now: Matlab may be using OpenGL, which is implemented in software in Cygwin/XFree86. Thus, OpenGL is extremely slow in Cygwin/XFree86. Some of the commercial X Servers for Windows have an accelerated implementation of OpenGL that basically passes off the calls to the Win32 OpenGL layer. This was also implemented in X on X (XFree86 for Mac OS X), so a reference implementation is available if someone wanted to look into doing this. So, are the fast apps non-OpenGL and the slow apps OpenGL? Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Harold Mark, To contribute to the discussion: I see the same problem when running Matlab.

But, of course, that's a good lesson for life anyway. OK, I know this should be on the cygwin-apps but since it showed up here can I make a better problem report on the new flex version? Internal common parsing variables and functions that were available in 2.5.04 no longer are accessible (i.e. yytext_ptr or yyunput, yy_flex_realloc). As I'm not an expert in Lex I can't say if these are legit functions, but they have been there since time immemorial and are found in the X11R6 tree in several spots besides the xserver/hw/xwin branch. For debugging I tried to find the .31 version but couldn't find it on any official site so I couldn't find a changefile and see if maybe there's a new -switch or something to enable legacy mode beyond the standard -lex mode option. A compile of the version available @ gnu results in a version that still has these needed functions. The lex header files are very, very different between the 2.5.4 and .31 versions, but I didn't go into detail because they are quite convoluted. -Earle F.
