Re: focus / windows update problems
Jochen, The XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-15 release should fix your problems. Harold Jochen Küpper wrote: I started up the Cygwin XFree86 server yesterday again (after many weeks). Thanks for all the improvements! I do have a problem with window content updates, though. I am running latest Cygwin (as of yesterday) on a Win2000 system with "focus follows mouse policy" (this can be set in TweakUI). Mostly it works fine for X programs, too. When I have two overlapping X windows and move the mouse to the back one it gets focus and everything is as expected. However when I then click its titlebar to move it to the front the newly shown content is not redrawn! Only when the window looses focus and regains it the content will be displayed correctly. Looks like bringing the window to the front does not trigger the right signal, i.e. redefining the window area which has to be redrawn. Feel free to contact me if you need more information. Greetings, Jochen

lesstif & tetex-x11 manpages not in MANPATH directory

Segmentation fault after xdm login
My first attempt at the xdm login screen causes Xwin(debug version or not) instantly reappear with the same xdm login and the second attempt results in a segmentation fault. The remote box is a Redhat 9. In the xdm-errors file I can't see any messages at all even after increasing the "DisplayManager.debugLevel" parameter located in "/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config".

Updated: XFree86-prog-4.3.0-7
The XFree86-prog-4.3.0-7 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution.

Server Test Series - Change Log - Split into manageable pieces
No one had complained yet, but the Server Test Series Change Log (link below) had grown to 115 KiB and I am sure that this was annoying to some people on less-than-fast links. http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/changelog.html The Change Log has now been split into chunks with no more than 25 release per file. I added a set of links to each of the pages, right about where the entries start, that allows you to move between the different pages: View: Current Full Test100+ Test99-Test75 Test74-Test50 Test49-Test25 Test24-Test01 What the links do = Current - Shows whatever the current set of changes is (Test100+ in this case). Full - Shows all changes. TestXXX-YYY - Shows all changes between YYY and XXX. How it works I have 5 files on the server that contain the change log entries: entries-100.html, entries-075.html, etc. Each of the changelog-XXX.html files just includes entries-XXX.html. The full changelog, changelog-full.html, includes all of the entries-*.html files and the changelog.html file just includes whatever the most recent entries-*.html file is. Does it help? = I would like some feedback on whether this was a waste of time or whether some people actually benefited from it. Harold

Cygwin/XFree86 Website Design (Possible Deuglification?)
The Cygwin/XFree86 website is looking pretty tired: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ Things I don't like === 1) The green and black header. Yuk! 2) The hideous X logo. Yuk! 3) All the crap on the front page. Most of that stuff should be put on secondary pages. 4) News needs its own page. 5) The Screenshots page needs work. Most of the screenshots are out of date. Several new features need to be shown to entice new users. 6) Screenshots need thumbnails. People don't like following blind links to images. We should have some thumbnails linking to the images. Philosophy for changes == 1) Content is king. If we don't have anything to say, we don't need a webpage. The whole point of the webpage is to showcase our information. With that in mind, we aim to make the webpage less ugly, but we can't forget that the whole point is to share information. 2) Plain-text bodies are good. I like being able to add a lot of information on a web page without having to deal with stylistic issues. 3) Eye-candy should be relegated to the left-bar, header, right-bar (if we want one), footer, and link sections within pages. 4) HTML compliance is a must. All pages should validate. 5) Don't assume much of web browsers. Keep away from JavaScript if we can (we don't use any yet). CSS is okay. DHTML may be pushing it too far. I don't want to spend a lot of time making sure it works with a lot of web browsers. Example sites that I would like to emulate == 1) http://www.kde.org/ - Good use of color, nice link sections around page and in page itself. 2) Huh... couldn't find another example. Example sites that I do not want to emulate === 1) http://www.gnome.org/ - Too plain, too dark, not enough info on the front page, no link sections, etc. 2) http://xfree86.org/ - This is an example of how I never want our page to look. :) Next steps == 1) Does anyone want to help? 2) Would someone like to make some professional screenshots showcasing our most recent new features (Earle's customizable tray-icon menu, Alexander putting the -query string in the title bar, multi-window mode, the 'always on top' option in the right-click menu in mutli-window mode, and the list of icons created by the XFree86-bin-icons package)? 3) Would someone like to pick an overall color scheme and set of styles? Just mock-up the front page for me and send me your .html and .css files and I can see what I can do with it. This would be a huge help. Let me know what you think, Harold
Weird keyboard behavior with "Caps Lock" key
Something strange happened minutes ago. I was typing and suddenly all subsequent keys pressed showed as capitals, like if something reversed the "Caps Lock" key. With it enabled all showed as lower case. Then I tested in an open rxvt from where I started the session and everything showed right. The problem was only on Xfree86, and I had to restart it. I'm using all current packages and latest server. Any idea of what might have caused it or what I can do to track it down if it reappears ? Nothing in the logs. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

If it is the source of your problem, you could re-synch two Caps Lock states by pressing Caps Lock for a while (several tries should be needed until it get fixed). The Caps Lock state of XFree86 is not strictly synchronized with the state of Windows. The former dominates the behaviour of all X applications while the latter dominates Windows applications, non-X rxvt and the LED on keyboards. As an experiment, when we press Caps Lock key for a while, Windows takes just one toggle. However, XFree receives a number of WM_KEYDOWN messages (due to Windows' autorepeat?) and it toggles the state repeatedly. Thus two states can be different. Takuma Murakami ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
