X in 8 bit mode - Perfomancetroubles
Hy! Im using Cygwin XFree on a Acer Travelmate 634lci with Windows XP ( Color 32 bit ) my Application running on OpenVMS. I have to use 8 Bit Colormode for correct display. When i start X with the command: X -ac -fullscreen -depth 8 The display is ok, but the perfomane is unuseabel. When i use : X -ac -fullscreen -emulatepseudo Then the Applicationdisplay isn't working correct. Does anyone have a idea how I can use 8bit-colored Application with good performace on Cygwin Xwin I'm sure anybody outthere has an solution for my problem, so let me know. Thanks best regards Harry
Re: X in 8 bit mode - Perfomancetroubles
I think the best 8-bit performance will result if you downshift the Windows desktop to 256 colors and run XWin in windowed mode, which will allow it to use the DirectDraw engine.

Can't start gnome-terminal, fatal error
Hi, I am running the latest version of XWin on my Windows XP machine. I am able to connect to the remote Sun Ultra 5 (running Solaris 9 w/ GNOME 2.0) by using the following command: Xwin -screen 0 1280 1024 -from myhost -query remote_host -fp tcp/remote_host:7100 -fullscreen -depth 24 -refresh 85 The GNOME desktop displays properly. However, when I run the gnome-terminal application, the following error occurs: Application gnome-terminal (process 29819) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Arithmetic Exception) I am unable to run Netscape as well. However, I don't get any error message (the dtaction window appears but nothing happens). Any help would be appreciated, Best Regards, Jonathan Primeau

I have more information related to my problem. I hope that this will make my problem more obvious... When I run gnome-terminal from a standard terminal I get: BEGIN OUTPUT ** (gnome-terminal:161): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Cannot get required fonts from monospace13 (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Use -*-*-*-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XLFD fontname - some characters may not appear correctly (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Use -*-*-*-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XLFD fontname - some characters may not appear correctly (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-CRITICAL **: file zvti18n.c: line 831: assertion `new_fontset != NULL' failed (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Failed to load any required font, so crash will occur..check X11 font pathes and etc/pangox.alias file ** (gnome-terminal:161): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 ** (gnome-terminal:161): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Cannot get required fonts from monospace10 (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Use -*-*-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XLFD fontname - some characters may not appear correctly (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Use -*-*-*-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XLFD fontname - some characters may not appear correctly (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-CRITICAL **: file zvti18n.c: line 831: assertion `new_fontset != NULL' failed (gnome-terminal:161): ZVT-WARNING **: Failed to load any required font, so crash will occur..check X11 font pathes and etc/pangox.alias file ** (gnome_segv:162): WARNING **: Cannot load font for XLFD '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 -- END OUTPUT I guess that the problem comes from the missing fonts, it says: Failed to load any required font, so crash will occur..check X11 font pathes and etc/pangox.alias file. Is there any way I can fix that? By the way, I use the -fp option for Xwin (Font server). Regards, Jonathan Primeau

In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Harold L Hunt II [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I have written many messages about this before. I am surprised you haven't seen one yet. Thank you for your excellent responses. I had actually totally missed that there were searchable archives available. *blush* So, development is stuck now since I am working 30 or more hours a week and spending about 20 hours a week on my master's CS degree classes. The code is in the XFIXES_BRANCH in our xoncygwin CVS tree (see the message above for more details, I think), if you are interested in working on it. I've pulled down the tree but I'm not sure that the learning curve isn't going to be too great for me to get to grips with this code. Anyway, you're only working 50 hours a week. Put aside another 14 for sleep and you'll have it done in no time. :-) Good luck on the Masters and thanks for all the effort. Cygwin + XWin has made my life *so* much simpler. Yes, in Windows XP, turn on the 'quick edit' more for the command shell. This enables right-click to paste the current clipboard contents in your Cygwin bash shell. Other than that, good luck. :) Ooh, I never knew that. Thanks again.

Re: Cygwin Setup 99%
A bit of bad luck here: I'm reinstalling Cygwin on a newly formatted machine this morning. So what do I do to get it installed now? The setup is hung. Do I cancel and run it again? What? Thanks.

RE: Cygwin Setup 99%
Hi Jean-Claude, When does the setup hang exactly? I installed Xwin this morning and it hangs while executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh. So I cancelled the installation and I went in the /etc/postinstall directory and I executed all the sh scripts one by one and renamed them *.done. I don't know why it happens though. Executing XFree86-bin-icons.sh manually seems to work fine... Hope this helps...

Re: Cygwin Setup 99%
Open a bash shell and run kill -9 `ps -s|grep cygpath|awk '{print $1}'`
from it. Setup should then simply continue.

Just to be sure: are you using the correct option : XWin -query dmcphost (good) not XWin --query dmcphost (bad) ?

Questions
Hi, I've installed Cygwin and XFree86 in my Windows XP laptop. XFree86 works great! I really like it, and enjoy using the X Windows. Now I've got questions regarding security. It seems to me that someone could use X Windows to spy on what I'm doing on my laptop. Is there any settings in XFree86 I can adjust to prevent any snooper? I also have a ZoneAlarm firewall installed. Are there any ports I should set rules to block? In UNIX, I can use xhost - 'hostname' to remove the remote host from access control list, but the Free86/xhost command doesn't seem to have such option. Is there any other command that can do this?
