Re: XWin 4.3.0-50 crashes with -multiwindow
Harold and all, I built XWin from source and debugged with gdb, and in that way I was able to track down the bug. It is due to my visual being 24bpp. It does not occur if it is changed to 16bpp. 32bpp is not available, but I am confident everything would work in that case. Here is what happens: - winScaleXBitmapToWindows is called. The pixmap passed has height 42, width 48 and bitsPerPixel 24 - effXBPP is 24, xStride is 144 (48*(24/8)) - iconData is allocated as an array of 144*42 bytes - then, miGetImage is called. Here the line linelength = PixmapBytePad(w, depth); is executed with w=48 and depth=24. As a result, linelength is 192 (48*4), not 144 (48*3). - in the following for cycle, pDst (initialized as iconData) is incremented by linelength(=192) each time. Soon the pointer overflows the allocated bounds, causing the crash. It seems that handling of 24-bit display is broken. Maybe winScaleXBitmapToWindows should use PixmapBytePad to calculate xStride, but I'm only guessing as I'm not an expert.

Re: uxterm from xterm-185-2 not working and Unicode related craches from xterm
I'm preparing xterm-185-3 right now using --enable-wide-chars. It wasn't clear to me if I should do this the first time around, so I figured I would just enable it later if it turned out to be needed and worked on Cygwin. Looks like that is the case. :) Harold Thomas Dickey wrote: On Tue, 23 Mar 2004, Dr. Volker Zell wrote: Hi list When running uxterm from xterm-185-2 I get 12:47 PM [126] uxterm xterm: bad command line option -u8 The imake configuration normally enables this code; the configure normally does not.

Re: Remote KDE with Cygwin X
Peter, How are you starting Cygwin/X? It sounds like you are using startx, startxwin.sh, or startxwin.bat, all of which will start the server in multi-window mode which will crash if you try to run KDE remotely because both multi-window mode and KDE will be trying to run window managers at the same time when you can only run one at a time. Please send in /tmp/XWin.log from one of these attempts so we can figure out the command line being passed to XWin.exe. Harold Peter Graf wrote: Hello I want to report a strange problem I have since yesterday since I upgraded Cygwin X base to 4.3.0-9. I upgraded my entire cygwin installation to the version available yesterday. I have a WinXP laptop and a linux server that has no monitor. I have had this setup for over a year now, Cygwin X always worked perfectly for it, I have also not changed the KDE on the server lately. I run KDE remotely on my laptop when I use the Linux server by - starting XWin.exe with one xterm inside on the laptop - ssh'ing to the server: ssh -X -l user server - starting KDE on the server: kde After yesterday's upgrade I now have the strange effect that launching and running the KDE hangs at various stages unless I select some text from the initial xterm window with the mouse. Like: KDE is running, I want to start Konqueror and click on it's Icon, nothing happens, once I bring the xterm window, which I used for ssh'ing to the server and starting the kde from, into the foreground and highlight some text in it with the mouse, konqueror appears. I only detected the workaround, because KDE hung during launch and I wanted to highlight and copy/paste the messages from the xterm window to a mail I wanted to send to this group. All of a sudden the launch proceeded then hung again, . I somehow have the feeling the problem has something to do with the clipboard, I do not know enough to really say :-(. Maybe this post helps somebody figuring out the problem. I can live with my workaround so far. Greetings, Peter -- -- Peter Graf, http://mission.base.com

Re: XWin 4.3.0-50 crashes with -multiwindow (ping Earle)
Howdy Fabrizio, Harold. Thanks for the good debug Fabrizio! The 24bpp icon handling was something I never could test: I couldn't find any apps that had 24bpp icons, all I found were 1- 15-, 16-, or 32-bit ones. I was assuming the X server always used a packed format, but PixmapBytePad() looks to be the proper way of handling this. (Can I ask how you knew? I did a Google on the macro and didn't come up with anything of interest, I only found stuff in the header files themselves...) Harold, the xStride calc looks great, but by removing the conversion of 15-bpp modes into effective 16-bpp modes will break 15bpp icon handling. 15-bpp modes are handled exactly the same as 16bpp modes, except they are not bit-packed (there's 1 extra unused bit every pixel) so you can't do (bpp/8). To fix it we can reinstate the if()... if (pixmap-drawable.bitsPerPixel == 15) effXBPP = 16; else effXBPP = pixmap-drawable.bitsPerPixel; if (pixmap-drawable.depth == 15) effXDepth = 16; else effXDepth = pixmap-drawable.depth; Or get rid of the effX* variables completely, but modify (~line 218) if (effxdepth==16) into into if (xdepth==16 || xdepth==15) and modify all of the X image ptr walking ptr += posX * (effXBPP / 8); into ptr += (xbpp==15)?(posX * (16/8):(posX * (xbpp/ 8)); If you'd like I can do it, just let me know which one would be more appealing! Personally I find the effX variables make the routine a bit more readable, but that's kind of expected since I put them there in the first place...

Please test this on a 24 bit depth system. It seems to work okay on 32 bit depth systems. I checked the change into CVS as well. I think that Earle should probably take a look at it to verify that it is likely correct since there are several calculations to correct the depth and bpp values, which may be made redundant by just using PixmapBytePad instead; but the function confuses me too much to understand it quickly.

Possible clipboard hang fix in the works
I was just talking to 'jst' in irc.freenode.net about the periodic hanging caused by the clipboard integration manager. I took a peek at the source code again (it is tough to understand and tough to not cause infinite loops, that's why I look at it about once every 3 months) and realized that I left in something that never realy intended to leave in: a blocking call that waits for an X application to send clipboard data. The part I am referring to is that we call XPeekIfEvent to wait for a SelectionNotify event to be sent back to our clipboard manager. If an X application is misbehaved or if something goes wrong, then that message will never come. The problem with XPeekIfEvent is that it does not allow for a timeout value to be specified, so it blocks forever if the event never comes. Upon a cursory inspection it should be almost trivial to replace the call to XPeekIfEvent with a simple loop that does the same thing but has a timeout value that prevents it from blocking indefinitely. Course... that means we probably can't use select... so I'll have to look at how XPeekIfEvent works and write something similar to it. In any case, I might have a fix for this problem later this week or as early as Wednesday. Harold
