Re: How to use to connect to Linux X Windows?
Thanks for the link. Reading it prompted me to read the XDMCP Howto, which helped out significantly. I followed the instructions in the XDMCP howto, and managed to connect no problem from one computer. However, when I follow exactly the same setup steps for Cygwin on another computer, I am unable to connect remotely to the XDM on my Linux machine. Xwin just opens with a blank screen. Both machines are on the same internal subnet and I am issuing the same command to both (Xwin -query 192.168.2.1). Is there any debugging information I can turn on to find out what machine #1 is doing that machine #2 is not? I even went as far as copying the Cygwin directory from the functional machine to the non-functional one in case there was a problem with the install, but that did not make a difference either. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

XWin 6.7.0.0-4 hangs with -clipboard
Hi, The hard-hangs of XWin using -clipboard are still present in the latest code (6.7.0.0-4 of xorg-x11-xwin). I have some strace info below, as well as the XWin.log, in case that might be useful. This is on a Win98SE system, updated to the latest Cygwin code (as of about 6 hours ago). The hang is easily triggered with only a few mouse button clicks. Set a mark (left click) and right click anywhere will usually cause the hard hang. Multiple left clicks will do it too (usually by 3rd left-button click). The mouse clicks don't have to be rapid (e.g. can be many seconds apart). In this example, I used the default startxwin.sh, with an added -logverbose 255 (hoping this might trigger extra logging...). In the hung state, XWin does not respond (nor do any subordinate xterms). The X-icon in the tray does not respond either. Have to kill -9. The XWin.log is at the end of this message. Below is a strace log just before the hang. A more complete strace from the time the first xterm came up and strace was attached is also available - as is a cygcheck -cvsr, if anybody wants it. Hope this helps. ## Final lines of strace up to hang.

Initial Comments From a Noob
Hey all With that out of the way... Last Friday (4/15/04) I updated my Cygwin tools (longtime user) and installed (for the first time) all the Cygwin/X servers & apps (setup/x11-base 6.7.0.0-7, cygcheck XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-68). I got up and running over a PuTTY-supplied ssh tunnel without too much grief (I'll deal with a Cygwin tunnel later). I'm running XWin.exe with -multiwindow -clipboard. Here's a list, roughly in descending order of pain, of the things I've run into in the past day or so. Some are already on to do lists but they're here again just for ranking's sake. - The amount of effort y'all have put into this project is amazing. Great job. - Paste Win -> X: Today I copied a command-line from a Word doc, or perhaps a web page and tried to paste it into my xterm. The only thing pasting into X was something I had copied from another xterm earlier. Even now, even though I can paste Win32 copied text into Notepad it won't paste into xterm or emacs. I know that copy/paste worked in both directions when I first started up the X server. I've had this same thing happen with Exceed and XWin32. Maybe with a bit more active and accessible development effort we can make this more reliable. - Ctrl-Shift-Tab: What can I say, I'm too used to Windows. I use emacs w/ cua.el and added ctrl-tab/ctrl-shift-tab bindings to cycle through the buffer list. I can't say for sure if this was working on Friday or not, but today it doesn't do anything. (global-set-key [(C-S-kp-tab)] (lambda () (interactive) (crs-bury-buffer -1))) - Desktop resize: When I remote desktop into my computer and the screen size changes the background window isn't resizing yet. I saw that the first bit of code is in an #if 0 state. I'm looking forward to the implementation. - Windows Cursor: At the moment the Windows cursor isn't being hidden while its over the x window client area. This just started this morning when I came back from the weekend. Could be some sort of artifact from remote desktop use? Anyway there's quite an art to ignoring the Windows cursor especially when it isn't a simple arrow (window resize arrow for instance). - Popup windows(?): Using the IntelliJ IDEA I can press Alt+F to bring up the file menu. Let go of the Alt key, then press Alt-Tab to switch to another window. If it's another X window, the file menu eventually goes away. If it's a Windows window (this message in Outlook for example) the file menu never goes away. - X Tooltips (not sure what they're called in x) can popup over non X windows. For example, open emacs and then switch to a non-x app like Outlook. From time to time it appears as if XWin hasn't released mouse capture and the tooltips from emacs (icon bar, status bar, ...) will pop up over the non-x application. - Painting: If you click in the title bar of an xterm buried behind another one and drag the window, the contents of the top window are dragged around until the window gets a chance to be repainted. Also this morning when bringing up hidden xterms the xterm window was painted with the contents of the hidden root window before the underlying xwindow(?) had been brought to the foreground. Neither of these are problems just entertaining to watch. Dan

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately our users' boxes are locked down
(they're on XP) so they wouldn't be able to edit that file. I was really
looking for a way to do this from the XFree startup script or configuration
anyway.
OK. You asked for it. Below is a short C program which will check the
state of the NumLock key and synthesize a keydown/keyup sequence of the
NumLock key if it's down. Works on my box, which is Win2K, but I'm led to
believe from the documentation that it should work with any 32-bit
implementation of windows.
To build it, copy-paste the following source into a file (e.g.
"numlockoff.c") then run gcc on it (e.g. "gcc -o numlockoff numlockoff.c").
Then add that to a convenient location on your client systems and add a call
to it in your X startup script.

When I issue the command xemacs& or emacs& it opens a window on my desktop. but when I issue the command netscape I get the following error: (76) unixs1 % netscape & [1] 15126 (77) unixs1 % Warning: Cannot convert string "Escape,_Key_Cancel" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "Home,_Key_Begin" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "F1,_Key_Help" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "ShiftF10,_Key_Menu" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "F10,Shift_Key_Menu" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "KP_Enter,_Key_Execute" to type VirtualBinding Warning: Cannot convert string "AltReturn,Alt_Key_KP_Enter" to type VirtualBinding X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 73 (X_GetImage) Resource id in failed request: 0x56 Serial number of failed request: 78 Current serial number in output stream: 78 I tried also another x client (xwin32) and netscape worked fine. So this appears to be a bug in cygwin-xfree. Am I doing something wrong? I run the latest version of cygwin.

My monitors are laid out as "2"->"1" (#2 on the left). I recently upgraded to the new xorg x11 via setup. The version is xorg-x11 6.7.0.0-6. I start X with startxwin.bat. I'm using Windows 2000. The problem is this: If you move an xterm from one screen to the next (they appear on #2, and I move them to #1), the window stops repainting. If I move half, the half that was on #2 still repaints, while the #1 half does not. I'm wondering if you are aware of this issue, and if you have any solutions or workarounds. For now all my consoles live in monitor #2 :-) Thanks, -David Martinez -- -Earle F. Philhower, III [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ziplabel.com
Renaming 'xfree' mailing lists?
Now that Cygwin is using xorg instead of XFree86, will this mailing list and xfree-announce be renamed? -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Forked call
Hi! I can find no input to this problem in the cygwin docs etc. This problem does not occur if the Cygwin X server is used by the executables that are compiled in SFU. It only happens when the executables are Cygwin derived. From X app 1 I call a simple fork programme using a system call. This fork programme calls another X app using execv, the details of which have been passed to it as arguments. The fork programme dies returning control to X app1. The X app2 initiates and processes through all actions up to display. It appears to pick up all the relevant X environment enquiries correctly. Under SFU it progresses to display and operates as required. Under Cygwin it dies, I have tried trapping signals but have found none. This suggest that the X server is happy as it works with SFU and that the problem is something I have to do with the cygwin generated X-app. True, False or complete rubbish? Input greatly appreciated.

Clipboard mini-hangs with 6.7.0.0-4
The clipboard hanging problem is not completely cured. I am often unable to paste text from X (in particular, xemacs) into Windows apps; the hourglass appears for a few seconds and nothing is pasted. Sometimes I cannot paste from Windows into X; I select some text and copy it to the Windows clipboard but pasting in X gives some different text that I selected in X earlier. The following log file shows (at the end) the mini-hang when pasting from X into Windows. I am not running xwinclip.exe at the same time.
