Re: Clipboard problems
Hello. In complement to this problem, I've tried some tests : 1/ I've checked out the cvs tree and compiled a debug version. I've used it but the behaviour was the same and I didn't manage to find how to track the culpid, due to the integration into KDE-Cygwin. I think the problem is strongly related to KDE clipboard management, so I also send this mail to the KDE-cygwin mailing list. 2/ As ever, I've regulary updated my cygwin installation and retried. Until 6.7.0.0-8, there was no change (unless cursor desappearing, temporarily solved with -swcursor). But with 6.7.0.0-9, ther is some evolution : Now, the clipboard works fine as long as I stay into X11 applications, but as soon as I try to use it into Windows applications, XWin freeze, with task manager showing 100% of cpu consumption. The only solution is to kill it manually. How could I help you tracking more efficiently this problem, or even how could I solve it ? Thanks.

Problems running xterms on AIX and the Oracle Univeral Installer
Hello - I am newbie to cygwin and am having a few difficulties running X from a remote AIX 4.3.3 server. I am starting up the X server by running the startxwin.bat file. I am taking the default of "run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard ." I am using X11Forwarding so that my DISPLAY variable is set when I ssh to a server. When I run xterm on the box that I ssh to, the xterm does display back. However, I can't seem to be able to type anything inside the xterm. No characters ever show up inside the xterm. I can use cntrl-d to close the window. Can you suggest a way for me to correct this? I have experimented with the -fullscreen mode with the same results. Something else I am having problems with is when I run the Oracle Universal Installer on a remote system; my cursor basically disappears when my mouse has the focus on the oui. I am able click buttons, but I can't ever see where my cursor is. I currently have Hummingbird installed and it is working fine for displaying X back, but I would really prefer to use Cygwin. I do not have Hummingbird and Cygwin running at the same time. If anyone can help me with my issues, I would greatly appreciate it. Brian
Moving
My wife and I just graduated with our final college degrees, her with her second bachelor's and I with my master's in computer science. We start moving from Michigan to California tomorrow and I will be losing my internet and computer access starting in about three hours. We will have internet access next week but it is unlikely that my computer will arrive for at least a week, so I will be unable to check email or perform any actions for the project for at least a week. I am starting my new job on May 24th and we are having a baby in July. As you can imagine, this means that I will be pretty busy. I am investigating handing the project over to Alexander Gottwald; this transition would likely occur about four weeks from now if it will occur at all. I just want to prep everyone for the idea that I might be moving on so that it does not come as a surprise if I do move on. That is it for now. I will probably be unsubscribed from the mailing list for the next week so that my mailbox does not overflow. Later, Harold

I don't think it hurts but it's not really necessary as long as other bits of the system aren't going to go hiding it. Oh, and you might want to update the bit in the docs to include the differences between hardware and software cursor handling. >Can you please test it with the Terminal Service? The cursor works fine. There are a few other miscellaneous problems in multiwindow mode though. Window activation doesn't appear to affect the X window stacking order, window titles are all "Cygwin/X X." I hope those aren't unexpected. Uh, never mind, seems to be an artifact of Spy++ running when starting XWin. Uggh. And while on the subject of cursors, have there been any discussions about xeyes support in multiwindow mode and the problems caused because X clients don't realize that they're not visible? Try this: run emacs in (default) x-mode. Minimize all other windows besides emacs. Take note of where any of the icon bar buttons are. Minimize the emacs window. Hover the mouse over where one of the buttons was. Up pops the emacs tooltip/balloon help window. You get the same behavior if it was another windows app obscuring the emacs window. I was thinking about a -noxeyes flag that just turned off the WIN_POLLING_MOUSE_TIMER_ID timer, or maybe just not calling miPointerAbsoluteCursor when the cursor is over an non-X window. Suboptimal but less annoying. Thanks, Dan
Re: Xwin weirdnesses
Certainly there are lots of things that need work at this point with X.org's Xwin. I also have the same problem as described below. What I did to resolve the problem is to replace the "run" keyword with "start". "run" was a cygwin command (run.exe), while "start" is Windows shell (cmd.exe) intrinsic command. The other complaint is this: Xwin often closes by itself with NO warning, nothing written in /tmp/XWin.log. Here's my XWin.log quote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /tmp/XWin.log Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.7.0.0-8 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -unixkill -nowinkill -clipboard ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1600 h 1024 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 0007 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 24 bits per pixel winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff ff00 00ff MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shar ed memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0409" (0409) (EE) Keyboardlayout "US" (0409) is unknown Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc101" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 797 480 winProcEstablishConnection - Hello winInitClipboard () winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. winClipboardProc - Hello DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. -- yip, and not too long after, the X screen disappears! No core dump was found in $HOME directory or /tmp. Note: I use WindowMaker as the window manager. Wirawan OOT: Are you sure that the %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix subdir is properly created? This issue is a disgression from the discussion topic, but let me mention it. It may worth looking into to fix the current implementation of my-startxwin.bat. This directory is actually a problem, if someone cares. In my case, the cygwin "partition" lives on an NTFS filesystem, and I use ntsec (NT Security) to provide the "real" unix file permissions. This poses a problem. The X server needs /tmp/.X11-unix subdir, which may or may not be accessible by any user starting the session. This may in turn fails the whole X session. Why? Since the X session is started by an ordinary _user_ (and not by ROOT as in Linux). The subdir /tmp/.X11-unix, if created by a user, say, XYZ, will not be erasable by another user starting X session (later) on the same machine. Suppose there are 2 users on that machine that can start X sessions (of course not concurrently, I would assume, but that can also happen on an XP box). For simplicity let me assume that they are 2 different users that would start X at different times, and the sessions do not overlap. The first user started it, and my-startxwin.bat creates /tmp/.X11-unix (OWNED by the first user). Now this session is properly terminated. Then the other user tried to start with my-startxwin.bat, but it wouldn't be able to, as /tmp/.X11-unix has been there and created by someone else. NTFS permission is so strict that even administrators can't always able to erase that subdir! Let me outline my solution: I had to customize the script, by replacing %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp to another directory which is accessible only to me. In this case, I create C:\cygwin\tmp\wirawan, and MOUNT that subdir as /tmp *for me only*: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mount -u -b 'C:\cygwin\tmp\wirawan' /tmp Then all references to %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp are replaced with C:\cygwin\tmp\wirawan. This can pose another trickery, but it works for me. My X session would generate .X11-unix subdir in *my* /tmp, not in global tmp (C:\cygwin\tmp).

RE: Mouse/keyboard emulation
Turn off NumLock. From: "Mark Vovchuk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Mouse/keyboard emulation Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 11:51:05 -0400 I have been trying to use Cygwin, at least in part, as an X server on top of a Windows install to be able to execute programs from a UNIX server and have them appear locally. The application I have been specifically attempting to do so with is Eclipse (motif for HP-UX). Just about every other application that I have run has been able to take keyboard and mouse input from the Windows machine with no problems. However, when I run Eclipse, the Java based GUI will launch after a short time, however it will be a dead screen with no ability to click, move focus or execute any commands. In this attempt, I also tried to display a full Xwindows (CDE on HP-UX 11.0) session. This did work once I was able to sort out the X font server issue I encountered initially. I was able to control the window when displaying the full X session. My boss was able to get it to work completely the way we wanted with another product, however that was a demo of software that is far to expensive for us to purchase. This is what I tried to do concerning displaying only the application remotely to my Windows desktop from the UNIX machine: I started Cygwin Typed "startx" and hit return in the Xterm I typed "xhost +" in the Xterm I typed "xset +fp tcp/:7100 (the port the font server is listening on) in the Xterm I opened an ssh session by typing "ssh -l and then entered the password when prompted When logged in to the remote server I cd'd into the directory for eclipse and executed my script to launch it which consists of the path to the eclipse executable and these arguments: /eclipse -vm /opt/java1.4/bin/java -vmargs -XdoCloseWithReadPending This would bring up the splash and the application would load, but as stated above, not open. I could open other X applications and have no such issues. Any assistance would be greatly helpful and valued.

Upgraded to the latest and now my windows are freezing
I have been using cygwin-xfree for a while and everything has been working fine. This morning I grabbed the latest software xorg-x11-base from 6.7.0.0-7 -> 6.7.0.0-8 xorg-x11-etc from 6.7.0.0-1 -> 6.7.0.0-3 xorg-x11-xwin from 6.7.0.0-4 -> 6.7.0.0-8 Now it seems that whenever I am running cygwinX and "Query Analyzer" from Microsoft, both application fail to respond and the windows are going white. So I figured I will try and back out of xorg-x11-xwin and go to previous version. But I can't seem to do this because I have a newer version of setup.ini. I would like to get back to a stable versionwhat is the best way to proceed ? -Thanks Steve More NOTICE: This e-mail may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended solely for delivery to the specific person identified as the recipient.

But the hw/xwin part was and still is being extended with a lot of features and 6 months make a big difference between a broken and a much better clipboard integration. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

The last change to the hw/xwin files was 4 months ago (according to wincvs) and those were only changes which were required because some macros changed. The last major patch for hw/xwin was applied by egbert on Wed Oct 8 10:13:03 2003 UTC (7 months ago) by eich bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Xwin weirdnesses
Since updating to the newest xorg distribution weird things are happening with starting Xwin from startxwin.bat. I used to be able to start multiple windows in a 800 by 600 screen with the blackbox window manager. Now when I try that using the -scrollbars -clipboard -screen 0 800 600 no window appears although when I kill X it thinks there are 2 clients connected?! I removed "run" from in front of Xwin in the batch file and that works, well, every other time. I start startxwin.bat and it pops up the X window but then doesn't start the window manager or xterm. If I kill X and restart, then it works (although it crashes at random times - it used to never crash). Rootless and multiwindow work, although I like having all my X stuff in its own window and using rootless and multiwindow I don't have the benefits of blackbox (i.e. opening a new xterm session by right-clicking). Is anyone else having these problems?
