Xwin shutdown command line option
Hi is there a way to shutdown the Xserver from command line rather than using ps and checking for pid of XWin and using kill -9 if u can provide that option from command line it would be gr8 when XWin is started i have to go to the tray icon and shutit down, i have to connect more than 1 solaris machines using XWin using XDMCP so i can build a script just so that i can connect to what ever solaris machine? Bye, Vijay

Doh! problem solved was Re: bug? - startxwin.bat missing from recent Cygwin install
I apologize for not reading the install section in the excellent Cygwin/X User's Guide more closely. I missed two packages during the setup. Is it possible to rename these two packages: X-start-menu-icons X-startup-scripts so that they match the other packages (xorg-x11...) so they would appear in the same section during setup? I'll bet I'm not the only noob making the same mistake. Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

Well whenever I select in just the terminal from the kde desktop whatever is selected takes over the clipboard until something else is selected. I've tried un-selecting the item (clicking so that the select goes away), copying in windows and such but nothing seems to work. The only way to change what's in the clipboard is to select something else in cygwin, but this then "takes control" of the clipboard and again I cannot copy in windows but I can paste whatever was last selected in cygwin. > >bye >ago > >NP: Decoded Feedback - Bondage >-- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

-clipboard & xwinclip & -nounicodeclipboard
Im using the latest version of the KDE desktop from kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/install If I run the XWin.exe with the -clipboard option I keep getting this error: winClipboardErrorHandler ERROR: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) And whatever it is that I selected takes over my clipboard, basically the selects from Cygwin are whats in my clipboard no matter what. I can paste into windows but I cant copy from windows and have it show up in either windows or cygwin. So I restart the X server, this time not using the clipboard option. When the server comes up I run: xwinclip >/dev/null & This seems to work fine for a while, then it arbitrary crashes. Ive piped the output to a log file and heres what I get: UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP Unicode clipboard I/O GetClipboardData () failed: So I restart X yet again this time with the nounicodeclipboard option. This, Im afraid, doesnt seem to do anything at all. No clipboard functionality, buggie or otherwise.

It is possible to make all windows appear at the top left corner of the screen? I have looked at the command line options and found nothing appropriate. I am using the -multiwindow option.

PseudoColor "emulation" working.
Hey fellow developers, Following up my last post regarding pseudocolor emulation and my ideas to fix it, here's an update. I've modified the XWin server and running pseudocolor applications in an XWin window running ontop a 16/32bpp windows desktop is now possible, using shadow gdi rendering, it's however not possible to run both truecolor and pseudocolor apps at the same time. When using the -emulatepseudo flag, XWin now opens a window on the desktop with the same depth as the windows desktop however the shadow DIB that's allocated is 8bpp and only a pseudocolor visual is created. BitBlt() (win32 function) does all the color conversion and the like. I haven't tested this thoroughly with different pseudocolor apps, just the one i had to get working. The ToDo-list mentions "Emulate PseudoColor on TrueColor" this is not what this modification does as it doesn't let you run truecolor apps simultaneously. What i plan to do next, in case of spare time, is to allocate both a 8bpp DIB and a truecolor DIB and point these to their corresponding visuals, let the applications draw to them, then BitBlt() the DIBs to the XWin window (using a different raster-operation code), dunno if this is possible but it's worth a shot. When not supplying the -emulatepseudo flag the server works just like before. Is there any interest to merge my changes into the XWin source-tree? Please supply information on how this can be done. Cheers, Sebastian Haby is 8bpp and only a pseudocolor visual is created. BitBlt() (win32 function) does all the color conversion and the like.

The "no font fixed" problem
The problem with X not running because of the error "no font 'fixed'" has been around so long that some months ago a I scripted a post-install fixup, based on http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof FWIW, here's the output on a machine we installed Cygwin on today. You'll note that most of the theories about the cause of the problem were incorrect in this case: Now trying to workaround the new X installation problem Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts exists. So much for that theory. Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc exists too. So much for that theory. Hmm, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc had plenty of fonts (446, actually) Checking for /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts mount point... D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmo de) Unmounting /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts in preparation for fix Now re-running setup: you will need to choose RE-INSTALL for each of the X11 font sets (about 4 sets) under the X11 category. ** Lets try starting X to see if it now works. If you have to kill any of these attempts, you can continue from where you left off by using the try-X script. ** etc. So, the FAQ entry's theories don't seem to match the real cause, whatever that may be. I assume this problem has been affecting everyone, for months now, not just us? Or have I missed something? Here's the fixup script that generates the above output.
