Display Error
Hello, I have a question about Xwin. I've been using Xwin T1 connection and on dial-up but without the full interface response with dial-up. But now that I have a dsl connection, I get a display error. Attached is the XWin.log with the error message. Is there anything I can do to fix this error; any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you. XWin.log Description: Binary data
Missing characters from a Type1 font
I install the AMS "computer modern" type1 fonts (as fetched form any big
TeX archive) and then try to use them. I appear to find that using cygwin
and its X server that the character with code 0xa1 is not displayed when
XDrawString is used. The code is a second-mapping of what would otherwise
be code 0x00, a capital Gamma.
Running exactly the same code on several 32-bit Linux systems causes the
character to be visible (specifically SuSE 9.0 + current updates and
RedHat 6.1). The new fonts were added using "xset fp+" and Delta, Theta
appear ok from 0xa2, 0xa3, so the font can really be accessed. I have some
belief that things fail on SuSE 9.x x86_64 too but can not readily check
that again just now. As short a demo program I have got is a hack of a
Hello World program found on the Web. It should display
X Gamma Y Delta | Theta Lambda Hello, World
but as I say on cygwin the Gamma is just missed out. Have I missed some
fine print in a manual please anybody?

Re: BScreen::BScreen: an error occcurred while querying the X server
Do you have a .xinitrc that is starting a window manager? If you want to use startx and want to use a window manager via .xinitrc (such as fvwm2 or wmaker), then you also need to add a .xserverrc that invokes XWin WITHOUT the multiwindow option: e.g. $ cat .xserverrc exec X :0 -clipboard $ cat .xinitrc exec wmaker On Fri, 24 Sep 2004 11:59:09 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hello, >Am having difficulty getting this email through. >I installed cygwin per a the web site's and a Professor's instructions.

Vijay, I think there is some confusion about what it is you are trying to accomplish. If you tell us more about what you'd really like to be able to do, we can try to provide you with good options. For instance, are you interested in seeing two desktops on remote systems, or do you want to run specific applications on two remote systems and simply interact with them from your Windows desktop?

Any idea what's the problem? You shouldn't need to set it explicitly, unless you're running it from a command outside X (e.g. from a DOS prompt), and even then it should only need to be set to ":0.0". You have remembered to actually start X first, haven't you? Experiment by starting X (use "startx" or run xinit directly). Check out /tmp/XWin.log to see if any errors are reported. luke
