RE: Starting X on a second monitor - kludge that works

2004-12-04 Thread Earle F. Philhower III 
Done as an extension to the -screen option.  Just tack on an X
and Y position after width and height (witn -geometry format or
just space-delimited) and you're set.
ex: make an 800x600 window and move it to the 2nd monitor
  XWin.exe -screen 0 800 600 1024 0
  XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600+1024+0
You can still specify just a width and height, so no changes to
current scripts needed:
  XWin.exe -screen 0 800 600
  XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600

Please review the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
 to see what information is usually
requested when reporting Cygwin problems.  Particularly, you should have
provided the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system as an uncompressed
text attachment to your message.

At a guess, you most likely have more than one Cygwin1.dll on your
machine.  Run the Windows Find (Start Menu->Search) and search for all
instances of Cygwin1.dll.  Delete all but the one in your Cygwin's /bin
directory, then you should be able to reinstall normally.
Igor
P.S. This is not a Cygwin/X problem, and thus belongs on the main Cygwin
list ().

something requires the new cygwin-1.5.12 which was apparently not updated at the
point where to postinstall scripts are running.

redoing the update should solve it.

We'll have to see how this fits with the old -screen n WxH option.
