Fw: openGL problem in cygwin-xfree?
First, I hope I've directed this question to the correct mailing list: I'm not sure if it's pertinent to this list or to the cygwin list. I frequently use cygwin-xfree to log onto external host machines, usually Solaris or SGI-based. This environment worked quite well for me until recently, when I updated my Cygwin installation. Ever since then, it appears, that none of the openGL applications running on the host machine have been able to access openGL in the cygwin-xfree server. For example, here is the error message I get from an application based on TCL/TK scripting, which interfaces with openGL using the togl package: Togl: couldn't get visual while executing "togl $dw -width $wwidth -height $wheight -rgba true -double true -depth true -ident Box2 -overlay true" Apparently, the TCL/TK application can't locate the openGL facility, anywhere. Another application, the CFD visualization software FIELDVIEW, does not work when openGL graphics are specified specified, but works fine when X-based graphics are specified. Has anyone experienced anything like this recently, and/or can they assist in finding this problem? I've attached the cygcheck output, and I've tried re-installing the openGL libary, with no success. I'm contemplating simply reinstalling all of cygwin-xfree, if worse comes to worse. Thanx in advance for any help. The cygcheck output is attached.

Make sure XWin has full access to the network. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

xwin hangs at startup - no xterm display
hello: Further investigation I found that whenever I startup XWin.exe it always has two proceses running and xterm neve comes up. I used to get the xterm when I killed one of the Xwin processes. Now that method has stopped working also. Anybody else has teh same problem?
RE: xwin hangs at startup - no xterm display
I get this quite often.. It usually takes me 3-4 cycles of launching and killing processes before I can get a working xterm up. It hasn't annoyed me enough to look into it further yet - plus my version is outdated - I just assumed it would be fixed in a future version since it was such blatant error - but maybe its not as widespread as I assumed.
Re: Full install on XP hangs at /etc/X11/abb-defaults/Bitmap
I am just a lurker, but... I have had this occur to me in a Windows application when trying to save a file to a directory that does not exists, the application creates a file with the directory name and then (big suprise) cannot create a file inside it. Perhaps there is a script that does not check that the app-defaults directory exists before creating Bitmap in it, thereby creating app-defaults as a file?
