gnuplot: unable to open display ''
Hi I have been unable to view gnuplot images or run the test command even with my terminal type set to x11, as x11 just aborts.

Re: Does cygwin support xim?
Hi, I have ported a Vietnamese keyboard application from linux to cygwin, but it can't run as I want. When it ran, it warned that Cannot load either en_US.UTF-8 or vi_VN.UTF-8 lo. To use this program you must have one of these locales installed. Despite it ran but it didn't have any effect on keyboard. I want to ask you that Is cygwin/x support xim?. At least there are some xim server for Japanese, kinput: http://www.on.cs.keio.ac.jp/~maru/cygwin-xfree-jp-supplement/ imeproxy: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/imeproxy/ Also I posted xim server which uses Windows IME. http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-01/msg00066.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-01/msg00067.html I'm not sure but the last statements I heard told there are only very few locales supported in cygwin. Maybe you should try using the X11 locale support in the application. Use -DX_LOCALE when compiling and see /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlocale.h Cygwin's locale support is limited, so X is compiled with X Locale. There are following lines in cygwin.cf #define StandardDefines -D__i386__ -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN -DX_LOCALE \ -D_X86_ -D__CYGWIN__ -D_XOPEN_SOURCE ... So, if use Imakefile, imake adds -DX_LOCALE. I can find vi_VN.tcvn and vi_VN.viscii in xc/nls, but not find vi_VN.UTF-8 though. I don't know about Vietnamese locale well, but maybe someone have to write vi_VN.UTF-8. zakki. -- Kensuke Matsuzaki mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://peppermint.jp
XWin minimal installation
This might be of interest to some people in the list, so there it goes. I've just finished making a small distribution of X/Cygwin (only 2Mb), and have placed it in the following address: http://www.iteisa.com/xmins/ (xmins--XWin Minimal Installation) What I've done basically is take the necessary cygwin and X/Cygwin files and package them in a convenient (and small, I might add) way, so that I can carry it around in a usb stick, or download it in a short time from the internet in case of need. I know it's not a full X/Cygwin server (most extensions are not working, like xkb or xfixes), but it's enough to i.e. run a remote gnome session or start some programs through ssh in a remote host. There are some things I don't actually like about how it has turned out, actually, the main being that it doesn't support xkb(it always said couldn't load keymap, I think it's because of the binary- mounting /tmp thingy) and that it is needing windows scripting host right now to ask for a host to query. For the later the solution would be to create a frontend to allow selecting most of the xserver options such as -query -indirect, etc... This frontend would also allow me to delete all those awfull entries from the start menu (there are 9 right now) -- Juan José Gutiérrez de Quevedo Director Técnico ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ITEISA (http://www.iteisa.com)

I've just finished making a small distribution of X/Cygwin (only 2Mb), and have placed it in the following address: http://www.iteisa.com/xmins/ (xmins--XWin Minimal Installation) Ooo aa! I'm wondering if this can be used to create a bundled application package and hence install script for apps dependent on Cygwin/X11??? That would be very nice indeed! The application I have in mind is Scribus. Which we finally have a nice recipe for installing version 1.2.1 via Cygwin at: http://wiki.scribus.net/Installing_Scribus_on_Win32 But I know it could become even more accessible to an even wider audience if we could create a fairly small bundled installer type of package. My first initial tests came out way to large in size do to all the many files that were included but didn't need to be. :) Excellent work!

I don't see anywhere that you provide the source to the utilities in your binary package. This is required under the GPL. As far as I know you're not allowed to just say get them from cygwin.com, you must offer them from the same place as the binaries. Brian

Does this also work, if I install the Xmins on the USB-Stick? So that I can use it like XliveUSB-Stick (like the XliveCD from http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/?
