Ctrl got stuck
Hi, first of all: Thanks for the great cygwin-xfree! I have one major problem with it: Occasionly (approx every 2 hours, sometimes every 5 minutes) it feels like the CTRL-modifier got stuck. I used cat and emacs to see, that in this situations pressing an a is interpreted as CTRL-a. If I press CTRL, the situation is back to normal, but pressing AltGr-something does not give the desired result and makes CTRL got stuck again. Using the funny Show Cursor option of the X-tray-icon repairs the behaviour... for some minutes or hours. Also starting a new xterm -window and closing it repaired the behaviour recently. I conjecture that it has something to do with AltGr. As I use the german keyboard-layout, I have to use AltGr a lot of times while programming C++. I start Xwin with: XWin -dpi 92 -multiwindow -clipboard -multiplemonitors -xkbvariant nodeadkeys -ac I mostly work with a Win2K (with desktop-twister) on a remote linux or colinux maschine. The AltGr hints in the FAQ did not help me, as they turn of AltGr completely and the problem is not the AltGr does not work correctly. In most cases it works. Any ideas?

But unfortunatly there is not much we can do about it. Windows reports alt-gr as simultanious presses of ctrl and alt and we have to detect whether it is alt-gr or the keys are really pressed together. Under heavy load the timeouts (and timestamps) of the events may differ between press and release events. That way you get a control press and an alt-gr release so control gets stuck. the only solution is making the detection more robust. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Re: Ctrl got stuck
Tobias, if you were to type lots of AltGr key combinations, could you reproduce the problem every time?

Re: Emacs problem with Cygwin 1.5.17-1
I remember you, that reinstalling Cygwin 1.5-16-1 (and keeping coreutils 5.3.0-6) Emacs works fine. I would keep 1.5.17-1 because it allow me to build CERNLIB-2005 with a limited number of patches (with 1.5.16-1 there is something more to patch) I have also tried XEmacs 21.4.17-1. It starts and the window shows itself, apparently without problems. Now XWin.log Thanks angelo.

KDE Desktop Size is Larger than Cygwin/X Server Window
I am using Cygwin/X to access a KDE 3.3.0 desktop running on top of Debian and a Colinux 0.6.2 Kernel. The viewing area of the KDE desktop is larger than the visible screen area within the Cygwin/X server window. However, I am getting no scrolling bar that lets me move around the entire KDE desktop. Unfortunately, at least one application window when opened on the KDE desktop is not completely visible because I cannot see the entire KDE desktop. Basically the KDE desktop is not being scaled into the Cygwin/X window and I can also not scroll around the desktop. What is the problem? Is there a feature I need to enable for either desktop scaling or a scrolling bar (similar to what VNC offers)? I am getting the following error in the Cygwin/X console window when it starts up: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! Could the above error message be the cause of the problem described above? /Ross BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:MacGillivray;Ross FN:Ross MacGillivray NOTE:Sip Phone: 1-747-244-0663 TEL;HOME;VOICE:250-545-7607 ADR;HOME:;;4012 19th Street;Vernon;B.C.;V1T 7Y3;Canada LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:4012 19th Street=0D=0AVernon, B.C.
