Mouse pointer disappearing
Forgive me if this has been asked before, I did search, honest. :) I use XWin all the time on my Windows box, mostly with a bunch of xterms and gvim windows open from machines around the network and the world. I run with Xmouse (from M$'s tweakUI). The startup string I use in /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat is: run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multiplemonitors -nowinkill and then I kick off and initial xterm with: run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l Every so often and I have been unable to find a pattern, the mouse pointer will disappear when over any XWin window. It doesn't matter which kind of cursor should be displayed, I see none, even over the title bar. The only solution I have found is to close all the windows and close the X Server from the systray. Even the warning window that pops up has no mouse pointer. Does anyone know what's likely to be causing this? Or how to get the pointer back when it happens without losing my windows? Or do I have something configured wrong? Any help appreciated.

Re: Mouse pointer disappearing
Hi, This is an old bug. The 'Show Cursor' menu item on the taskbar X is a cludge/bodge to fix this without restarting the server. Removal of all the winSetCursor and software cursor code fixed the problem permanently for me. Assuming you can only use the Hardware Cursor!

latest ver, bug reports
What is the latest stable and beta versions of Cygwin/X? and where do I get the beta from? When I run xwin.exe, i get: Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Where do I post bug reports for Cygwin/X? 1. When I move a window from one monitor to a 2nd, it doesn't fill in the body until I move it back to the first. ^Carl Karsten -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

1. When I move a window from one monitor to a 2nd, it doesn't fill in the body until I move it back to the first. winScreenInit - Monitors do not all have same pixel format / display depth. Using primary display only. That explains that. ^C -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Auto hidden taskbar stays hidden
Hi list, I use an auto hiding taskbar. If an application, e.g. xterm or a native windows application is maximized, the task bar does not appear if the mouse pointer is moved to the border of the desktop. If no window is maximized, it works as expected. Is this a bug or my fault? :-) Best regards, Thomas Gilgin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
