I do not use startx: for me, it sets up unnecessary or inconvenient
defaults.

1. Start bash

then

2. run XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow & 
3. xterm -display localhost:0.0 -title Columbia 

works fine for me ...

You haven't specified exactly *how* you invoke the applications on
Linux,
but I suspect they are X applications and you invoke them via the X
forwarding feature of ssh.  This makes your question off-topic for the
main list, and on-topic for the cygwin-xfree list (which the Reply-To of
this message points to).  If you aren't using X, please follow-up to the
main list with more details.

As for your problem, in the absense of more information, it looks like
you're seeing weird Num-Lock-related behavior, which is a known problem
with Cygwin/X.  Try using the digits above the alphabetical keys instead
of the keypad.  I also seem to recall some recipes for making Num-Lock
work properly -- searching the cygwin-xfree archives may help.

Scott,

Another thing to check is whether you're hitting the limitations of
untrusted X forwarding (see the Cygwin/X FAQ entry on ssh).  Also, does
this problem occur only in those applications, or in any X application
(e.g., an xterm)?  If the latter, you may have keyboard mapping issues
--
the output from pressing those keys in xev might help.  If the former,
try
eliminating ssh as the culprit (e.g., temporarily opening up the local X
server with "xhost +" and setting the DISPLAY on the remote machine to
connect directly to the local server).

It would also help to know what you use to start your local X (there is
no
such thing as startx.sh -- there's "startxwin.sh", "startxwin.bat", or
"startx").  Do you have a ~/.Xserverrc?  What window manager are you
using?

Igor,

I am using the -Y option so I do not think it is a limitation of
untrusted forwarding. The problem does not occur in xterm or konsole
applications. It only seems to occur in two design applications I have
tried: Cadence IC works and Slam edit.  
You are correct there is no startx.sh.  I am using startxwin.sh here. I
am using the following command lines:
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multimonitors
-emulate3buttons 100 &

xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e
/usr/bin/bash -l &

In this case, I am using the integrated windows based windows manager. I
do not have a ~/.Xserverrc. I have considered trying the twm option. I
will try to rule out ssh. Thanks for your help.

don't type xinit in an xterm -- if you have an xterm running -- they you

Igor,
Thank you for your reply. Indeed I am using the X forwarding features of
ssh. I read somewhere (in my many searches) that there could be some
hardware related issues to the num-lock, so I will follow that thread.
Unfortunately, I am trying to use the digits above the alphabetical keys

your help and sorry for the post to the wrong mailing list.

Install hangs when installing xorg-x11-fenc-6.8.1.0-2

2005-12-06 Thread Peter Andersson


Hi!

It downloads correctly, but when installing:

usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/adobe-dingbats.enc.gz

it stops. If left alone for some hours it eats up all memory and crashes.

Have tried with previous versions, but setup stops when encountering the first 
.gz file.

Using setup.exe 2.510.2.2

Any tips?

Regards,
/:Peter
