XWin and DPI

2006-06-09 Thread Kyle Sluder

Hi all,

Just wondering how hard it would be for XWin to inherit the DPI of the
Windows install it's running on.  I had no idea why my fonts were
incredibly tiny until by chance I ran xdpyinfo and saw the X server
was running at 75 dpi, while Windows runs at 96 dpi.  The FAQ
http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-display-depth-ignored
states that XWin ignores the -dpi parameter, but this is assuredly not
true.  I added -dpi 100 to my startxwin.bat and lo and behold my
freetype fonts are the size they should be.

Any chance the FAQ and the actual .exe can be made consistent?

Re: Cygwin-X with a Latin American Keyboard

Hi!

Patel, Anit Anit.patel at cwpanama.com writes:

 How do I change the Cygwin-X to use a keyboard mapping for a Latin
American
 keyboard.

See man XWin

The layout is la. It is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/la

You call XWin with the option -xkblayout la
You can modify the startxwin script accordingly.

You can also use the command setxkbmap la

bye

STARTXWIN.BAT Hanging Under Win2KPro

2006-06-09 Thread Douglas J. Renze
The subject says it all.

STARTXWIN.BAT is hanging on the startup under Win2KPro.  If I run it, it
will stall out - I can't right-click on the X icon in the system tray to
bring up the menu, and when I examine the processes, it appears that
XWin.exe is running, as well as an xterm.exe process, but no XTerm ever pops
up.

If I kill the process, then start it up *again*, everything pops up just
fine.

Ideas?  If this is something that somebody has encountered before, a simple
pointer in the right direction would do just fine.

TIA.

RE: STARTXWIN.BAT Hanging Under Win2KPro

2006-06-09 Thread Charli Li
I have W2K Professional, and it works just fine.  You may want to edit the
startxwin.bat file to fit your needs. (Rightclick startxwin.bat  edit)  For
your convenience, I wrote up this seperate little batch script (run under
cmd or standalone):

@echo off

C:
set CYGWINBASE=C:\cygwin
set HOME=%CYGWINBASE%\home\[username]
set PATH=%PATH%;%CYGWINBASE%\bin
chdir=%CYGWINBASE%\bin

cd ..
cd usr\X11R6\bin
startxwin.bat

Reply if this helps or not.

Charli

I have not seen a hang per se, but some times I run STARTXWIN.BAT and
nothing happens, I never get the X server or the xterm, sometimes I
get the X server but no xterm.  If I run the script again, I usually
get an xterm.  No errors, no hangs.

Since I'm able to recover by simply rerunning the script, I've not
attempted to track it down.

I've seen this behavior on both Win2KPro and WinXP Pro.
