Re: XWin starts but hangs as soon as I start an X-application
I can no longer reproduce the problem. Whatever it was, it seems to have sorted itself out in that queasy "just try rebooting 50 times" way that windows 'fixes' iteself. Gah.

Re: XWin starts but hangs as soon as I start an X-application
Yikes. I turned off VirusScan on-access and buffer overflow checking, then xterm ran. So happy it was running, I forgot what I was doing and fixed some missing fields in my .xdefaults file (changed Xterm to xterm) and opened another window. No problem. xclock now runs, no problem. Re-enable buffer overflow and access scan, and guess what? they both still work. Put back configuration file. Still works. wtf? I'll try rebooting and see if the problem reappears.

I do have an evil logitech mouse, but I thought I forced it to use the stock ms drivers. It's possible that I already have the unwanted/conflicting software, but that it wasn't a problem until I upgraded to the most recent cygwin1.dll. I'll see if I can find the list of evil applications then check if I have any of them installed, and also try using an older cygwin.dll to see if the problem disappears. I noticed that in the case of xterm, its associated shell also starts and the xterm process cannot be killed until the corresponding shell has also been killed, not from taskmanager, cygwin, etc. On the other hand, even typing 'xterm -version' hangs before any output is produced. It's almost as if the output pipe isn't being created properly, but ps doesn't show xterm in the I state. What I'm trying to say is that the problem seems to happen when output is produced. Note that even if the $DISPLAY variable isn't set, xterm still hangs (you'd expect it to spit out an error message and die). So I'd wager the problem is related to writing to stdout, not to X. I'll take another look to see if I have any of the non-recommended applications, such as logitech stuff, that might be interfering. -- 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/

I think you'll find that solves the problems you were seeing. Logitech drivers are known to cause problems. Cygwin is one of its lucky affected applications. Search the email list archives for "dodgy apps" to find a list of software with buggy versions which can cause problems like this. You're right. I've just uninstalled the logitech webcam and x-applications now work!! PS: wierd -- the logitech webcam uninstaller mandated that I terminated ALL applications before the deinstallation could proceed. -- 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/

An email list can't have a reply button, because an email itself has no reply button. I assume you are reading a list archive with your Webbrowser.

X forward problem
HI, all: Sorry to bother your guys. I am trying to set up a sshd server on a super computer running on XP and set up putty on my laptop under XP too. I want my laptop to run under X window, but I really have a trouble. I searched several days on google, mailing list, FAQ, user guide 1. How can I reply email on this list? I didn't see any reply button. I cannot start a new thread every time. 2. If do I need to install x server (xorg-x11-base) on both server and laptop? 3. I can not start X server on my laptop and super computer.
