RE: Two issues with Xwin
* using a terminal and a shell I often have to enter Enter or Tab twice to get the desired effect. How come? Which effect do you desire? (Filename completion, command completion, ...)? Which shell? How did you configure it? (i.e. if you are talking about readline functionality, what's the content of your .inputrc, and did you make sure it gets read?).

Windows fonts usage?
Is there a way to use/convert the fonts which come with Windows, for usage with Cygwin/X, when running XWin.exe in Multiwindow mode?

Re: XWin 100% after laptop lid close (with no action)
Nick nick at ioncube.com writes: Other than not closing the lid, does anyone have any workarounds to try or further handle on this issue? Unfortunately I didn't find a resolution for the Cygwin problem on Vista, but a solution that works perfectly is to use the Xming X server rather than the Cygwin server. Hope this helps others hitting the same issues.

(Filename completion, command completion, ...)? The desired effect for the Enter key would be to normal enter function of a shell. Tab should do file and command completion. Which shell? zsh How did you configure it? (i.e. if you are talking about readline functionality, what's the content of your .inputrc, and did you make sure it gets read?). I don't think the content of $INPUTRC is relevant when talking about Enter and Tab having no effect on the first try. Anyway, I have no problem with that in rxvt or cmd - only in X.

The `-e bash' was added when I tried to figure out what went wrong (perhaps the -u8 not working issue, but I do not remember exactly). It does not work as intended. The purpose of $@ here is to pass special xterm flags like `-cjk'.

Do you have some background information why this happens and when? Because I have the feeling that sometime it happens after a few minutes and sometimes after hours or not at all. No, I don't. You can check the email archives for more, though I don't recall if there was more in the way of specific details or not. It is definitely a random occurrence. I don't see it very much myself but I do use the Xming server more regularly than the Cygwin version. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

RE: RE: Two issues with Xwin
* Ronald Fischer (Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:57:34 +0200) This suggest that different dot-files are sourced in the two cases. When I run bash (in my case) either from cmd or started by XWin, I also have differences in which dot-files are sourced, so this is the first place you might want to look. There is just one configuration file in this case: ~/.zshrc. And I don't have any setting that would have the do nothing on the first enter; wait for the second enter effect. -- 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/
Running Cygwin on Vista
Hello, I have been trying to run Cygwin on my new laptop running Vista Home Premium and I am having a really tough time. Initially, the command startx was not recognised so I downloaded all the x11 packages. I then ran cygwin again without rebooting, the startx command was then recognised and an xterm window was opened. I tried to connect to Columbus but the ssh command was not recognised so I decided to reboot and start again and now after the reboot I run cygwin and type startx it does accept the command and starts however gives the message linked dll data write copy failed and it does not open the xterm. I also started reading about the problem on the net where some claim that cygwin works for them on vista and other see link http://www.trnicely.net/misc/vista.html claim that it is a problem with that required a microsoft fix. I need your help.
