Windows GUI apps from xterm
Hello all, I am on windows terminal server "win_ts": When executing a windows GUI application such as "calc" from a cygwin shell, it works just fine, without setting any DISPLAY env variable. Now if I connect to terminal server "win_ts" from a unix xterm - I am still on the same terminal server - and try to run "calc", it hangs, but running something like xcalc works fine. It seems that running pure windows GUI app such as "calc" only woks from a cygwin shell, and not connecting to the cygwin shell from a unix xterm even though everything is happening on the same windows terminal server. Please advice. -Mahdi -- 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/

No surprise here. Windows applications don't use X11, so they don't look for DISPLAY. > Now if I connect to terminal server "win_ts" from a unix xterm - I am > still on the same terminal server - and try to run "calc", it hangs, but > running something like xcalc works fine. I'm not sure what you mean by "unix xterm". If that means connecting from a different system, then you can't get calc because calc can't display itself on a X11 Server. If you mean starting calc from cygwins xterm on the same server, as your hint suggests, then you probably run into specific problems a terminal server has (finding the right session). Starting a windows app from cygwin xterm works here without problems. Does calc come up in the tasklist? -- 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/
Re: Xdmcp too slow with SOME Linux accounts.
Thanks -swcursor has eliminated the console messages, and it manages to highlight the extremely slow response. It is taking several seconds for the mouse pointer to move when I move the physical mouse. In fact, I now realize that keyboard is non responsive as well. I'm not seeing any cpu utilization on either system, which gives me the feeling that there is a loop somewhere looking for events and the loop is using a timer or something. Using GUI on the physical Linux box does not have this problem, so I keep guessing that it has something to do with TCP/IP buffering or polling. Guess I'll have to ask a network admin to monitor this connection to confirm or discard that theory.

programs (e.g. xterms) not refreshing properly running on different virtual desktops
Hi, I noticed when I run X and use multiple virtual desktops (using Nvidia nview), xterms and other X applications are not refreshing properly if they are located on different virtual desktops. For example, if I start 2 xterms on desktop 1 and if these xterms overlap, then if I send one of them to desktop 2 and switch to desktop 2, the overlapping region in the xterm on desktop 2 would be shown filled with contents from xterm from desktop 1. This can be fixed by minimizing and restoring xterm window, but it is not an easy solution if one has an X application with multiple windows, since all of them have to be minimized and restored to force refresh. I searched cygwin-xfree mailing list and this problem seems to resemble closely the one mentioned in: http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00138.html as fixed, but it still does not seem to work. I am running X as: %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error the version of the X packages is: 6.8.99.901-1 I also tried it with -multiplemonitors option (even though I am running virtual desktops on a single monitor) but it did not help. Any suggestions?
