New X server
Hi. I appreciate the work you guys do for Cygwin, but I just got blasted with the new xorg-server update when I was just trying to grab another package. I say blasted because it was not a good thing. Where I used to be able to lay out nice, clean terminal windows across my Windows desktop, I now have a single, monolithic, unresizable Cygwin/X:0.0 window that seems to have a few terminal windows in it and nothing else. These terminal windows are anything but nice and clean, like the previous ones were. They're not resizable, either, and also unmovable. They have clunky menu bars at the top, and some of them overflow the bottom of the Cygwin/X window that they're in, and there's no way to move down and see the overflow. All in all, the update completely broke X for me. What do I need to do to get it usable? I've already read this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html It's not any help. -- 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/
openbox scrambled after xorg 7.4 update
Hi *, I updated my cygwin installation today - several x.org packages were among them. Now (after I have found out that startxwin.bat was moved from /usr/X11R6/bin/ to /usr/bin/), my openbox window manager is not usable anymore: the menues, window titles etc. are not rendered correctly and can't be read anymore. Is openbox supported with the new xorg version? Any other ideas? BTW (OT): xterm comes up with the toolbar displayed now.

Re: Connecting to an XServer with XWin
Just so you all know, it looks like installing the Xorg-related packages on my Solaris 10 machine (not difficult using the Sun Update Manager tool (/bin/updatemanager)) did the trick. No more X resource crashes on things like keyboard input (viz. XKEYBOARD). I hope other people find this useful. Scott Scott Fordin wrote: You know, as it so happens, I've been tracking down a solution to a similar problem I just started experiencing today. In my case though, I just upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and I'm trying to connect to a Solaris 10 box. I can connect, and certain applications work just fine, but a couple (in particular running a Java app withing Firefox 2.x), as soon as a type anything in a form field, Firefox crashes hard with XKEYBOARD resource errors. Based on what I've found today, the problem looks like it might be an X configuration error on the Solaris side, and it relates to Xorg versioning issues. Specifically, my Solaris 10 installation is using older versions of Xorg-related files; the new version of Ubunutu and, I gather, of the Cygwin/X server use new Xorg files. I'm in the process of applying a bunch of update patches to my Solaris box. In particular, patch 119059-45 was identified on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/292973. We'll see if it works. Anyway, don't know if this might be any help to you. Scott jose isaias cabrera wrote: You might also want to check your firewall settings.

I say blasted because it was not a good thing. It's perhaps somewhat unfortunate that cygwin setup doesn't default to keep rather than curr, or at least remember your preference from last time, but that's not my area. Where I used to be able to lay out nice, clean terminal windows across my Windows desktop, I now have a single, monolithic, unresizable Cygwin/X:0.0 window that seems to have a few terminal windows in it and nothing else. These terminaman xl windows are anything but nice and clean, like the previous ones were. They're not resizable, either, and also unmovable. It sounds like you have somehow lost -multiwindow from the command used to start the X server (so the server is operating in the default, windowed mode). You don't say how you're starting the X server so I can't guess how that might be. You might try starting the X server via the link under Cygwin X in the start menu. They have clunky menu bars at the top, and some of them overflow the bottom of the Cygwin/X window that they're in, I'm guessing these terminal windows are Xterms. This is a consequence of an update to Xterm. Run xterm +tb, or add XTerm*toolBar: false to ~/.Xdefaults and there's no way to move down and see the overflow. All in all, the update completely broke X for me. What do I need to do to get it usable?

Re: Small update for X server 1.5.3 patch set
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Jon TURNEY wrote: Please find at the URL below a small update to the xorg server patch set. Committed; could you please svn up and test? I also changed the log location patch to use a separate log for each display (e.g. XWin.0.log), as is done on Linux; the old XWin.log name is still used when no display was actually launched. What do you think about it? This should fix: * The issue with initial window placement being offscreen on multimonitor systems when some monitors have negative coordinates (are to the left of or above the primary monitor) I'll have to take your word on that. * Honours the requested geometry more strictly (so windows which save their position don't get moved by the decoration width every time they are created), whilst still avoiding decoration being lost off the top or left edge of the display. Confirmed. New is from-xming-patch4-dont-center-dialogs-bogusly.patch, which erm... stops us bogusly placing the about and exit dialog boxes at the center of the virtual desktop on multimonitor systems. This had already been fixed in Xming. :-) Thanks Colin! All I can say is that there are no regressions on a singlehead.
