RE: many spurious equals sign in xterm?
Billy provided the (pointer to the) solution. Which was working for me to fix coincident problems. Greg and misc had the same problem. I'm again seeing quick edit in cmd not work well, took the battery out, still not working, maybe I really need to put it back? - Jay > Date: Fri, 29 May 2009 20:47:39 -0700 > From: cgwalnut > Subject: many spurious equals sign in xterm? > To: jay > > > > Hi, > I found your posting about cygwin at this link: > http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-01/msg00113.html > > I found a solution that worked for me discussed here: > http://annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/1225339908 > > It's silly, but popping the battery out of the laptop removed the issue, and > the FilterKeys discussion was dead-on. > Just a suggestion if you haven't found one yet (I noticed there were no > replies in your thread - I first had this issue a few months ago and it took > until now to get it resolved). > > Good luck. > -- 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: Dual Screen XDMCP Session

Mind you with persistence a lot can be done with dual screens but insecure XDMCP mode is maybe not the best way to do things nowadays?

Rather than naming all your screens, it sounds like you want to use the -multimonitors options, which gives you a single X screen which covers the entire Windows desktop Alternatively, if the applications you are running are Xinerama-aware, -screen 0 @1 -screen 1 @2 +xinerama may be better (although Xinerama mode has currently has a few restrictions, as noted in [2]) Add -nodecoration to remove the window borders As always, the man page [1] is your friend [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/man1/XWin.1.html [2] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2009-02/msg7.html -- 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/
Dual Screen XDMCP Session
Hey Folks, I've been trying to use Xming with very little success for this task but apparently it can be done using cygwin too. Now this task could be impossible on both applications so I just wanted to check if anyone thought it was possible. On my computer at work I've got a dual head set up (two 1280x1024 screens side by side) and I've been blissfully using Linux on it for the last 2 years. Only now they've demanded all machines must run Vista so I've had to reinstall.

I realise this isn't a Xming newsletter but I'm open to suggestions on how to achieve this with either Cygwin/X or Xming... Xming doesn't seem to have a forum, newsgroup, or indeed any kind of community. Any suggestions would be most definately appreciated! I need to cover up the fact I'm running Vista... it disgusts me!

-clipboard has been broken by Microsoft .NET sp1
Microsoft's latest high priority update for .NET 3.5 SP1 for XP has broken the -clipboard option to XWin. I have seen the following behavior on 2 PCs so far using cygwin 1.5: before the MS update all works fine after the update, any paste function in vim, or xterm, or wherever causes an immediate crash removing the -clipboard option to the XWin and everything works fine again (except of coarse copying between X and windows) -- 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/
