Re: vnc btter than X...?
I guess I wasn't clear. I was running VNC in a remote X session. Proper would be to run a VNC client vs. an Xserver. Default behavior for Fedora's Virtual Manager (KVM, Xen, Qemu) is to bring up the virtual system using VNC. VNC is a better solution for a virtual system console.

As it happens, the union mount stuff had an override for setup.hint, but not the entire directory. So, the tarballs themselves magically "showed up" in the release-2 area when I installed them in the release/ area, but release-2 retained the old setup.hint. Fixed. Thanks for tracking it down. -- Chuck -- 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: cygwinx 1.7 beta - crashes runing virt-manager
Ok - just one more FYI - after a shutdown and restart, I once again need -noclipboard... so -extension Composite and -noclipboard are working, -noclipboard seems to fix an intermittent problem. Michael Breuer wrote: Ok - just an FYI - F12+Cygwin 1.7 seems rock solid with -extension Composite. Been up for a while now, tried all sorts of stuff that was problematic earlier. The only anomaly I encountered (minor) was the cursor not tracking correctly in a Virt-viewer window. That was probably pushing things anyway as the proper way is to run VNC remotely, not in a remote X session... but I figured I'd try to break it. Michael Breuer wrote: Ok - that worked. Was able to remove -noclipboard as well. Will use for a while and make sure it stays up... so far, so good.

For example, running virt-manager kills Xwin immediately. Most of the F12 admin tools exhibit this behavior. I tried -swcursor based on some old discussions on this list regarding Java crashing Xwin (from 2007). Doesn't help now :( Anyone have suggestions? I can't even use XDMCP to log-in to Fedora 12 (Constantine), due to random segfaults :-( These seem to be due to a bad interaction between the damage tracking for the Composite extension and damage tracking for the shadow framebuffer. So can you try disabling the composite extension with '-extension Composite'?
