updating to cygwin 1.7.1: X not starting + font problem [SOLVED]
Hello, I wanted to share some of my experiences when upgrading to cygwin 1.7.1: XWin would not start, /var/log/XWin.0.log reporting the following error: (EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0) After some time, I figured out the source of the problem: /bin/sh disappeared: this was fixed with ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh Another problem related to fonts was fixed by mkfontdir Regards, Jfs -- 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/

Did you have a message box about in-use processes during your update? Might be better to reinstall the bash package in case anything else wasn't set up correctly, but make sure you quit all Cygwin processes first.

Why XWin expose multiple visuals with same depth/colormap ?
Hello, It seems that XWin exposes a lot of Visuals with same caracteristics (depth / colormap). xdpyinfo displays 33 visuals of 2 type : TrueColor / 24 bits DirectColor / 24 bits Is there a reason to expose 15 identical TrueColor visuals and 16 identical DirectColor visuals ?
