new cygwin/x11 and backingstore
Hi, Before updating Cygwin/X with the new version (X11R7) I launched Xwin with this command : XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error +bs & and the backingStore option worked correctly in a graphic window (built with tcl/tk8.4 and Xlib). Now, it doesn't work. When the graphic window is overlapped its contents is corrupted by the top window. I didn't have this problem with the beta-version in november 2009. What have changed since? Thanks for your help, Best regards Anne -- 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/

An alternative is to change the permissions on /var/log as above, if you don't mind letting all your users see, and be able to delete or modify, all the cygwin logfiles, but I don't see it as any better.

Re: bug report/suggested temp. patch: handling bursts of sent keys
Given there doesn't seem to be anyone competent enough to attempt a more ambitious patch, I think we should apply the temporary patch. How should we/I. go about doing this? The Cygwin X website and contributors documentation doesn't actually say how to do this. The patch is enclosed at the end. - Thanks, Mark $ diff -u mieq.c~ mieq.c --- mieq.c~ 2009-10-15 21:38:27.0 -0700 +++ mieq.c 2010-02-04 16:42:30.773405200 -0800 @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ # include #endif -#define QUEUE_SIZE 512 +#define QUEUE_SIZE 25000 #define EnqueueScreen(dev) dev->spriteInfo->sprite->pEnqueueScreen #define DequeueScreen(dev) dev->spriteInfo->sprite->pDequeueScreen -- 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/
Cygwin/X 1.7 keyboard/mouse freeze shortly after Xwin login to Solaris
I am having a problem similar to the one mentioned by Tony Bennett in a couple of messages to this list back in January. I use XWin -query to establish an XDMCP connection to a Solaris 10 host (Tony's was AIX). I log in to Solaris CDE without any issues. Then as soon as I open and close one of the CDE "panels", XWin no longer responds to keystrokes or mouse clicks. Moving the mouse around works fine, and hovering the mouse over a window with a tooltip (for example the perfmeter) still causes the tooltip to be displayed, but clicking and keystrokes are ignored. The only recourse is to terminate XWin from the X icon in the system tray or from Task Manager. As an experiment, I tried running GNOME rather than CDE as my desktop session, and that worked a little better, but as soon as I started a Motif-based application (IBM/Rational Apex Ada development environment), the keyboard and mouse clicks died again. Running CDE and Apex on the same Solaris box via Cygwin/X 1.5 works flawlessly. This problem only started occurring with 1.7. I even tried compiling xorg-xserver 1.7.4.0 from source to see if there was a problem specific to 1.7.3.0, but it behaved the exact same way. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
