[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated xorg-server-1.8.2-1
The following package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution: *** xorg-server-1.8.2-1 *** xorg-server-dmx-1.8.2-1 This is an update to the latest upstream release of the X servers. Support for RANDR display resizing was added. In windowed mode, this requires the XWin -resize option; in multiwindow mode, the display will automatically resize to match a change in Windows display resolution. See XWin(1) for details. Additional patches: - Generate X keycodes for multimedia keys. - Update mapping for Canadian keyboard layouts. - Add -resize command line option. - Internal WM workaround for Java AWT bug. - Fix a GDI bitmap resource leak of window icons. - Store pthread_ids and chain IOError handlers to avoid longjmp across threads. - Make select() poll and not block if there are unprocessed Windows messages. - Better keyboard debugging output. - Show any fatal error message.

Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which is not the default? That would give a track before going in the details of unix fonts literature. Thank you for your help.

In windowed mode, this requires the XWin -resize option; in multiwindow mode, the display will automatically resize to match a change in Windows display resolution. See XWin(1) for details. I'm afraid I made a mistake when updating the XWin(1) man page when adding the description of '-resize'. '-resize' is also required in multiwindow mode to activate resize support. Also, something like the following needs to be added: In -multwindow or -rootless mode, if the X screen is of the same dimensions as a Windows monitor or the virtual desktop, the X server will respond to the WM_DISPLAYCHANGED sent when those dimensions change by resizing the X screen. Changing the size of the X screen using the RANDR extension is not permitted. We'll probably make -resize on by default in -multiwindow mode in the future, after more testing and feedback. Additional patches: - Generate X keycodes for multimedia keys. - Update mapping for Canadian keyboard layouts. - Add -resize command line option. - Internal WM workaround for Java AWT bug. - Fix a GDI bitmap resource leak of window icons. - Store pthread_ids and chain IOError handlers to avoid longjmp across threads. Just to clarify, this should fix the problem of X crashing during shutdown, leaving behind a stale lock file. Which should in turn fix the problem of not being able to start X if it was previously run by an Administrator if you aren't an Administrator. If there are still problems with multiple users of X on the same computer, either sequentially or in parallel, we'd like to hear about them. - Make select() poll and not block if there are unprocessed Windows messages. - Better keyboard debugging output. - Show any fatal error message. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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: XWin crash after the launch of startkde on a remote Red Hat 5 machine
2010/8/3 Michel Hummel hummel.mic...@gmail.com:
Hello,
I'm using cygwin on Microsoft Windows XP with XWin version :
sh-3.2# XWin.exe -version
Welcome to the XWin X Server
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.8.0.0 (1080)
Build Date: 2010-04-02
Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
I think I have found a bug in the XWin reset procedure which leads to
the start of two clipboard thread's and sometime to a crash of the X
server.
The crash can be produced by lauching startkde on a Red Hat 5 remote
machine (The crash should arrive after some minutes of work)
but the bug can simply be produced like this :
On my installation if I launch Xwin with this options :
XWin :0 -ac
then I do
xsetroot -solid '#00'
After setting the color, Xwin launches its reset procedure because
there is no more client connected ( the server loses the color but it
is the normal comportment isn't it ?
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-01/msg00106.html)
The problem comes from the clipboard thread. In this example, when the
server launches its reset procedure, the clipboard is in state
Launched but is not in state Started (Boolean variable about
clipboard status, see file hw/xwin/winclipboardthread.c).
This particular status of the ClipboardThread during server reset is
normaly managed by two if statements :
* An if in the file hw/xwin/InitOutput.c disables the exit of the
clipboard thread in this state
Extract of the file hw/xwin/InitOutput.c (with line number) :
169 winClipboardShutdown (void)
170 {
171 /* Close down clipboard resources */
172 if (g_fClipboard g_fClipboardLaunched g_fClipboardStarted)
173 {
174 /* Synchronously destroy the clipboard window */
175 if (g_hwndClipboard != NULL)
176 {
177 SendMessage (g_hwndClipboard, WM_DESTROY, 0, 0);
178 /* NOTE: g_hwndClipboard is set to NULL in
winclipboardthread.c */
179 }
180 else
181 return;
182
183 /* Wait for the clipboard thread to exit */
184 pthread_join (g_ptClipboardProc, NULL);
185
186 g_fClipboardLaunched = FALSE;
187 g_fClipboardStarted = FALSE;
188
189 winDebug (winClipboardShutdown - Clipboard thread has exited.\n);
190 }
191 }
* An if statement in the file hw/xwin/winclipboardwrappers.c
prohibits the launch of clipboard thread if one is already Launched.
Extract of the file hw/xwin/winclipboardwrappers.c (with line number)
256 /* If the clipboard client has already been started, abort */
257 if (g_fClipboardLaunched)
258 {
259 ErrorF (winProcEstablishConnection - Clipboard client already
260 launched, returning.\n);
261 return iReturn;
262 }
The problem is that the Boolean variables g_fClipboardLaunched and
g_fClipboardStarted are re-initialized by the server reset procedure
(function winInitializeGlobals of the file hw/xwin/winglobals.c)
Extract of the file hw/xwin/winglobals.c (with line number)
128 /*
129 * Re-initialize global variables that are invalidated 130 * by a
server reset.
131 */
132
133 void
134 winInitializeGlobals (void)
135 {
136 g_dwCurrentThreadID = GetCurrentThreadId ();
137 g_hwndKeyboardFocus = NULL;
138 #ifdef XWIN_CLIPBOARD
139 g_fClipboardLaunched = FALSE;
140 g_fClipboardStarted = FALSE;
141 g_iClipboardWindow = None;
142 g_pClipboardDisplay = NULL;
143 g_atomLastOwnedSelection = None;
144 g_hwndClipboard = NULL;
145 #endif
146 }
The consequence of this Re-initialization in this particular situation
is that the clipboard thread is launched two times and sometimes leads
to a crash of the X server.
You can see the double launch of the clipboard thread at the end of
the attached log file Xwin.0.log ( 2 times the sentence :
winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened
the display. )
To fix this bug I purpose to remove the variables g_fClipboardLaunched
and g_fClipboardStarted of the winInitializeGlobals (void) function,
as their re-initializations are handled in in the files :
hw/xwin/InitOutput.c.
That what is doing the patch Attached to this email.
Regards,
Michel Hummel
Hello,
I didn't saw any response to my patch proposition, did someone tried it ?
If I didn't posted it in the good place where should I have to
I will be happy to explain the problem if my first mail wasn't clear.

RE: How to launch an xterm using Monospace font
JOHNER Jean wrote: Has anybody been able to launch xterm with a font (any is welcome) which is not the default? Jean, I think this is what you want. I have: XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* in my .Xdefaults Other than colors, here is my .Xdefaults (in my home directory, natch): XTerm*scrollBar: on XTerm*saveLines: 9 XTerm*font: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*visualBell: true XTerm*titeInhibit: true urxvt*secondaryScreen: false The most important part is the XTerm*titeInhibit: true, it is beyond me why that isn't the default everywhere (it prevents a screen clear when you're, say, done reading a man page). I want to get rid of the title bar but haven't explored that as I launch most of my xterms from a script. Extract: nohup xterm -name $h -title $h -ls -mc none +tb +mb -vb -sb -sl 9 -background grey95 -fg black -cr black -ms black -font -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* -e ssh -Yq r...@$h /dev/null 21 Naturally $h is the server :) To get the fonts I launched xfontsel and went through it and experimented. Use the 'select' button to put the string into the buffer.
