selection to clipboard in xterm
Hello, a couple of weeks ago I installed cygwin (1.7.5) on my new Win7-PC. On my old XP-PC the xterm-selection was a highly appreciated function to make some text accessible in the windows clipboard by simply highlighting it with the mouse, but with my new PC that does not work any more. Selections do not affect the content of the clipboard. Checking/unchecking the Select to Clipboard item under VT Options does not change anything. Any idea what the problem is and how I could get this working? Thanks for any support. Sven -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Dipl. Inform.

Re: XWin crash after the launch of startkde on a remote Red Hat 5 machine
Hi Jon, You will find attached to this Email a patch (for the git version) which implements for the clipboard thread : - Auto cleanup function - Auto restart function for unexpected exit of the clipboard or Xerror detection - Deletion of XQuery wrapper (not needed anymore) - Deletion of all the xdmcp related tricks (not needed anymore) One thing, this patch deletes the call to EmptyClipboard () in the winProcSetSelectionOwner function of the winclipboardwrappers.c file when an owned to not owned transition has been detected. I don't know why but it was freezing the server for 1 or 2 seconds during clipboard's restart in xdmcp connection. It would be fine if you could tell me, when you think this patch and the previous one ( which makes the reset of the server working correctly with clipboard) will be included to the official X server?

One question : I have written my patch for the git version of the X server and the patch is not working as it on the 1.8.0-1 version. Which version would you like, perhaps the two ? A patch against current git master is fine, although I don't think there have been significant changes in this area recently, so why it doesn't work for 1.8.0-1 as well is mysterious. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer XWin_patch_restart_clipboard.path Description: Binary data -- 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
I found an error on the previous patch, the clipboard thread was restarting on every X clipboard error. I changed this by adding a test on the request_code error to restart the thread only if the request_code equals to 24 which is the error code for a BadWindow. It seems to me that this is better like this. This new version of the patch is named V2, Sorry for the trouble.
