upgraded cygwin and Xfree to latest releases "Alt-r" sequence doesn't work anymore
(I've used XEV to investigate) Pressing alt key alone works normally (xev able to see "keypress" and "keyrelease" event for "Alt_L" key) Pressing "r" key alone is also ok (ditto) But when pressing in sequence, the "r" up and down events are missing (I have no problem with other alphabetic keys) Any idea? -- 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/

So, if you can't try the workaround, perhaps you could do a bit of investigation? Download the latest snapshot built with debugging enabled from [1] Run it using 'WIN_DEBUG_MESSAGES=1 ./XWin -logverbose 3 ' Open up an xterm You should then be able to see WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages being delivered in the debug output from XWin when you use the trackpoint scrolling. Are they being delivered on time, or only when you release the the button? -- 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/

I can clearly see these events in xev. Result is that I don't really experience scrolling, rather jumping up and down with a random-like distance. With trackpoint I mean that red button in the middle of a Lenovo laptop. (Mouse wheel scrolling works perfect, in contrast.) Have you tried the workaround given in [1] ? According to the internet, the trackpoint driver tries to be too clever and doesn't send WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages, but tries to fiddle with the Windows scrollbars directly itself, which obviously isn't going to work well for an X window :S [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-trackpoint I can't find any of the files tp4*.dat on my PC (I'm running Windows 7) - see console output below.

I've done this with mintty on my machine as follows: --- TP4scrol-orig.dat 2011-12-11 16:33:22.742741700 -0500 +++ TP4scrol.dat2011-12-30 00:59:46.793965200 -0500 @@ -24,6 +24,9 @@ ; Pass 0 rules (These rules run first) ;;; +; mintty +*,*,mintty.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9 + ; Windows IE3 patch for 2 button systems *,*,iexplore.exe,*,Shell DocObject View,HTML_Internet Explorer,Standard,0,5 I assume the line for X apps would be the similar. Note that you have to put the same line in TP4table.dat, then kill and restart all the TP* processes. One of them (sorry, can't remember which) is the "parent" process and will start the others if it sees they're missing. Good luck!
