Re: Cygwin StartXwin cursor

2012-02-17 Thread dion

Yes, I did see x-cross cursor, but I also see the 
window arrow cursor. When I move the mouth, 
the arrow cursor moves. Is there any way to 
hide the arrow pointer.

Re: XWin.exe: _XSERVTransSocketUNIXAccept: accept() failed

 I have recently noticed that XWin.exe is spinning and maxing out a CPU

Thanks for reporting this.

This  seems to be related in some way to how you start the X server.  Starting
it using startxwin.exe (the recommended method), I don't observe this problem,
but using your startxwin.bat, I can reproduce the problem.

The obvious difference here between these two cases is that we don't have a
cygwin process as our immediate ancestor when started from a batch file, but
how that could make a difference is a bit mysterious.

This seems to be some sort of regression introduced with the cygwin 1.7.10
DLL, downgrading to 1.7.9 doesn't show the problem (although that is
problematic as base-files now depends on tzset introduced in 1.7.10)

 X seems to be behaving normally in spite of this.  I typically run only
 xterm and nedit (many instances) locally.
 
 I have verified that the Windows firewall has a blanket allow rule for
 XWin.exe.
 
 I can't place the exact update that caused this problem, but I believe it
 was not having this issue in December 2011.  I am never more than a week
 behind on updating cygwin.  I tried falling back to the previous 1.11.4-2
 version of xorg-server, but it failed to start.  Perhaps a version conflict
 with some of the other updated packages?

As the announce mail says, you need to upgrade xorg-server and libGL1 at the
same time.  If you downgrade xorg-server, you need to also downgrade libGL1.

XWindows graphics Subroutines

2012-02-17 Thread Ron Hadley
Gentlemen:

  I am trying to port XWindows graphics code from my Linux workstation
to my PC using cygwinX. I cannot find the XWindows graphics subroutines
(routines that start with X) anywhere in the cygwin library. The file I
thought should contain them, cygwin/lib/libX11.a contains similar routines
with different names, for which I can find no documentation. Can you direct
me to either the XWindows library or the documentation for the routines in
libX11.a? Thank you

I'm not sure which Xlib function you are looking for, but there should be no
difference in the Xlib API between linux and cygwin/x.

The libX11-devel package which contains that library also contains man pages
for the functions it provides [1]
