Maxivista Pseudo Display Adapter
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Has anyone had any experience using Cygwin X with the Maxivista product? The URL for the product is http://www.maxivista.com/ and it works by adding in a display driver which extends the PC to have a further monitor, provided by a second PC. In other words, another PC's screen becomes a second (or in my case, a third) monitor. Windows then extends the desktop to the new monitor. My usual setup is two monitors off a single graphics card. Startxwin.bat uses the following line to kick X off: %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multiplemonitors This works fine with the two normal monitors. However, if the third, Maxivista monitor is activated, an xterm on either of the original monitors freezes. Input is accepted but I see no output in the xterm window until I either move it to the third monitor or disable that monitor. Any suggestions or pointers would be gratefully received. Thanks, Cliff. - -- Cliff Stanford Might Limited +44 845 0045 666 (Office) Suite 67, Dorset House +44 7973 616 666 (Mobile) Duke Street, Chelmsford, CM1 1TB -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEs2mFfNTx9pWyKfwRAmsHAJwJ4G1mZCXMw9x/nwCGPtF0okyUGwCg32cj ND7cOt5ZokoJoE00XW1oCy8= =yt6E -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- 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: Mouse pointer disappearing
Colin Harrison wrote: This is an old bug. I thought it probably was. The 'Show Cursor' menu item on the taskbar X is a cludge/bodge to fix this without restarting the server. Now I feel a fool. I'd never noticed that option. Removal of all the winSetCursor and software cursor code fixed the problem permanently for me. Assuming you can only use the Hardware Cursor! You mean you recompiled it with options removed?

Mouse pointer disappearing
Forgive me if this has been asked before, I did search, honest. :) I use XWin all the time on my Windows box, mostly with a bunch of xterms and gvim windows open from machines around the network and the world. I run with Xmouse (from M$'s tweakUI). The startup string I use in /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat is: run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -multiplemonitors -nowinkill and then I kick off and initial xterm with: run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l Every so often and I have been unable to find a pattern, the mouse pointer will disappear when over any XWin window. It doesn't matter which kind of cursor should be displayed, I see none, even over the title bar. The only solution I have found is to close all the windows and close the X Server from the systray. Even the warning window that pops up has no mouse pointer. Does anyone know what's likely to be causing this? Or how to get the pointer back when it happens without losing my windows? Or do I have something configured wrong? Any help appreciated.

Twin screens
I am running X using the following start-up command: start XWin -multiwindow -nounixkill -clipboard -nowinkill I have recently installed a second monitor onto my system (XP PRO) where the second monitor is to the LEFT of the main screen. The architecture correctly (in my opinion) treats the 0,0 point as being on the new, left-hand screen and everything works fine on that screen. If, however, I drag a window across from the left screen to the main screen, it freezes. Doesn't do anything at all, no input, no refresh. Dragging it back makes it happy again. I assume that it believes it is now off-screen. Cliff. -- Cliff Stanford Might Limited +44 870 199 4137 (Office) Suite 67, Dorset House +44 7973 616 666 (Mobile) Duke Street, Chelmsford, CM1 1TB

Re: Copy / Paste
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Harold L Hunt II [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I have written many messages about this before. I am surprised you haven't seen one yet. Thank you for your excellent responses. I had actually totally missed that there were searchable archives available. *blush* So, development is stuck now since I am working 30 or more hours a week and spending about 20 hours a week on my master's CS degree classes. The code is in the XFIXES_BRANCH in our xoncygwin CVS tree (see the message above for more details, I think), if you are interested in working on it. I've pulled down the tree but I'm not sure that the learning curve isn't going to be too great for me to get to grips with this code. Anyway, you're only working 50 hours a week. Put aside another 14 for sleep and you'll have it done in no time. :-) Good luck on the Masters and thanks for all the effort. Cygwin + XWin has made my life *so* much simpler. Yes, in Windows XP, turn on the 'quick edit' more for the command shell. This enables right-click to paste the current clipboard contents in your Cygwin bash shell. Other than that, good luck. :) Ooh, I never knew that. Thanks again.

No xauth data.
I have a tiny problem with ssh. I run: ssh -X -T -f twin /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -sb -sl 1000 -rightbar -ls and get the line: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. Clearly I'm missing something. But if I run the same thing from a Linux machine which share the same home directory (mounted via samba), I get no warning. Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, Cliff. -- Cliff Stanford Might Limited +44 20 7257 2000 (Office) 17-18 Henrietta Street +44 7973 616 666 (Mobile) London WC2E 8QH
