Re: XWin.exe crashes
executing XWin export DISPLAY=:0.0 setxkbmap de crashes XWin.exe with a segmentation fault. i also get a core dump please check if /tmp is mounted in binmode good hint, now it works why? what's the problem using text-mounts with XWin?
Re: XWin.exe crashes
I just installed KDE-cygwin, and I haven't gotten it start properly. Based on the errors I'm getting and the FAQs I've read, the suggestion was to make sure the paths are mounted in binmode, which involves changing a registry key. Since I'd prefer not to do that, will this patch work for me as well? you can use setup.exe to change back from textmode to binmode, but the problem is, that most of the programs won't be abled to read the text-files they've writte in textmode. Christopher Faylor always suggests linking with binmode.o - and i would recomm that too, for the KDE-cygwin project. i don't know, why they don't do it - perhaps because binmode.o is too unknown yet. but to request, that the user runs cygwin in binmode is not always possible, because migrating back from text- to binmode takes much time (you have to convert every text-file)

Re: x-server with window-manager
For future reference, Cygwin/XFree86 is not in any way based on Xnest. i tought that i've read something like that. was it Xvfb? but it's not so important... Also, what you are trying to accomplish has nothing to do with whether a window is created by a local X client or by a remote X client with X11 forwarding. OK, that's right, i just took x-forwarding as an example. Now, to answer your question, yes, there is preliminary support for a so-called ``rootless''. However, this ``rootless'' mode still requires an X Window Manager. That is, X clients do not appear within a Windows window, they appear within an X window, but the root window is not displayed so it looks like the X apps are floating above your Windows apps. The release announcement for the ``rootless'' support is here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-10/msg00160.html OK, but how to i start XWin.exe so it will work in rootless-mode? Also, I posted a slightly faster binary, Test 67, that you can download instead of Test 66: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-10/msg00188.html just installed it ...
Re: x-server with window-manager
OK, but how to i start XWin.exe so it will work in rootless-mode? OK, i found out, that i should start XWin -rootless but i still need a window-manager afterwards (like twm) ro have a window-titlebar. will there be a window-manager integrated into XWin that uses Win32-native windows? (native title-bar, buttons, resizing etc.)
x-server with window-manager
hi, is there a project for an x-server with window-manager that integrates remote-windows into the windows-desktop?
Re: x-server with window-manager
I realize that English is probably not your native language, but could you elaborate on your question a little bit? I cannot understand what you are asking. should better read next time: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html it says: Seamless integration with Windows that was what i asked for. have you already started to implements that feature?
Re: x-server with window-manager
I realize that English is probably not your native language, but could you elaborate on your question a little bit? I cannot understand what you are asking. Is there a project, that is developing a x-server that has an integrated window-manager so that x-forwarded windows will appear like ms-windows' native ones? I think cygwin's current x-server is based on Xnest so that all the x-forwarded windows will appear within one big window which is my XFree-Desktop and they do not seamlessly integrate into the ms-windows-desktop.
