in a command shell (not a bash shell) xwin.exe gave me the error
report that I needed "cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll"
I don't know exactly why the file didn't install by default, but I
found a 3rd party site that had the file.
I really don't trust the file I installed, but the X server starts
with it installed.
I don't know which package would install "cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll"
thank you for you assistance it is greatly appreciated.

X server does not start from bash nor start menu

[ed]

Hello,
I have a newly installed windows XP pro virtual machine that I was
using to test out x/cygwin with empathy and kdenlive, but unfortunatly
I have run into a problem.
The X server will not start. I have tried to startxwin.exe from
the bash shell and I get the following error :
$startxwin
giving up.
startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect
to X server.
startxwin: No such Process (errno 3):  Server error.
$
I have looked for an error log in /var/log, but there is nothing
to view only a sub-directory named xwin with a zero byte file named
".keep-xorg-server"
Also, I have changed the PATH environment variable in Windows to
include C:\cygwin\bin and this also has no affect on the ability to
start the X server.
When I choose to use the start menu entry "XWin Server" I get a
couple of processes named bash.exe and startxwin.exe, but then they
disappear after a few seconds.
I have also added a CYGWIN variable to the environment variables
in the advanced tab of "my computer" properties, but giving the value
of "tty notitle noglob" doesn't resolve the issue either.

Now I am back with a fresh install of windows XP and a minimal
install of cygwin that includes the cygwin default packages and three
additional packages ( xinit, xorg-server, and X-start-menu-icons),
which should give me a minimal install of an X server with the ability
to run at least xterm.
I am Administrator on the Windows machine, and the bash shell
works fine ( I installed midnight commander and nano ),

Any help appreciated.

Re: Is there a Windows clipboard manager that doesn't clash with -clipboard parameter?

I have had awful troubles using XWin with -clipboard.  I don't think
I am doing anything odd with the XP clipboard AFAIK.  Using -clipboard
crashes various applications (tgif) and gives performance issues in 
others (LyX)

I tried a re-install for xwin but it seems to give me the version 
from February, 1.5.3.0 (20090222)

Looking at the package list for cygwin, it appears the xwin package
is obsolete?  

What am I doing wrong?

Great, thx again a lot.

Just a litle PB with the reverseVideo Mode, which became white when you move
another xterm above it, kind of bug with redrawing of the background color. Such
bug disappear with ( C-middle Enable Reverse Video ) x Twice.

Anyhow, thanks for your tips,

That's odd. What kind of keyboard do you have? Maybe there are programs
running which grab some of the keys and translate them to a different kind
of messages.

This is a pretty plain vanilla Win XP Prof SP2 installation.

Can somebody on XP SP2 with a US keyboard please run xev and see if shift

Re: X server window resizes after remote desktop, and can't resize back

[Ed Avis]

Here is another example of the problem where remote desktop causes the
X server window to resize but on logging in locally it doesn't get
restored to its former size.

If the bug is tricky to fix, a possible workaround would be to let the
user manually override the size of the X server window, for example by
enabling the Maximize button.

Here is a second XWin.log showing the problem.  I tried changing the
display size from control panel back and forth a few times, but the X
server window refused to grow back to its former size.

Maybe there could be some logging saying 'I noticed a change in
Windows display size and I am resizing the X window accordingly' or 'I
noticed a change in Windows display size but will not change the X
window size'.  Then one could see what is the intended behaviour.

Mouse pointer disappears

[Ed Avis]

With the current Cygwin X server (or what is as close as I can get to
the current one, because cygwin.com is unreachable for me) I have
noticed that the mouse pointer disappears when the window has focus.
If I just move the pointer over the X server window and it isn't
focused then the pointer changes into a correct X pointer for the
application running in the X server (for example it changes into an
up-down arrow when hovering over the modeline in xemacs).  But as soon
as I click in the X server window to give it focus, the mouse pointer
disappears and remains disappeared as long as the pointer location is
above the X server window, and that window is focused.

I can't reproduce this every time but I have seen it on a few
occasions.  Here is a log file:

X server window resizes after remote desktop, and can't resize back

[Ed Avis]

I remote desktop'd into my XP machine using a smaller display size
than the monitor connected locally.  When I went back in front of the
machine I found that the X server window had shrunk to roughly the
size of the remote desktop screen, but had not grown back again when I
logged in locally.

The maximize button on the window is greyed out and I can't resize the
window using its borders, so there seems to be no way to restore the
original size.  The log (shown below) indicates that the X server did
notice the change of screen size, but for whatever reason didn't
resize its window.

I think it is a bug that the window didn't get restored to its
original size, but I'd also like to request some kind of manual
resizing option (perhaps ungreying the maximize button) so the server
can be fixed if the problem happens again.

--help option for run.exe and XWin.exe

It would be useful if run.exe and XWin.exe had a --help option.  XWin
will print usage if it sees an unrecognized option, but the message
goes to stderr + popup window; --help normally means print usage to
stdout and exit successfully.

Double-clicking on tray icon

[Ed Avis]

Double-clicking on the 'X' icon in the Windows system tray brings up a
dialogue box asking if you want to kill the X server, but I think it
should bring the X window to the foreground (if single-window mode).

Yes, I can reproduce the hang with 4.3.0-50 (actually, I used xemacs not xterm)
but it does not hang in 4.3.0-63.  After I drop the X selection it is no longer
in the Windows clipboard, so that I cannot paste into Notepad.  I don't know if
this is consistent with cut and paste on a native X desktop, but it is a massive
improvement over hanging.  Thanks!

The only X11 application I run is xemacs-21.4.8, shipped with Red Hat
Linux 8.0.  However I just tried pasting some text from gedit into
Windows and that hanged too.

Great, that will make XWin -clipboard a lot safer to use... even if it

As far as I know it quotes only the From header of the previous
message, which is already publicly readable?  I have hidden your
address in this case but I don't think you can require others to keep
hidden something which you have publicly disclosed.

If you're referring to the web archive, and the fact that it applies
some simple obfuscation to From: but not to message bodies, then I'll
change my mailer's behaviour if the list owner requests it.

Yes, I see it.  But I did reboot my machine, as the setup program
suggested.

Anyway I moved XWin.exe.new to XWin.exe and I am now running the
latest version.

I have used -clipboard and I have used xwinclip, but never both at the

That's what I suspected, but the setup program is quite sure it
installed -50... I will check the timestamp on Xwin.exe and make sure
I'm not running an old copy.

Unfortunately even after updating with the setup program and
rebooting, running XWin.exe -clipboard can hang Windows apps when I
try to paste into them.  However I am not sure that I'm even running
the -50 release because I don't see any version banner in XWin.log.
The setup program says I have -50 installed, but is it telling the
truth?  The XWin.log follows.

find bugs I also try to use it for work, and if Windows apps hang
unrecoverably then I can't use the clipboard support.  So you may be
able to swat bugs faster if users can use the software with less risk.

Thanks for looking at this - I will try 4.3.0-50.  (And try running
with -clipboard once again.)

>Regarding xwinclip, you should really be using (XWin -clipboard)

There are a couple of problems with -clipboard (discussed earlier on
this list) which have led me to switch back to xwinclip:

- Clipboard support seems to die, that is, the Windows clipboard and
  the X selection stop affecting one another.  xwinclip also tends to
  die occasionally but when this happens it can be restarted.

- Windows apps hanging when I try to paste into them.  This seems to
  have started since I began using two displays (though I am not 100%
  sure).  This bug reliably kills any Windows application so it is too
  dangerous for me to run XWin with clipboard enabled.  I have not
  seen this problem with xwinclip.

If you could add some means to manually kill and/or restart the
clipboard code inside the X server then I could switch back without
the risk of losing work, and I'd be happy to report the contents of
Xwin.log on the occasions when such a manual restart was necessary.

(In general, I think the clipboard support could be a bit noisier in
its logging since the contents of XWin.log never seems to give much
away about clipboard or selection change events - but maybe it is more
informative to you than to me.)

Yes, I am using XP and two monitors, and I was pasting from the X
server displayed on one monitor to an app displayed in the other.  I
think.

I have not tested that the deadlock does not occur when not using two

xwinclip consistently unable to open clipboard

[Ed Avis]

Because of experiencing hangs when using the built-in clipboard
support (see other threads), I have switched to running xwinclip.exe
separately.  It normally works but recently, with the X server having
been running for a while, xwinclip died with 'unable to open
clipboard'.  The full output was

UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
Unicode clipboard I/O
SelectionNotify - Reasserted ownership of ATOM: PRIMARY
[above line repeated many times]
OpenClipboard () failed: 

Previously, I've had xwinclip crash but been able to restart it.  But
now when I try to restart xwinclip it dies immediately:

UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
Unicode clipboard I/O
OpenClipboard () failed: 

Hmm, I was going to say, this happens every time I run it.  But during
the course of writing this message I pasted some text from the command
prompt window into PuTTY, and that seems to have cured the problem -
xwinclip is now chugging away happily.

So I just mention this in case it is interesting - sorry that I can't
reproduce the problem every time.  I am running XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-44
and XFree86-xwinclip 4.3.0-2.

I hope the developers will consider adding the following features to

If I do that then I can run a separate xwinclip.exe.  If xwinclip gets
into a wedged state then it can be killed and restarted.

Here is the XWin.log for an X session that does this.  The server is

What did you do to cause the program to stop responding?  Others have
seen a problem where _pasting_ into a Windows application from the X
server causes the Windows app to hang.  See

I am seeing this too.  I tried pasting into several different
applications, in all cases it caused the app to hang and I had to kill
it using the task manager.  Cut and paste between normal Windows apps,
or pasting from Windows to XWin, is fine.

XWin.exe --version did not produce any output, however the Cygwin
setup program shows I am running XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-44 and
XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-2.  I had manually started xwinclip.exe after
the built-in clipboard support seemingly crashed.

It looks as though by running XWin.exe --version I overwrote the log
file, but when this problem happens again I will provide a log.  (It
might be that next time will also be with a separate xwinclip.exe
after the builtin clipboard support crashed.)

I think you can fix this by setting transient-mark-mode.  I know I had
the same problem with my XEmacs, and fixed it somehow, but strangely I
can't find any mention of transient-mark-mode in my ~/.emacs or
~/.xemacs/ although I do get the behaviour it turns on - not

GLX

[Ed Llewellin]

Dear All,

I have an application that sits on an SGI machine which I access via
xfree86 on cygwin. When I try and open the application, I get a message
telling me that "extension GLX" is missing. I have cygwin's OpenGL
installed but I am guessing that the GLX extension is not part of this
distribution. Is there a GLX extension for cygwin? If not, does anyone
know of an X-windows environment for Microsoft Windows which supports
GLX?

Thank you for any advice you can give!

Chris,

xhost the remote machine, and try opening up an xterm on the remote
machine with the -display flag. If you don't have xterm on the remote
machine, then you don't have X installed on the remote machine, and
therefore X11 forwarding would be worthless.

Re: placing launched MAGIC 7.1 & app dissappears

I have been using the given bat file to launch it.  The line you refer to as
stated in the MAGICXF.bat that launches MAGIC:

start XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 -emulate3buttons

This launches its own window and you can tell it's 8-bit.
I was wondering if I need more RAM on my comp to run it?

I did have it up once and it was slow...
I can't get it back up though.

Hi,

I got magic 7.1 installed and trying to run it about
10 times only got the magic window to open once. 
After that, I can't open it at all.  The full-screen

but when I place it, it vanishes.

Does anyone know why windows vanish like that?

Hello,
I know I'm not the only one with this prob...here is what i did to get it up.  I'm not
sure how much of this is overkill though...
 (for some reason, just reinstalling xfree didn't fix it)
1. delete cygwin and all shortcuts
2. run regedit, delete all "cygwin" entries
3. reinstall cygwin
4. install xfree: FOR THE TERMCAP AND LINK PROMPS, JUST SAY NO, i.e default enter at
prompt
5. goto /usr/X11R6/bin
6. sh startxwin.sh

This got it working, I haven't checked other ways of launching yet...

I dont have that directory.
The only host files I found are in a perl scripts folders about 5 levels under the

Re: "X connection to 127.0. ...explicit kill..."

[Ed Conrad]

Why don't you please re-read the original message.   I explained what happens
when I run the bat files.

The path in the bat files are correct or it would not open the xwindow in the
first place!  You cant even open startx with the wrong path. I get the startx
window, the window after that and then the xwin pops up for a second or so
before it crashes.

Something is going wrong when the xwindow is first opend.  The fact that I
can't run XWin.exe is just a clue I included because the user guide says I
should be able to run it.

Here is my prob.

I just dl and installed cygwin and xfree today but I
can't get it to run though.
The sceen just pops up for about a second and then it
vanishes.

The startxwin window says:

"X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill
or server shutdown)"  

The log file says this:

"ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 800 h 600
ddxProcessArgument () - screen - argc: 5 i: 1"

When I try to run XWin, it gives an error message:
"A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1,DLL was not found."

I got all my stuff from:
http://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/xfree/binaries/4.2.0/

TIA
