No. Just select X-startup-scripts (version 1.0.10-2 is current) via setup.exe and install it. > Or is the a site that you recommend installing from? mirrors.kernel.org. I use this a reference and send announcements if the packages are available there. So I'm sure x-startup-scripts is available from this mirror. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Re: Multiwindows launches but nothing happens
Thanks for the response. I do not understand why the x-startup-scripts are not installed. I have tried a number of sites to install from selecting all packages. Are the startup scripts something that need manual installation? If so how is this done. Or is the a site that you recommend installing from?

The log shows the X server as started and waiting for connections. Now you need to open an X application (e.g., xterm) -- it won't be opened automatically when you start the X server directly the way you did (by running XWin.exe). You have a few choices: - Install the X-startup-scripts, and use either "startxwin.sh" or "startx" to start the X server (both will, IIRC, open at least an xterm for you). - Install the X-start-menu-icons package and use the Start menu to open whatever applications you need. - Use the old-fashioned way and open a regular Cygwin console (via the Cygwin icon on your desktop), and from the prompt run DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 xterm & - Do the above, but run a window manager instead (provided you're in non-multiwindow mode, which in itself is a window manager). Most X window managers (e.g., twm, fvwm, WindowMaker, openbox) will have a desktop menu that allows to start X applications. Note that only twm comes with X by default, others have to be installed separately. - Starting the X server should have created an icon in your system tray. ISTR there was some work on adding a menu to that icon that would let you start applications and control the X server. Don't know if that was ever completed, though, or if it's been included in the default XWin package... There are other ways, but they are more arcane... :-) Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

Multiwindows launches but nothing happens
Hi, I have installed cygwin and am having troubles running xwin or xwin -multiwindows. Running xwin pops open window, but has not drop down menus to start, for instance and xterm. If I run xwin -multiwindow nothing seems to happen. The log file is as follows: Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.1.0-5 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information (==) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1024 height: 768 depth: 16 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks f800 07e0 001f BPRGB 6 d 16 bpp 16 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0409" (0409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" (--) 5 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winProcEstablishConnection - Hello winInitClipboard () winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. winClipboardProc - Hello DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winClipboardProc - Call to select () failed: -1.
