Re: XWin 100% CPU usage (Remote Desktop)
I worked on this for a long time since trying vista and here's my solution CYGWIN=title server itty binmode glob tty I believe that some arrangement of CYGWIN args cause troubles, but I can't verify which, and I also believe I had ntsec in there before. It would run for a while, althouhg process explorer would show 9-10 thousand context switches per second for XWin.exe, then eventually it would go to XWin.exe running full blast an unresponsive until I killed it. Hope it helps, dkr -- 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/

'binmode' and 'glob' are on by default so you don't need to set these. The same is true for 'ntsec'. There is no 'itty' option for CYGWIN. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

More info : I connected with Remote Desktop to the session that is running X. I saw two X icons in systray, one obviously dead. I moved the mouse pointer over them and one disappeared. The CPU usage dropped to 50%. After a while, CPU usage climbed back to 100% (remember, this is a 2 CPU SMP system). Sysinternals Process Explorer shows the following : - XWin.exe process memory usage (Private Bytes) jumps between 176 and 340 megabytes (every second or two) - XWin.exe CPU usage is split half-half in two threads : - xwin.exe+0x1000 (start address) - cygwin1.dll!_getreent+0x2fa0 There are 4 other threads using little to none CPU all running cygwin1.dll!toascii+0x15d0 Regards, David -- 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: XWin 100% CPU usage (Remote Desktop)
Hi! I tried cygwin1-20060614.dll and the problem is gone ! At least I can't reproduce it. Just in case, here are steps to repriduce it (with older cywwin1.dll) : 1.) - connect to remote Windows system using Remote Desktop - there start the cygwin bash shell (using the start menu entry) - in bash start startxwin.bat - close the new xterm by typing ctrl-D in it - right click the X icon in systray and select Exit - CPU goes to 50% (one entire CPU, my system has two of them) or 2.) - connect to remote Windows system using Remote Desktop - there start the cygwin bash shell (using the start menu entry) - in bash type xwin :0 -query some.unix.system.com -clipboard -scrollbars - close Remote Desktop (the session keeps running in background) - start remote Desktop, reduce it's windows size (Options / Display / Remore Desktop Size), let's say from original 1024x768 to 800x600 - reconnect to the same sessione on the remote system - result : X windows dead, consuming all CPU (50% on a 2-way SMP) As I said , the new snapshot DLL fixes both scenarios.

RE: XWin 100% CPU usage (Remote Desktop)
More info. Maybe it is related to the trayicon. What happened : - XWin.exe using 100% CPU (those are 2 CPUs, both used to max) - I close a window or two in the X session - I notice there are two X icons in systray - I move the mouse over them, one disappears (this is normal when a dead icon is left in the systray) - CPU usage drops to 50% Unfortunately, I did more steps, so I can not say that the problem is really in the systray icons, but hopefully this is a step towards the solution for this annoying problem.
