I'm quite sure there is another program in the startup scripts which sets the autorepeat settings to the strange value. Maybe this is not xset but the the windowmanager (kde, gnome) itself. Please check the settings of the windowmanager if there is a strange autorepeat setting. bye ago NP: grauzone.03-12-28 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

XWin tries to set the repeat rate to something similar to the windows repeat rate. This is noted in the configfile. Maybe the session scripts of the linux host set the repeat rate to a bogus value.

Keyboard auto-repeat defaults when using 'xwin -query '
I have a odd problem with the keyboard auto-repeat setup. I have two verions of cygwin/xfree installed on two different win2k computers and the problem is the same on both. One has the latest cygwin/xfree (just downloaded) and the other has a version from a few months ago. I have searched through the mailing list archive and see that a similar problem has been reported before but it isn't exactly the same and I don't see how to fix the problem anyway. I am connecting from both these win2k systems uisng 'xwin -query ' to a linux Slackware 9.1 system on my local (home) network. I have also got another X server available to me, X-Win32 but I'd prefer to use cygwin as it's free and otherwise I keep having to pay for upgrades to X-Win32. The problem is that when I connect using cygwin/xfree the auto-repeat is set to silly values, if I do an 'xset -q' I get:- auto repeat: onkey click persent: 0LED mask: 00 auto repeat delay: 100repeat rate: 10 That auto repeat delay is much too short. On the other hand when I connect using X-Win32 I get:- auto repeat: onkey click persent: 0LED mask: 00 with no 'auto repeat delay' value at all, i.e. X-Win32 doesn't seem to have attempted to set the auto repeat delay or repeat rate at all and thus I'm left with the existing keyboard settings which are fine. It would appear that cygwin/xfree *is* setting the auto repeat delay and speed whereas X-Win32 isn't. If it is setting these where are the default values? If it isn't then what is going on? I know I can fix it by using 'xset' but this seems a bit of a bodge, I'd rather do it properly. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

The problem is not with the fonts it is that Cygwin/Xfree currently dumps core when both local fonts and a font server are used. I stumbled over a similar bug that Pavel had. I was trying to setup cygwin/Xfree to connect to my solaris 8 server. I was able to narrow the bug down to a problem that Xfree has with using both local fonts & a font server. Xfree works fine using either local fonts or a font server, but blows chunks when using both. If only local fonts are used, Xfree will core dump when "xset fp+" is used to add or reset a font server to the fontpath. Adding local font directories to the fontpath works OK. If the fontpath contains only font servers adding other font servers works but adding any local fonts will cause a core dump. The specific problem with Solaris is that the dtlogin script Xsetup runs "xset fp+ tcp/sunserver:7100" for all remote clients by default in /usr/dt/config/Xsetup. I assume a that a similar problem is present in Linux but do not have a box handy to check. Running "XWin -fp tcp/sunserver:7100" avoids the problem because this explicitly sets the fontpath so that no local fonts are used but Xsetup adds the font server a second time anyway. My workaround was to comment out the xset fp+ line & use only the local fonts, but the best thing to do would be to track down the reason Xfree is dumping core & fix it. Until this is done, it might be a good idea to update the FAQ.

Greg, I think you need to either attempt to connect from another Windows machine to the same linux box with XDMCP, or you need to attempt to connect to another remote linux machine using XDMCP from the same Windows box. You need to prove to yourself that the problem is on one end or the other.

The symbolic link /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb was broken. I've fixed it and the error message Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap has gone away.

xmodmap with XWin -query
Scanning mail archives I didn't find something helpful starting XWin with an option for other than an US-keyboard when starting XWin with the "-query remotehost" - option=20 to access a remote xdm-login. Since my experience is negligible I need a somewhat=20 detailed description. Up to now I tried to launch xmodmap xmodmap.de and setxkbmap de. putting those commands into the script before the XWin-command leads to "unable to open display"- message. Putting it after the XWin-command leads to=20 execution after termination. starting XWin with &-option also doesn't work. Both variants work fine starting XWin with a local Window manager.

Re: xwinclip-Test07 does not work with XWin -query
Your advice consists of ``it would be better if someone had some time to polish some rough edges in xwinclip.'' Are you suggesting that you have some time to polish those rough edges? As you said yourself, none of it is hard to do. Harold Joo-won Jung wrote: Sanori, Let me tell you, I wrote xwinclip and I still don't fully understand how to make it work well when using -query. I can tell you that running xhost on your Windows machine won't help anything. What you need to do is run xhost in a terminal that is running within your -query session. That should setup XWin.exe on your machine to accept connections from local clients. The reason you can run xhost on your Windows machine is that not even xhost has permission to connect to XWin.exe at that point, so xhost cannot modify the access control list. I know that only the clients on XDM host have control on control list of the X server when I run X with '-query' option, and I did so. I hope that helps, let us know if it does. Harold Now I found the problem. xwinclip.exe does not process '-display' option. I found this after seeing the source code of xwinclip. I think it would be better if xwinclip process '-display' option as other X clients do, or give error message if the option is not recognized. (Someone may say that it's the bash's fault since bash does not set DISPLAY environment variable.) I tried 'export DISPLAY=:0' and 'xwinclip' instead of doing 'xwinclip -display :0', then it works. Of course, I did 'xhost win_host_name' on the terminal before doing this. One more feature request: It would be better if the option for silent or designate the log file. Anyway, thank you for xwinclip. It helps me a lot.

French keyboard : XWin -query
Hello,
I try to replace Exceed by Xfree86 in my department of research.
In my .bat file, I generate a keymap and I connect to a hostname parameter
(see after).
So, at the login windows, my keyboard is french and so during my session.
But, the ALT GR doesn't work. So we can't use XFree86, because our
scientists need
~ { [ | \ ] } in their programs or in their Matlab session.
What is your solution for this problem ?
Thanks.
