Downgrading cygwin/x and/or cygwin
Hi, I'm not sure I can provide something much more useful than the lame "it worked in a previous installation" -- that's why I consider downgrading. Here's what I can provide: - My current cygwin is version 1.7.1-1, my Cygwin/X is 1.7.3.0 - I run 'XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -emulate3buttons' - Then I use ssh to log into a remote Linux machine and start a konsole window - From the konsole I start various applications all of which work fine except one large company-owned application which crashes with a SIGSEGV - Only the application crashes, the konsole and all other running remote apps continue to work - The application works fine when I'm locally on the Linux machine I log into - It also works fine when I use Xming (version 6.9.0.31) instead of Xwin, but Xming has several other problems (e.g. clipboard) - It also worked fine on my previous PC where I had cygwin 1.5.24 with Xwin 6.8.99.901 Unless someone can provide instructions how to find the rootcause for the SIGSEGV I would consider downgrading to something close to my older version and see if that helps. I already tried to downgrade just Xwin and downloaded XWin.20081204180806.exe.bz2 and XWin.20090629103603.exe.bz2 form ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/ but that alone did not help. A colleague has the same problem, so it's not just my installation. Is there an archive of old versions?

Re: downgrading
Dan, Please use XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-50 when it hits the mirrors in a few hours. Takuma Murakami made a patch that should fix your problem with window moving on multiple monitors (he has a multiple monitor setup at home, so I believe he was able to test this). In answer to your question, can downgrade to the version currently marked as "prev" via setup.exe if you locate the XFree86-xserv package in the list of packages, then click on the value in the "New" column until it says the previous version number. You can figure out which is the previous version number by clicking the new column up to about 8 times until you see all options available. However, we generally like to fix things quickly and would prefer not to have most users downgrading to older versions to work around things. Harold Daniel Danger Bentley wrote: Thanks so much! Any good hints on how I downgrade XFree? Can I do it with setup.exe? How do I install it? Is there a good page? I'd love to make this work again. Thanks, Dan

downgrading
Thanks so much! Any good hints on how I downgrade XFree? Can I do it with setup.exe? How do I install it? Is there a good page? I'd love to make this work again. Thanks, Dan
