Yikes!!! I just noticed that my XWin.log is 52 MB for my one hour session in Cygwin/XFree86. I will have to roll a new release tonight that turns off the logging of the winAddRgn messages. Sorry about that. Harold root wrote: Works fine..no rubber bands.. none of my previous problems (my

Unfortunately not. The version most recently posted had the ctrl+c and server reset code in place but nothing much else. Oh. It does however contain the code to handle the selections properly. I'm not sure I made that clear enough. It does what you want it to do but not much else, is

Rootless mode logging and slowness

2002-10-18 Thread Harold L Hunt II
Some of you have noticed that a message is being added to /tmp/XWin.log every time that winAddRgn (or something close to that) is called. Other of you have also noticed that certain window operations and other random operations are slower than expected in Cygwin/XFree86 with rootless mode

Chris, The mount information is pretty much the only information that Cygwin stores in the registry, and unfortunately it is not cleared when you uninstall Cygwin/XFree86. At least, I don't recall that it is cleared. I will probably add something about this to the FAQ, eventually. Harold

Don't worry, the patch came through correctly. The problem was that the email did not clearly state that a rootless mode had been implemented, so both Alexander and I didn't pay any attention to it. I didn't even notice that it had a patch attached. The message is in the archives:
