Hi,
I am mailing the list with a problem that occurs when Cygwin/X is
started while a certain other program is running. I searched the list
archives to see if this was discussed before, but could not find a
reference to it.
After "startx" is entered in the Cygwin terminal, the X Windows system
begins to start. It gives this message:
winClipboardProc - Could not open display, try: <n>, sleeping: 4
Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 46
After 40 tries, it gives up with this message:
winClipboardProc - Failed opening the display, giving up
Cygwin/X finally times out and then starts, and the GUI Linux binary
starts too, but when a clipboard operation in that binary is attempted,
Cygwin says:
winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting.
The "other program" is FieldWorks Language Explorer, freely available
from http://www.sil.org/computing/FieldWorks/BTE-FW_downloads.htm. While
this program runs, Cygwin/X gives the above messages. Vice versa, when
Cygwin/X runs, the Language Explorer won't run but crashes on startup.
If the Language Explorer is not running, Cygwin/X starts fine.
Is this a known problem?
Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Teus Benschop
