I also followed the instruction on the web to download XFree86 4.0. I also downloaded the xfig package. I also have exceed running on my laptop. I believe the exceed which I am using supports X11R6. I am not sure if that exceed version supports X11R6.3 or X11R6.4. The document just says it supports X11R6. I lauched exceed and then launched the Cygwin shell. I set DISPLAY to localhost:0.0. When I lauched xterm or xfig, it is complaining: "Failed to open input method." and then it does a core dump and exits. When I lauch xclock, it is ok and the clock is ticking. I am not sure what is wrong, please advise. Also,I could not find "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" file in the download directory for XFree86 4.0. Please advise on this as well. -- Sincerely, Weilian From james@verge-rpg.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: james@verge-rpg.com (Arek (James Potts)) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: More Compile Problems References: <000f01c0b92f$4a282400$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <001e01c0b943$6c216850$0100a8c0@vergebbs> I have been having problems compiling XFree86 from source for some time now.

I tried reducing the resolution and bit depth and still no luck. I checked that I have TCP/IP connectivity and even tried setting the DISPLAY to my ip address instead of 127.0.0.1. I can ping any of these addresses but the xterm comes back with a message that it is unable to connect to display. Noticed that a couple of people reported similar problem but could find no resolution for it in the FAQs. Xterm comes back with Xt: Unable to connect to display 127.0.0.1:0. Same thing with twm. After mucking around for some time, I tried the following. I connected to a remote machine and launched twm and an xterm in the remote machine setting the DISPLAY as my local win2k laptop's ip address:0. This seemed to work just fine and I could connect to the Xfree server on my laptop. I also ran Exceed on my local machine and used the xterm that came with XFree to connect to the Exceed server. Again, the xterm comes back with a message that it is unable to connect to display as before. Any pointers?

If you a "test7" keyword search on Cygwin/Xfree86 mail archives you will hot his post. .xinitrc will not run because, in fact, x-server did not run on your Win98SE. ;-) Win9x/me use Mutex16 from Eve and Adam times, while Win NT and Win2K use Mutex from Bill Clinton Presidency time. We are using 32 bit Mutex to get a surface lock and so-called Microsoft 32-bit Win9x/Me which are cluttered with 8-bit crap cannot get a proper lock of the surface. Harold is working on fixing this problem but no time frame when a final and stable version will be available. Suhaib > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon S.

Suhaib. -----Original Message----- From: SLS To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sent: 2/21/2001 12:50 PM Subject: RE: xfree86 runs but programs can't connect to it I experienced this exact same situation and reading some of these posts, knowing I had just installed a VPN it looked like the culprit to me. After a fresh Win NT 4, sp 6 install and then cygwin / xfree install everything came up fine (meaning I could start Xwin without recieving the error). Then loading the VPN software reimposed the 'Can't connect to host' error. This VPN is by Aventail corp., "Connect 3.1 for Windows". The vpn was configured to secure all traffic to a network and pass everything else untouched, obviously it is not quite leaving other traffic untouched. However there is an option to only secure traffic originating from specific applications and ignore others - selecting Netscape and telnet as the only 'secured' applications solved the problem and X starts up as it did prior to installing the VPN. Now I can access secured servers from my Sun workstation through a Win NT laptop over the VPN. HTH The Windows NT/2000 dual boot (actually quadruple boot, with Win ME, and RH 7.0 Linux) I do Cygwin/XFree86 development work and testing, at home, has CheckPoint VPN Client installed and I never had this problem. Therefore I suspect VPN client is not an issue. I believe problem is somewhere else on your windows. How about setting up in Control panel under System-->ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0? Rebboting then.

I finally got XFree to work with Cygwin on NT4 SP6a. It's really neat, and Suhaib and the other developers deserve a lot of thanks :^) I'm not sure how I fixed the problem, but this is what I did to get it working for archival purposes: 1.) Followed directions for installing Cygwin and XFree in the Installation How-to ( http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/docs/howto/book1.htm ). 2.) In addition, installed xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 from xc-4-binaries. 3.) Installed the latest drivers for my old 4MB Matrox Mystique PCI video card from the manufacturer's web site. 4.) XFree still didn't run. It seemed not to switch video "contexts" to XFree properly -- I still had the MS Windows arrow mouse cursor on the screen when I ran XFree. Some posts to the list suggested lowering the resolution and color depth of the Xwin.exe process, so I tried 640x480x8, and then it worked. I then increased the resolution and color depth, and it works all the way up to 1024x768x24 which is what I wanted. Works fine to run X apps locally or over the network. Various posts on the mailing list suggest trying the latest video drivers, then installing the -devel tarball, then trying a low resolution/color depth to see if it'll run at all. This worked for me :^) Thanks to everyone who helped out.

This *is* a frequently asked one, because I asked it to myself maybe a hundred times these last days, when strace would not help anymore than taskman. Here are a few questions besides Xfree: - how can I get the login program to work , under netware + NT4 ? It fails even in local mode. Does it have to be started before the winlogon ? - (maybe offtopic) how to follow symlinks from a drive mounted by ext2fs.sys ? This driver from ext2fsnt-0.4 doesn t resolve the links itself. - do you know a trick to use the DragnDrop filename from the explorer ?

When I run startxwin.bat everything is fine, until I Alt-Tab to another window. When I come back, either X doesn't get any of my mouseclicks and keypresses, or my keyboard starts typing gibberish. FWIW I am running at 1280x1024x24 in windows, and 1280x1024x16 in X, but I get similar problems if I change my windows resolution to 16bpp. Anyone have any ideas? -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6Y119gJlk/lQdbnARAu/0AKCGrB8srAPHxXbhTf6p56jxZ2Gl6ACfYOz9 BqcyzNuGXjs2qg4y+/burP0= =qHiR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From cgf@redhat.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 10 References: <20010326164238.E1243@redhat.com> <001301c0b647$9afd5200$2207640a@holstein-mobile.ASPECTDV.COM> Message-ID: <20010326180309.A2497@redhat.com> On Mon, Mar 26, 2001 at 02:53:42PM -0800, Kevin Wright wrote: >Actually I just checked again and I have the latest cygwin (1.1.8-2). >The only way for me to upgrade would be to get a snapshot.

I use a PS/2 mouse connected to the docking station (and the built-in touchpad when I am on the move). When I start Xfree with startxwin.bat I get a error message in a dialog box: SetDataFormat(SysMouse, dfDIMouse) Error = 80070057(DI_ERR_INVALIDPARAM) And then the X-server start, but my mouse still controls the Windows environment, and I can't move the cursor in X.

It should say : shiftpress, KP7press, KP7release, shiftrelease, like other keys are acting.

By placing cygwin1.dll, libX11.dll and libz.dll (the only DLLs I can see are necessary) in same directory as the application, the application comes as far as trying to open an X-window, when it exits after displaying the message > X Error: Bad Value > Request Major code 18 () > Value 0x0 > Error Serial #10 > Current Serial #17 Am I missing anything?

I've just made apache recognize that if someone says xfree86.cygwin.com they should really go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree . The location for the xfree86 web pages hasn't changed. When I mentioned using cygwin.com I really meant that if you are referring to the cygwin project I'd prefer going using cygwin.com.

I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine which is (for now) a Windows box. I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display layer in Windows but, a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my NVidia GF2MX? b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?

There is an XWin.exe process in the Task Manager's "processes" window, but that's it.

I don't know how Suhaib can assume there's something I haven't read :-) Yes, I have read the LessTif FAQ, and the DDD Makefile has since been fixed to work with Cygwin (as of DDD 3.2.98 and later). Here's the library ordering on my system: -lXm -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXpm -lXp -lXext \ -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lncurses -liberty -lm Compare this to the ordering as specified in the LessTif FAQ - you'll find it's perfectly compliant: -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE Remember: for a bug report, always state what you do, what you expect, and how your experience differs from the expectations. Anything else, including assumptions about the code and its developers, rarely helps.

Also If you haven't run the cygwin setup.exe to install the bits you ahve installed you are missing the mount points in the registry and it won't go. No chance no way.

Belieeeeve me! :] If you can, update to service pack 1. Definately upgrade your video drivers to the manufacturers latest - they seem to be the no 1 cause of problems. Lastly check the startx.bat file, for screen 0 (not screen 8), and try a low res - say 640x480. Once that's working start increasing the resolution to your hearts content.

First, apologies for not scanning the FAQ more carefully. I set XKeysymDB, XErrorDB in my .bashrc file, in startxwin.bat and in C:/AUTOEXEC.BAT. For the last file I even rebooted the machine before invoking startxwin.bat. I am still encountering the same "Unknown keysym name: ..." errors when starting an X/Motif application, and am not getting any responsiveness from the keyboard.

I would rather have no direct references to ftp://sources.redhat.com/ or ftp://cygwin.com/ . Or, rather, I would like to have a nice fat pipe to the internet and not worry about this at all but that is moving at a glacial pace at Red Hat currently. I guess you could make it clear that you are directing someone to a mirror and use RCN. It is very fast. You could also point people to other mirrors if RCN is unacceptable for some reason. Anyplace but sources.redhat.com for now. When I sent this email there were ten people downloading xfree binaries and our T1 was noticeably lagging. I have made some simple global search and replace changes. I can check those in if you want. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 6 References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3E11@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: <000701c0b3b7$9bd04a80$2fab0a23@huntharo> It ignores whatever depth you pass on the command line; see, the server runs in a window so it has to use whatever depth Windows is running at, which, in your case, is 32 bpp. I query Windows for the current screen depth, and I added a warning to the user that displays when their command line depth parameter is different than their current screen depth.

The project changes as we move forward and more talented developers, like Harold, join the project. There is a story behind Cygwin/Xfree86 project. On the URl I mentioned, it was my personal idea to port Xfree86 to Windows. That sentence had a story behind it. Two years ago, I was negotiating licenses for 15 workstation from an X-server vendor. I will not mention the names of companies. During negotiations of prices I mentioned to salesman that Xserver prices for Win32 are rediculously high because there is no open source project to compete. In case of linux the commercial Xservers are resonabley priced because of Xfree86 and I might consider porting Xfree86 to Windows. The Salesman laughed at me and said that Xfree86 had been around since 20 years if it would have been possible someone may had done it years ago, that was why there were no Opensource projects for Win32. I started fooling around with X11R6.4 and XFree86 3.3.x and learn a lot about the differences between two. Speaking of comments a year and a half ago we had only libraries available and we had only 40 members on this list. Whenever someone asked when would be the first functional X-server avialble I said I did not know. Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: 'Andreas Eibach' Cc: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 3/25/2001 11:58 AM Subject: Explanation of Shadow Framebuffer Test 7 vs. (old) Offscreen Test 7 Ah, a very good question. I made the comment that there would not be a framebuffer based X server for Windows 95/98/Me before I knew about the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer was written by Keith Packard and is located in the XFree86 CVS tree under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadow/. To use shadow framebuffer you allocate an offscreen (shadow) framebuffer and tell your painting code, be it fb, mfb, or one of the cfbs, to paint to the offscreen framebuffer. Then you initialize the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer steps in and wraps all of your previous painting functions with functions that keep track of the area updated by each graphics call. Shadow framebuffer also installs its own BlockHandler that calls a shadowUpdateProc (), supplied by you, that transfers the group of updated areas to the screen. You can use any feasible method in your shadowUpdateProc to transfer the updated regions to the screen. Engine 1 uses a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the DIB by creating it with Win32's CreateDIBSection (). Before you start thinking that DIBs must be slow, you should be informed that DIBs are, I believe, the foundation of DirectDraw. Engine 1's shadowUpdateProc () uses the GDI Blt function to transfer the updated (damaged) regions of the shadow DIB to the screen. Engine 2 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the surface by calling IDirectDrawSurface_Lock (). Engine 2's shadowUpdateProc () uses DirectDraw's IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () to transfer the damaged regions of the shadow framebuffer to the screen. However, before each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Unlock (), as you cannot blit from a locked surface. Consequently, after each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Lock () to reobtain a pointer to the memory of our surface. All of the locking and unlocking adds up, thus Engine 3. Engine 3 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface with client allocated memory as the shadow framebuffer. Client allocated memory means that we allocate a block of memory large enough for the DirectDraw surface, then we tell DirectDraw to treat that memory as a surface. We can then call IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () without having to unlock and relock the surface. Therefore, Engine 3 has some pretty amazing performance. Apparently this technique only works with DirectX 6 or higher, thus it will work on Windows 95/98/Me/2000, but it will not work on NT 4.0. Back to your question. When I made my comment I had briefly thought about writing something similar to the shadow framebuffer code, but I knew that I didn't know enough about update regions and X servers in general to pull it off. I also doubted that the performance would be that great. I started writing a native GDI X server instead. There was a big discussion when I asked questions on the XFree86 devel list related to my native GDI server; the debate primarily centered around whether translating X graphics calls into GDI calls would be faster than using the shadow framebuffer code. I asked what the shadow framebuffer was, and that is how we got here. My old offscreen test 7 did all drawing to an offscreen surface, in a manner similar to how the shadow framebuffer works. However, I had no way to keep track of which, if any, regions of the offscreen framebuffer had been updated. Therefore I decided that fifteen times per second I would transfer the entire offscreen framebuffer to the screen, regardless of whether any of the offscreen framebuffer had been changed. Offscreen test 7 was clearly not ideal; to make it ideal would be to reimplement the shadow framebuffer code. So, that is difference between the old offscreen test 7 and the new shadow framebuffer test 7, and I made my remark because I didn't know of a feasible method of writing a framebuffer based server for Windows 95/98/Me at the time :) I will continue to work on the native GDI server, as there is only one way to answer the performance debate once and for all :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold Hunt From lynnhill@dcemail.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: lynnhill@dcemail.com (Lynn Hill) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: I had an idea Message-ID: <907de075a8042ae11c02028a91eff143@NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org> We went to your site http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree/ Taking credit cards either in person or over the Internet is the cash income solution for today's businesses.

Test 10 is dependent on ddraw.dll, but ddraw.dll is included with Windows NT 4.0 with SP3 or greater. You may need to reinstall your service pack though, as installing applications after a service pack can break the DLL dependencies on your system.

I just discovered the root of the problem, although the fix will not be in my next release, which is coming up shortly. Basically, it breaks down like this: InitOutput () currently initializes the pixmap formats. InitOutput uses whatever depth was passed on the command line to inititialize the pixmap formats. If you pass the wrong depth, you get the wrong pixmap formats. Later on, in winScreenInit, I correct the depth, but it is too late because the pixmap formats are still incorrect. I'll fix that sometime later this week.

I'll probably need a few weeks, or up to a month to reach the patch submission point, as I want to fix some things and give the code time to be tested, etc. I'll be sure to synchronize any patching with you. Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

I just upgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.1.8 and went from having a working X distribution to one that basically doesn't work. I am using Exceed for the X server and the system is NT4+SP6. I can launch xterm from the command line and it will show up, but if I try to launch xterm (or anything else for that matter) it just sits there, nothing appears. I have upgraded X to the latest binaries. Nothing else seems to be giving me problems. Will new binaries be coming out or should I try to compile it on my own? There is only one cygwin1.dll in my $PATH. If you need any other information let me know. Thank you.

Then I run the install segments, but when I go the /usr/X11R6/* only the libraries are present, not very many executable binaries. Compiling Xfree86 under a Unix environment by doing: make World && make Install && make Install.man will create all the binaries needed to run X. Is there a step that I am missing in regards to this distro of X? Step I am taking: 1) Rename site-cygwin.def to site.def 2) In ~/xc make World 3) make install 4) make install.man And that is it, nothing else is done as there is nothing to run. I know doing the same with the code from X.Org will only produce the libraries, and only a few exec's similar to what is happening in this case.

Can someone tell me > why colors work okay in 8-bit, but not in "deeper" screens? > In 8 bit color depth, a palette is used. This means all 256 colors are alocated in the XServer. Whenever an application requests a color (eg. #ffff00, which is yellow), the XServer returns an index for the palette which points to a color close to the requested. All later painting uses only this index. in 16 bit mode, the pixel value is calculated from the color values for red, green and blue. I believe the pixel value is constructed by using the most significant 6bit from the blue value and 5bit from the green and red value. This pixel value is then written to memory of the videocard. The DAC of the Videocard converts this value back to analoque signals for the CRT. But the back conversion will use 5bit for blue and green and 6 bit for red. I'm sure this difference causes the problem in 16 and 32 bit. 24 bit mode should be optimal since the conversion is quite simple here. I think, i should take a look at the sources, to find out what really happens in the XServer. cu ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement References: <000601c09ead$a96fef70$21ab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <00c201c09eb4$f5370720$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Do you want that mirrored onto the cygwin site? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold Hunt" To: "Cygx (E-mail)" Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 9:03 AM Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement > I have thrown together a web page for the Test 7 release. > > The page includes instructions, warnings, a description of operations, links > to the compiled files and source, and screenshots. > > We can now refer anyone with questions about Test 7 to the web page: > > http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/test7/ > > Harold > > From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 3 Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3E00@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> The access violation coredump happens sometimes, if DLLs are not in PATH.

By integrated I really mean the X screen size == windows screen size at startup time, with a transparent background that allows the windows desktop to be visible, and clicking on a window window pops it to the front. I'm not terribly concerned re clip boards and cutting and pasting (I don't think _any_ effort should be put into that under X - the /dev/clipboard in cygwin is a good start and if that were to be finished, XFree86 would get it for free. ) In fact once I've finished pthreads I _may_ look at the clipboard stuff (yes I admit it, I'm a sucker for punishment). So in summary: * No new window manager needed :] * /dev/clipboard is 1/2 there already Rob From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 14 References: <001d01c0b8df$7f973e50$0a01a8c0@earth> Message-ID: <001001c0b92f$ef380000$2fab0a23@huntharo> The described behavior for Alt_R is the behavior documented by Microsoft for that key on non-US enhanced keyboards.

If Linux generates the same messages for Alt_R, then the messages are generated by the keyboard and the behavior is correct; if Linux generates different messages for Alt_R, then the messages that you see are generated by Windows and I will need to modify the message sequence for Alt_R.

At least it now works using mwm from lesstif. The XFce port does not work, I get a lot of gdk errors. I used the precompiled of that (I used it everyday and it worked up until I upgraded cygwin today).

I can't but help think it may be an environment issue since it only happens when I try to lanuch a xterm through the rsh daemon. Are there any particular envirnoment variables that need to be set ? The only one I know of ( apart from having the path set up corectly ) is SYSTEMROOT which needs to be set to point at the winnt directory ( im runing on win2k ) I have made the xterm start throught the rsh daemon by running the following however: rsh ntxserver "/cygwin/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c ""xterm -display mymachine:0 -e bash""" I also have another problem, most of the time when I type exit the xterm goes to 100cpu usage and hangs, however if I click on the 'x' in the top right of the window instead to close it, it hasn't hang yet. This also seems to happen with rxvt. Unfotuantly I havent been able to reproduce this when running it through strace.

Let me explain a little more on the fact occured on my ThinkPad. I tried to excerpt a skelton of startup operations from libX as follows: socket() connect(); fcntl( ..., F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC ); writev(); and I found the last "writev" failed ( perror might say "Invalid argument" ), however, when I commented out the "fcntl" line, then it worked fine. According to the above fact, I doubted the "fcntl" system call in cygwin.dll but not libX. But, as you mentioned, it might be a special case occured in (my) ThinkPad. I will attach the skelton code I used in the test of communication to Xserver, and I hope this wouldn't violate mailing-list rules. Thank you for the great job on porting X environments to Windows.

It works without craching on both systems. The Dell has cygwin 1.1.5 installed and is running Windows 98. The laptop has the latest cygwin as of last week (1.1.8) and is also running Windows 98. I compiled fvwm2 against the Cygwin/XFree86 and it worked out of the box. I did not have to make a single mod! I have noted two problems. The first is when I run Emacs from a remote Linux box the Alt key is not mapped to the Meta key. I assume that this is an Xserver configuration issue. Could someone give me a hint how to setup the proper mapping? The second problem happens while running fvwm2. Using the system.fvwm2rc which is shipped with fvwm2, I have the focus in the upper left virtual screen. When I move the mouse through the Icon Manager, the focus often changes to one of the lower virtual screens. This even happens if my Cygwin/Xfree86 window is not on top. I have also tried running fvwm2 from a remote Linux box, using Cygwin/XFree86 as my display server and it exhibits the same problem.

I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine which is (for now) a Windows box. I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display layer in Windows but, a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my NVidia GF2MX? b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?

I am convinced because of the following reasons: 1) Client exits that cause XWin.exe to crash do not result in an STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, indicating that the crash is not a problem caused by an invalid memory pointer. 2) Client exits that cause XWin.exe to crash do not result in a call to AbortDDX (), ddxGiveUp (), or FatalError (). This indicates that some code, somewhere, is calling exit (). 3) The last Windows message I see is either a key release or a mouse button release; I never see a WM_QUIT, WM_DESTROY, WM_CLOSE, or any other strange message. I even modified the window processing loop to output the code for *every* message it received; the last messages I get are completely normal. 4) winWakeupHandler returns correctly from the last call that it processes. 5) When I fixed a typo in xc/programs/Xserver/os/WaitFor.c, client exits that crashed into an infinite loop seemed to get less likely. Now, the error may or may not actually be in my code; however, I need someone to convince me otherwise :) I need a talented debugger to tell me what function XWin.exe is in when it exits. Any takers? Also, I need someone to run a leak checker against XWin.exe. Well, let me know if you are interested :) Harold From daniele.disco@virgilio.it Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: daniele.disco@virgilio.it (daniele.disco@virgilio.it) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin.def - site.cygwin Message-ID: <20010314103606.HIVL21412.fep45-svc.tin.it@[212.48.4.50]> I try to show in a better way the sitation. Fist of all I make a mistake the file is not cygwin.def but site.cygwin The main idea is to compile on WIN NT4 Xfree86 using cygwin. I downloaded the tar related to the source code (Xfree86 ver. 4.0.1) and reading FAQ, I changed in the directory xc/config/cf the cygwin.def file in site.def. In the xc directory using the command make World > world.log I compiled the source code. I obtained several errors. In this mail-list Suhaib Siddiqi suggested to use the source present in the CVS repository where these problems there aren't. When I downloaded the code from the CVS in the xc/config/cf directory I didn't find the cygwin.def file and then I sent a request to this list asking if I have to do same change before compiling. The same Suhaib Siddiqi said me to change site.cygwin in site.def and something related to host.cygwin Where I can find these file? Thanks Daniele > > > Daniele, > > Where is the error showing up?

I ported glib-1.2.8 and gtk+1.2.8 on cygwin, and is available at http://my.dreamwiz.com/jbdoll/ (shared versions only...) (without thread functions...) glib-1.2.8 may not stable. Even though 'make check' results "All 11 tests passed!", it needs guru's touch to work correctly on cygwin... I have tested examples included in gtk+-1.2.8 source, and all worked fine with Xfree. I hope a expert release stable versions of those. Jong B.

It most likely has to do with a lack of available memory or a particular bitfield format not being supported by the running version of Windows. We can't do much to help people with low memory, but we can figure out what bitfield formats are supported by the running version of Windows by querying Windows as to which formats it supports; alas, you can't just ask Windows what formats it supports, you have to go through a series of steps in creating a dummy bitmap that will eventually yield the bitfield format that the display is currently using. I'll probably go write that code now, since it seems that we can't handle the bitfield format with a simple default :) Harold From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: startup problems Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3C59@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> > I am running NT4 on a Dell Optiplex GXa and have cygwin...b20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Upgrade to latest Cygwin PLEASE.

I'm not suggesting you give up - I'm suggesting that _if you haven't run setup.exe_ that you _will need to do so_ before trying to isolate the minimum install needed. I'm sure it is possible to run a slim line install of cygwin. Equally I'm sure that it will require some registry entries (for the mount table) and will likely require things like /etc/passwd to be present. To re-iterate more clearly: 1) start with a clean pc. 2) install _all_ of cygwin. (well you can skip obvious things like gcc & squid). 3) install xfree86 as per Harold Hunt's howto (available via www.cygwin.com/xfree86). 4) when xfree86 is working... carry on 5) pick a package (or if you're into binary searchs, pick n/2 packages where n is the count of installed packages). 6) remove the package you selected by running setup again. 7) test xfree86.

Let me emphasize it: The Cygwin mount points are needed. When compiling Xfree86 the /usr mount point is hard coded in cygwin.cf, it can be changed to whatever you like during compilation but it cannot be eliminated at all - that means a mount point must exist. Second: the X libraries also use the /dev/tty and /dev/zero mount points. Without proper mount points, a user will get errors either during application startup or during shutdown/abort process.

I have successfully installed Cygwin and the XWin server on my NT 4.0 system (NT 4.0 [Build 1381 SP 6a], Gateway E-5200, 3DLabs Video adapter [GLINT R3/Oxygen VX1], Dell Trinitron [P1110] monitor) It's great! It's Fast! It's color confused. It behaves as if the red/blue inputs are reversed. By this I mean that an "xsetroot -solid red" gives a blue background, "xsetroot -solid blue" gives a red background, while "xsetroot -solid green" gives a green background. But it isn't that simple, because "xsetroot -solid dimgray" (which is defined in rgb.txt as "105 105 105") gives a steelblue sort of color. It is NOT monitor nor adapter-to-monitor cable dependant, as I have switched both of those with no change in behavior.

If so, then I can add DDE to the feature wish list. So you have Purify... We're having a problem with the test servers that I have been releasing where exiting from an xterm or Ctrl-C'ing a program that was running in a terminal will cause either the xterm to enter an infinite loop, or it will cause XWin.exe to exit. When XWin.exe exits in these cases it doesn't call any of the normal shutdown routines, nor does it display any error message whatsoever. My theory is that some portion of the code is calling exit (), but the XFree86 source tree is a couple hundred megabytes, so I'd like to at least have a function name to start looking around in. Can Purify help find the function that is calling exit ()?

I've gone on a coding marathon for the last 14 hours, during which time I implemented a DirectDraw based shadow fb server that can be swapped at runtime with the GDI based shadow fb server. Performance comparison: When dragging an X window (such as an xterm) in the DD server it feels very sluggish and you can actually see the server redrawing things. When dragging an X window in the GDI DIB server the window redraws almost instantaneously and the server feels very snappy. Performance is so varied between DirectDraw and GDI DIB for shadow fb servers because DirectDraw requires that you unlock, or throw away your memory pointer, to the shadow framebuffer before you transfer (blit) the shadow framebuffer to the screen. After a series of blits you must reacquire a pointer to the shadow framebuffer bits so that the 'fb' code can continue painting the screen. However, with GDI DIBs you do not have to throw away your memory pointer when you blit the shadow fb to the screen, resulting in a much more responsive server. I didn't really expect DirectDraw to be faster for the shadow framebuffer server, but I was kinda surprised at how much slower it turned out to be. Not to fear though, as the DirectDraw coding I did will translate almost directly to the next feature for the server: on Windows NT/2000 we will use DirectDraw to write directly to the primary framebuffer, as the current stable release does. The test server will detect your version of Windows at startup, then it will use GDI DIBs with a shadow fb for Widnows 95/98/Me (as the current test server does), while it will use a DirectDraw primary framebuffer for Windows NT/2000. The resulting server will run on all versions of Windows and will deliver the maximum performance that a particular version of Windows is capable of. As a side note, I will keep the DirectDraw shadow fb code in the server and I will add a command line option to force the server to use the DirectDraw shadow fb code. That will allow people to experiment for themselves; perhaps we'll get some different results on different video cards and processors. That's all for now, I'll release the code for said server tomorrow, Harold Hunt From alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 9 References: <000201c0b604$a5f67210$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: On Mon, 26 Mar 2001, Harold Hunt wrote: > Did you update your Cygwin/XFree86 installation to 4.0.3? > Yes, at least the xfree-dll and xfree-xwin.

I believe the same goes for cygwin-apps.... I'm very interested in fixing what I consider a problem: People attempting to use non-cygwin threads support with cygwin1.dll linked applications. As such I'm hereby solicting bug reports (with _small_ test cases) for the pthreads support in cygwin. I'm making no promises about actually fixing anything or time frames - My paid work and personal life do come before cygwin (shock & horror). Notwithstanding that, I have recently fixed a chunk of functionality in cygwin for another opensource project I hack on (squid) and it's pthread based asynchronous disk module runs quite happily. So if you're an application porter, and pthreads doesn't work for you - contact me on the appropriate cygwin list (cygwin-apps unless it's xfree86 related, in which case cygwin-xfree, or cygwin-developers if you are trying to use pthread support within cygwin1.dll and it's broken). Chris: I hope I'm not stepping across a line here ... but no-one seems to have current "ownership" of pthreads, and I'd like to see cygwin actually get fixed rather than a plethora of workarounds created..

(And let the graphics card accelerate as >much as possible..?) That is not a silly question. I originally set out to implement a GDI based non-framebuffer server; currently I have code that draws the familiar X background upon startup, but it does little else; that code has been in each of the Shadow FB test releases. Implementing a native X Server is not simple task, there are lots of functions to implement and each function has to be correct else you get garbled output and maybe even crashes. When originally implementing the GDI server I used lots of dirty tricks, like hard coding pixel values when drawing lines of certain types, using global variables for device contexts, etc., as I had no idea if the visual format I had chosen was correct and I had no idea how to use screen privates; I also had no idea what pixel values in X corresponded to which colors in Windows. I needed to get the visual formats, color mapping, and parameter passing correct before I went any further. The easiest way to set the correct visual formats, color mapping, and parameter passing was to implement a shadow framebuffer based server using the GDI blitter and frob the visual formats until the colors displayed correctly :) In essence, I have been building the foundation for a GDI based server. I will go back to coding the GDI based non-framebuffer server once I am satisfied that the shadow framebuffer and primary framebuffer servers are stable. I believe that I now know enough to correctly implement a GDI based server.

Also, I have to point out, that Cygwin licensing still enters into all of this, if you are planning on distributing this stand-alone application. You will have to provide the sources for the DLL and accomodate the X licensing policies if you are distributing this to anyone.

The error messages were about the "Unknown Commutator /B" in the startxwin.bat. Not knowing what to do about it, I replaced it with the /max commutator. I also replaced vtwm by twm (because I could find vtwm). And then I had to reboot Windows... Finally I got it working by only starting twm (commenting out the xterm and rxvt from startxwin.bat). I can then start xterm from twm. I still get an MSDOS window that opens when the twm is started, is the /B used to avoid this? is it a problem ? what commutator should I use ?

I missed this announcement. Rober is correct. You can't download from sources.redhat.com. You *have* to use a mirror. I changed the xfree pages a while ago to point to a mirror. You'll have to use mirrors for any software announcements just like we do in Cygwin-proper-land. I'm sorry about this state of affairs but the T1 link to sources.redhat.com was getting swamped with cygwin and cygwin-xfree downloads. In fact, in analyzing the download behavior, what was really annoying was that people seemed to be downloading the same thing multiple times sometimes at the same time! cgf From lyman@bcsisims.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: lyman@bcsisims.com (Lyman Neuschaefer) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Text fields in X/Motif applications non-editable Message-ID: Greetings, The cygwin X-Server XWin.exe starts up fine on my Win NT 4.0 SP5 workstation.

Nice, you compiled the libX11.dll with a broken Display and broken Xtrans socket. This is not a fix. The problem lies not with Cygwin.dll, but with you ThnkPad.

I have it running now will check if crashes still occur. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3752 349 80 80 From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 11 Message-ID: <000d01c0b7e9$3927b360$2fab0a23@huntharo> I just posted Test 11 to my usual announcement page: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/ Test 11 is compiled with the Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 source code; you must have Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 installed before you install Test 11. Changes: 1) Keyboard input distinquishes between right and left Shift, Control, and Alt keys. 2) Added key maps for Help, Select, Clear, and language mode switches. The language mode key codes are probably incorrect, but having them at least cause an input event will allow people to map them to the correct symbol for their language. 3) Numeric keypad Enter causes an XK_KP_Enter instead of XK_Return. Tomorrow I may fix the NumLock and CapsLock keys like I did in the offscreen framebuffer tests of days gone by.

Cygwin itsself runs wonderfull. For the download I used the mirror: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/xfree/xc-4-binaries/ to download the necessary files according to the Installation-Documentation written at: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/docs/howto/x195.htm But on this mirror (and also on some other mirrors) the file "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" was missing. The documentation says: Download the following files from xfree/xc-4-binaries, saving them to the root of your Cygwin installation directory (e.g. c:\cygwin), the uncompressed file size appears after each file; you will need approximately 60MB of disk space to download and uncompress all of these files xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 (2.3MB; required, various libraries) xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 (12.5MB; required, X fonts) xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 (17kB; required, defines screen colors) xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2 (0.9MB; required, terminal emulator) xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2 (5.6MB; required, DirectX X/Server) xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2 (39MB; optional, additional X utilities, e.g. xhost) I tried XFree without the tar-file, but got a lot of error-messages regarding colours, and at the end the application started with very bad colours. (By the way,after the xterm starts, it does not accept any input, and dissapears short after I press "Enter") Can you give me some hints, where to find the file?

I mentioned already this problem before.t I observed it on a Gateway 2000 with a crystal scan screen. It seems effectively that if one puts the screen conditions under Windows NT different from the one that one indicates in the start Xwin file then you obtain satisfaction. for instance 1024x768 and 16 colors under Win NT and 1024x768x8 for start Xwin -screen 0 1024x768x8 ,then it works fine with 8 depth. I do not get this behaviour on a labtop Dell Latitude C600 running under W2K. As far as it was working under one condition I was happy with that but there is probably a bug somewhere , could be from Windows NT too.

The behavior is only active for xfree86.cygwin.com, so I don't see any urgent need to reconfigure anything. I don't think anyone will be flocking to xfree86.cygwin.com in the next couple of days.

Meanwhile I realised I'd done the cardinal sin of "why don't you do foo" with respect to the clipboard. So I went and did it. (Small code base, nearly flat learning curve)... I've just sent a patch into cygwin-patches that implements text-data and binary-data support for /dev/clipboard in cygwin. That should make your integration quite a bit easier... (assuming it gets accepted). If you want to try it, grab a current cygwin build tree and apply the patch. /dev/clipboard doesn't support seeking (yet) but it does support sequential read and writes. It's a little! slow if you do thousands of small writes (It has to realloc (total size written+new write size) every write because the windows clipboard is _not_ stream based but other than that it's nice and fast. Reads are trivial, as are large writes. It's kinda neat doing cat foo > /dev/clipboard and having it work :] I presume that most X software/the X server/somewhere in there there is support for the concept of /dev/clipboard - so you should be able to just enable that support and rebuild to make use of it. If /dev/clipboard was already active, but lacking cygwin actually handling writes, then just updating the cygwin1.dll will get it going for you.

Heh... I have three reason for working on this project and two of them is similar to Suhaib's reasons. 1) When I was in my introduction to computer science course at Carnegie Mellon I wanted to use an X server on my Windows machine to display X apps running on the computers in the lab. I wanted to use my Windows machine because it had a nicer mouse than my Linux machine, plus then I wouldn't have to juggle keyboards and mice all over the place when I wanted to run X apps. I looked for a free Windows X server but the only one I found was pretty worthless. Ever since then it has been a goal of mine to give all the engineering and computer science students out there a free Windows X server so they don't have to go to the computer labs :) 2) My second goal is world domination for Linux, of course :) Honestly. Linux needs a killer app, but once it gets that killer app it needs a method to slowly penetrate corporate networks. With a free Windows X server an IT manager can give all the Windows users the killer app without having to switch the workstations from Windows to GNU/Linux/KDE/Gnome. After several months/years the people using the killer app will wonder why they can't just have their KDE/Gnome desktop from the X server on their primary computer. That's when corporate workstations start switching to GNU/Linux. :) 3) Commercial Windows X servers for are overpriced. Hopefully the market for commercial Windows X servers has just started to dry up :) Harold Hunt From LeandroD@amdocs.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: LeandroD@amdocs.com (Leandro Dutra) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Error in startxwin.bat Message-ID: <639ACDA029B5D21187000008C7B95663012112A8@bra.amdocs.com> The font name in the rxvt file in startxwin.bat is wrong, Lucidia when it should be Lucida.

Message-ID: <3A635F45.5151C862@bigfoot.com> I'm unable to successfully run xfree86 on a Windows NT system, although the documentation indicates I should be able to do this. The system has Windows NT 4.0 workstation, service pack 6a (which is supposed to have DirectX 3.0). I downloaded & installed cygwin 1.1.7 and xfree86 4.0 (I downloaded the minimal set of xc-4-binaries, according to the doc). Did the setup as the doc says. However, when I attempt to run startxwin.bat, this happens: In the window where XWin is running, the following appears: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb' _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root pwin->width = 00000320 pwin->height = 00000258 pwin->paddedWidth = 00000640 pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010 calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory and then a dialog box appears with Direct Draw Init Failed: Error = 88760078 (uknown error) Does xfree86 require a later DirectX version?

I know. But url's like mirrors page are broken if a user goes to xfree86.cygwin.com. This needs to be fixed one of three ways. 1) turn xfree86.cygwin.com off 2) redo the whole site replace "../mirrors.htm" & similar with " http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.htm " 3) make the xfree86.cygwin.com return a 301 or 302 HTTP status line & a Location header which will send browsers to " http://www.cygwin.com/xfree86 " > When I mentioned using cygwin.com I really meant that if you are referring to > the cygwin project I'd prefer going using cygwin.com. You can do what you > like with your web page, of course. I understood it the way you describe it. The issue I am referring to is a corollary of moving from a sub-dir on every alias to a domain prefix on one or more alias's.. We currently refer to cygwin.com & sources.redhat.com/cygwin by relative paths, not by absolute URL's. This is much more convenient for mirror sites, and when using aliases (such as cygwin.com & sources.redhat.com/cygwin). I don't want to switch to absolute URL's unless there is a recognised benefit. Suhaib may want the ease of reference for other users that xfree86.cygwin.com may bring - so it's his choice.

I know this isn't a cure, but like I said in my message My *UK* keyboard works as it should, well all except the pound sterling key, but this problem happens in cygwin/bash when it's running inside a commmand prompt window - so it's probably due to something else. I do remember reading a message on the list arhives where someone said that editing one of the .h files (i forget which one) would also provide a 'solution'. Of course what would be best is to just be able to say what type of keyboard u are running and everything else to be worked out for u, but hey u can't have everything, and Win9x will die soon anyway. I just can't wait till the second half of the year when I can get Win2K and starting running the XServer at it's full brilliance. cya Sagar On Tue, 2 Jan 2001, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > > OK > but we still have problems with non US keyboards. > > Suhaib > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Collins [ mailto:robert.collins@itdomain.com.au ] > Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 5:28 PM > To: Suhaib Siddiqi; cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: Keyboard Prob > > > Suhab, > Sagar used Harold's Test7 and it worked.....

It is straight forward, the rules that are needed are: * No relative references outside of the subdomain (ie, mailing list, the mirrors page etc) all need to be http://www.cygwin.com/foo ). * Exception to the above - server files that are mapped into the foo.cygwin.com namespace can be used (ie if you make a unix link at xfree/htdocs/mirrors.html that takes us to the real mirrors.com behind the scenes. * Document all such exceptions clearly. - If you want sub-dir access (www.cygwin.com/xfree) & sub domain access in parallel: * No references to / are allowed in the site. Absolute or .. style uri paths ONLY. - If you want only sub domain access: * All mirror sites need to be explicitly informed of the sub domain. Document this as well so people don't have an expectation that their files will be mirrored. * Try to remove sub-path aliases references once the sub domain is running (remove references to http://www.cygwin.com/xfree - including in your mailing list archives :] ). note that running both sub domain and sub dir helps with mirroring.

I've gone to the Diamond Multimedia web site and gotten the most current NT driver. Still no change in behavior. The web site also had Linux/xfree86 drivers but I can't really use those, since they're all Linux executables. Or is there something I should do with those? I've gone through the list archives and nothing else seems obvious. There was some discussion of xf86config, but several messages indicate that cygwin/xfree86 doesn't need that config file (I assume that DirectX is hiding all the gory details?).

I'm not sure if 24 bpp or 15 bpp works though, cause my display can only do 16 and 32 bpp; 16 and 32 bpp have been tested on my machine. This release has much better chances of working on those problem machines that are out there, so please give it a try. Those of you running at 8 bits per pixel will also notice that I have started working on supporting 8 bits. The server will currently startup in 8 bits per pixel, but it doesn't have the correct colormap yet, so colors are mostly black with some pink and yellow thrown in for fun :) Enjoy, Harold L Hunt From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Development Status Update 8 Message-ID: <000101c09a27$e614f8b0$21ab0a23@huntharo> I have been making modest progress on the Windows GDI based Cygwin/XFree86 development; most recently I was able to finally get transparent stipple fills working. Transparent stipple fills turned out to be a little harder than I thought, as they must be decomposed into about 4 raster ops in Windows GDI. I first implemented the transparent stipple fill logic in a stand-alone test program, which worked fine; however, my first run of implementing transparent stipple fills in Cygwin/XFree86 has produced some unexpected results... I'm going to revisit the transparent stipple fill code in a day or two to figure out my error. I should see the familiar X startup background after fixing stipple fills and developing a color translation model for the Windows GDI Cygwin/XFree86 server. At that point I'll probably send out a development snapshot so people can see what I have been up to. I should be resubscribed to the mailing list within a few minutes. My new email address is huntharo at msu daught edu.

I am sorry I do not have control on XFree86.Org CVS, They can decide what to put in CVS. From your mil it seems to me the sample site and host def files are not included, right? XF86 organization does not provide sample site and host def files for other systems. Therefore they must have excluded it. Sample and host def files are highly your system dependent and what you want to do beside standard things. The standard 'MUST" compile stuff and flags are in cygwin.cf files therefore I said you create blank site and host def file and should be able to compile the cygwin/xfree.

I found that the startx.bat file is incomplete. It sets a display variable and does nothing more than that. The startdx.bat file does a bit more. When using this batch file this resulted in errors concerning the whereabouts of the rgb.txt file and the fonts. All of which were in the right place and even if I specified them on the commandline of the server this did not help. Other people on this list have experienced the same (dmg@tragsatec.es). Then on this list someone suggested to use the commercial x-server demo X-Win32 5.1. There is a trail version that works for 30 days (I'm not sure what the URL is) and after that for periods of 2 hours in a row. Since I'm not planning to use it any longer that seemed fine for me. Installing it was very easy and after some experimenting I found that the x11.dll that comes with the cygwin distribution had to be copied to the windows/system directory. After I had done that everything was functioning perfectly. From the cygwin prompt I could then start a program specifying the machine name and display number something like ./prog.exe -display zen:0.0 Hope this helps.

I'm sorry if you are offended by a request to read the mail archives, but on this *bleeding edge* list, we get a fair number of repeat questions.

You have a problem. DirectX is reporting an invalid parameter on the call made to it by Xfree86. Noone has reported this problem before, or a (best case) patch or (worst case) FAQ entry would have been created. > I've tried about everything I can think of but nothing helps.

Let's see, mind probe on, ah yes I can tell what you tried. /Sarcasm. Please provide the steps you took to troubleshoot this, along with the output of dxdiag's "save all information" dump, which may give one of the programmers (I don't hack on Xfree86 myself) some insight into your problem. Also include any details you can think of that may be relevant. I'm not sure if you have read the FAQ, and I'll assume you have from here on in. Windows is not a very reliable platform to build a user interface on. The device drivers are inconsistent, the error codes usually confusing, and there is no way to peek under the covers and check when that is the case. If you are assuming we have even the faintest idea what is happening within your machine, don't - we only know what we are told by you, and any guesses we make are likely to be wrong (thanks Microsoft!). > And belive me mr Siddiqi, I have searched this archive about ten times for a > solution, but I haven't found any answers anywhere. So please, think one > more time before you send such a childish reply to the list!!! Mr Siddiqi is _the creator of the cygwin port of Xfree86_. You may think he was rude, but I am confident you that if you provide appropriate debug information (other than the terse reports provided to date) you are going to see at least some attempt to assist you. Anyway... I'm not the list maintainer, but I think the issue of rudeness vs politness will lead into a flame war so lets drop that angle and focus on : your mouse is broken with respect to Xfree86, you have tried a number of unspecified things with no joy, and would like a hand...

Unfortunately, at present, Cygwin/XFree86 is to picky that you probide a good UNIX emulations. I suggest using start xterm :0 not xterm -display :0. Did you try it? Also what you can do, you can add no hup commands at the end of /usr/X11R6/bin/startx script, (the paths should be in UNIX style) USe vim to edit startx script, not wordpad please. Start a bash shell, cd to /usr/X11R6/bin and type startx, let see if that starts your Xserver and brings up xterminal. If you find in your bash window a lot of errors, ": not found" then you may have corrupted you installation. In that case all you need to do delete the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory, downlaod xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 and install it. All the text files which X uses reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Precompiled *.exe, *.dll and *.lib should be fine.

NOTE: This is the first time and last time I am cc'ing message to Cygwin/Xfree list because I do not know how many have subscribed to win32-x11 list and how many of you are aware of a MSVC project for X11. Future mails/posts concerning this project will be posted only to win32-x11 list at http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 . The server is stable, although it needs much more work. I might release the next version within a couple of weeks which would have more extensions built in. I need to clean up the source code. At present I build the xc directory in bit and pieces to get X-server compiled. Imakefiles needs a lot of patching which would allow "nmake World.Win32" to build the entire X11R6.5.11 tree with Win32 X-server, using MSVC 6.x. I will most probably upload the clean code base to CVS repository of win32-x11 this weekend. Download win32-x11.tar.bz2 from the same server you downloaded this archive. 1)Unpack win32-x11.tar.bz2 into \XWIN32 2) Delete XWin.exe and startx.bat from XWin32\bin 3) Put XWin32.exe and startx.bat from this archive into \XWIn32\bin 4) From a DOS shell type startx THINGS TO-DO: ============ 1) Build all the most common extension. At present server supports only SHAPE extension 2) Build SGI GLX extension. 3) Clean up code of SGI GLU library from SGI OpenGL SI ( http://oss.sgi.com/projects ) so it compiles with MSVC (Visual C++). SGI GL library compile. ANYONE WILLING TO HELP CLEAN UP SGI GLU code for MSVC? 4) Far fetched plan - no where close to reality at the moment unless I have some serious contributors - Implement a Windows manager to integrate X into Win32 Desktop for multi-windowing. THIS SERVER DOES NOT USE ANY CODE FROM XFREE86. IT IS A PURE X11R6.5.11 BASED FROM X.ORG. NONE OF THE EXECUTABLE OR LIBRARY USE CYGWIN1.DLL THEREFORE NO XTERM, XDM AND LBX (LIBPROXY).

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients. Did you check in your \winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory if you have hosts file, if you do make srue you have the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in it. Can you ping to, from a DOS shell, ping 127.0.0.1?

It shouldn't. The only thing that strace does is run the program "as a debugger".

Here's what he said: (note I haven't tried this yet but will as soon as I get a chance) So, the answer to the question about compiling enlightenment and getting undefines, is that you would need a version of the X(free86) files that supports XShm because the current release doesn't. --Kevin -----Original Message----- From: edward [ mailto:tailbert@yahoo.com ] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 6:35 PM To: Kevin Wright Subject: Re: XShm Sure. I'd check the latest cygwin xfree... since there was just a release. I don't know if that has shm stuff in it. but who knows, mebbe it does. If it doesn't, then you have to do a bit of work. you have to check out the cvs xfree86 code, and update two files: xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf ================= Change #define HasShm NO to #ifndef HasShm #define HasShm NO #endif Change #define ExtraLibraries to #ifndef ExtraLibraries #define ExtraLibraries #endif xc/config/cf/site.def =============== Insert the following (I put it in the before vendor section) #define HasShm YES #define ExtraLibraries -lcygipc then recompile *everything*, especially: lib/X11 ====== in Font.c: take out the cygipc.h code. should be just #ifdef HAS_SHM #include #include #endif in Imakefile: add to the Shm section: # ifdef cygwinArchitecture REQUIREDLIBS = -lcygipc # endif lib/Xext ====== in Imakefile add: PROJECT_DEFINES = -DHAS_SHM to the section on HasShm lib/Xv ==== no change, just remember to compile. Sorry I can't give you diffs. I've hacked my X source so thoroughly i don't know if it works anymore :) Of course you need the cygipc package too. 1.09 i think is the latest version. cheers, edward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Wright" To: "Edward" Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:35 PM Subject: FW: XShm > Edward, > > J-d> Is there a way to compile source code that uses XShm (like Imlib2 > J-d> for instance) under cygwin ? > > Do you happen to know how to do this?

If the flags for your mounts are not 'binmode', then you're either going to have to reinstall Cygwin and choose UNIX mode mounts (as per the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide instructions), or you can look at the Cygwin documentation to remount your Cygwin partitions in UNIX mode.

I have earlier used your Test 7 release, which actually worked pretty OK. I decided to test the new version today. However it failed on startup. I got the following message from the server: winCreateB... () - Adjusted width: 700 height: 500 winScreenInit () - Allocating shadow fb failed And then it crashes with a stackdump. I have tried both my previous settings with 800x600x16 (My Windows display is 1024x768x16) and a lower resolution with 700x500x8 and 700x500x16. I still get the same message when starting.

Unfortunately I can't test it. engine 1 freezes with a black background, engine 2 freezes with a white background, engine 4 doesn't start up and engine 8 freezes with a white background.

You no longer have to specify a "-engine n" parameter. However, you can suggest that the server use a particular engine with an "-engine n" parameter. 4) Made a quick fix to handle the incorrect depth being passed when running the engines in windowed mode. 5) Updated the "XWin -help" message with the new engine codes. 6) Rearranged the internal server structure to new engines to be added more easily, as well as making the current code easier to read and maintain. 7) Test 8 is built against XFree86 4.0.2, as the previous tests in this series. I am currently building Suhaib's patched XFree86 4.0.3 source. If that completes soon I may post a Test 9 shortly that will essentially be a recompilation of Test 8 against the XFree86 4.0.3 sources.

Ok. I've checked it is really 256MB. If you are getting something besides this then you are either using the wrong version of cygwin1.dll or you have the registry key set. Possibly you (Kevin) have more than one version of cygwin on your system. Regardless, one fix is to set the lower value in the registry. This has absolutely nothing to do with compiling things with older versions of cygwin. If you think about it, probably half of the executables in the cygwin distribution were compiled under older versions of cygwin. cgf From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3CDB@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> My understanding is, Harold already has CVS access and he sent him SSH key in november. harold I will email you a short note, step by step instructions.

His suggesions were genuine that you need to do a complete install of Cygwin and then start removing the stuff you think is not needed. This way you will know what is breaking you application. I do agree with Rob that without Cygwin mount points you might get errors. You get error after you rename c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin.no? How about installing everything and making sure you have Cygwin mount points, then remove everything except cygwin1.dll, you application and libX11.dll, BUT leave your application in c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin and Cygwin1.dll in C:\cygwin\usr\bin? The project is called Cygwin/XFree86 because Cygwin is needed for X and dlls to work properly. If your application needs only X11 Dll, and you do not need a complete Cygwin1.dll did you consider porting it using MSVC and using X11R6.5.1 libraries from http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 ? This way you will not need cygwin1.dll and your application and reside on your PC whereever you dump it.

It means that shift+KP7 says shiftpress, shiftrelease, homepress, homerelease, shiftpress, shiftrelease. It should say : shiftpress, KPhomepress, KPhomerelease, shiftrelease, like other keys are acting. In Xwin or Xwin.test.10 : except for what I said before, all keycode are tied to keys. In Xwin w32 : the keycode generated are those from the figures, not from the keys themselves. For example, on french keyboard, the 2nd key on the fist row (normaly "1" and "!" on US keyboard) is supposed to give "&" and "1". Here's what it gives : "&" : KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x1, keycode 24 (keysym 0x26, ampersand), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "&" KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x1, keycode 10 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyRelease event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562401, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x0, keycode 24 (keysym 0x37, 7), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "7" It's like I'm on a US keyboard doing shift+7 In the same idea, the KP_specialkeys are mapped to specialkeys, not KP_specialkeys. In conclusion : Xwin (official or test) can't be used correctly for foreign because of AltGr (the right Alt) not mapped and has some keys oddly mapped (especially KP). Xwin (Win32) can be used with foreign, but because of mapping of keycodes to figure, can't be used with programs reading the hard keys. Hope that helps. CU. . \)|(/ .

Seriously though, Harold pulled out the low level code in the X server in the current port, and started anew: the goal, to build an accelerated X-Server that used directX's line/circle/rect etc functions and work on all win32 OS's.

I noticed the doubled libraries in the link line also; this is an artifact of how configure worked (this makefile was generated automatically). My understanding is that gcc is smart enough to ignore multiple inclusions of libraries unless they're needed to resolve circular library dependencies, so this shouldn't be contributing to the problem. I've used previous versions of LessTif with previous versions of your XFree86 without problems, so I think this glitch has been introduced recently. I'm currently restoring a backup of my /usr/X11R6 directory so I can keep working while I try to figure out the problem. Thanks, by the way, for your work on XFree86 for Cygwin.

I can start the xserver and start applications locally. However, I would like to use the W2000 X-environment as an X terminal for my Linux machine. This does not work. When I start the xserver on my Windows 2000 box with the -broadcast option, the login screen of my Linux server becomes visible. However when I log on, the kde2 window manager seems to be starting, but it never finishes the startup procedure. I use SuSE 7.0, and the latest KDE2environment (version 2.01). Is using xfree on cygwin in this way supported? If so, how can I make this work?

The color under the letters I type is white, while the rest of the background remains khaki. I guess it's a KDE thing...

I get the errors that I report below. I checked the archives of this mailing list and I found somebody reporting something similar just before Christmas ("back creation failed") but the discussion seems to have died with the break. I also saw some previous message suggesting that it may have to do with the driver for the video card, but no solution suggested. I also read in the documentation that there is a port of DirectX for cygwin, but that it's only needed for compiling xfree but shouldn't be needed for running it. I also played around with the settings in startxwin.bat (as suggested by the abovementioned discussion) but to no avail. This is my current startxwin.bat: @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e bash start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start /B vtwm What I get is first a complaint that vtwm can't be found (or some of its components), then the server seems to try to start, but I get a dialogue window saying: Back creation failed Error=887601b3(unkwon error) When I press OK I get another similar window with: Direct Draw Init Failed Error=887601b3(Unknow Error) I installed all of the following packages: xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar xfree86-4.0-Xmh.tar xfree86-4.0-Xnest.tar xfree86-4.0-Xprt.tar xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar xfree86-4.0-Xvfb.tar xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar xfree86-4.0-devel.tar xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar xfree86-4.0-twm.tar I couldn't find xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 though on the mirror that I used, but rgb.txt appeared in my installation anyway.

After a fresh Win NT 4, sp 6 install and then cygwin / xfree install everything came up fine (meaning I could start Xwin without recieving the error). Then loading the VPN software reimposed the 'Can't connect to host' error. This VPN is by Aventail corp., "Connect 3.1 for Windows". The vpn was configured to secure all traffic to a network and pass everything else untouched, obviously it is not quite leaving other traffic untouched. However there is an option to only secure traffic originating from specific applications and ignore others - selecting Netscape and telnet as the only 'secured' applications solved the problem and X starts up as it did prior to installing the VPN. Now I can access secured servers from my Sun workstation through a Win NT laptop over the VPN. HTH The Windows NT/2000 dual boot (actually quadruple boot, with Win ME, and RH 7.0 Linux) I do Cygwin/XFree86 development work and testing, at home, has CheckPoint VPN Client installed and I never had this problem. Therefore I suspect VPN client is not an issue. I believe problem is somewhere else on your windows. How about setting up in Control panel under System-->ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0?

OIt is coming from libX11 and libdix. Someday I need to fix the setgid, and uid issues. When I was porting XF86 code this used to be a fatal error, because X was looking for user root. I hacked the code so it does not crash, instead return a warning, which is of course a security loophole. A remote user can exploit it. The main concern was to get the XF86 code patched so it work then polish it to perfection. Anyhow, this needs to be fixed. > > I am not sure how to get rid of this message.

This is not detrimental. It has nothing to do with Harold code. This is me when I patched XF86 libraries code. It is a security loophole as I mentioned. Chown or adding a user root won't help. Your Test5 carsh question goes to Harold. That is his code.

Changes: 1) A great developer (John Fortin) once told me that the DDLOCK_NOSYSLOCK flag for IDirectDrawSurface_Lock was not introduced until DirectDraw4, which is not available for Windows NT 4.0. Including that flag causes the surface lock to fail on NT 4.0. I removed the flag from all calls to IDirectDrawSurface_Lock. Please report to the list if you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you can run this test but you could not run previous tests.

I'd prefer just ' http://cygwin.com/ ', actually. Less typing. It's what I've tried to use consistently in the cygwin web pages.

Well, with luck xfree86.cygwin.com will continue to work. sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ still works ok, so I think this is an achievable goal. Thanks for the guidelines.

IIRC there is a problem with textmode mounts and xfree86 at the moment - reinstall using Binary mounts. (just run setup again, and change text to bin on the appropriate screen - you don't need to uninstall). The complaint about libz.dll will be because you haven't isntalled all of X or all of cygwin. Install all of the cygwin packages, not just the cygwin1.dll. Follow the howto referenced above to install X - there are about 3 critical tarballs.

All the cygwin mirrors have undamaged copies of the archives last time I looked. The entire source tree is not appropriate for windows - the hardware framebuffers are not usable on windows. Windows has it's own X-Server which compiles from the same source, but uses DirectX. And yes the XServer is built. There have been several discussions on the list as to building from source (which is not a trivial task). Please search the list archives for "source". The reason you end up with the same source, is that the cygwin changes and XServer have been merged into the Xfree86 source tree. It's now the same. Further development is taking place, and when complete it will also be merged into the Xfree86 source tree.

I made the comment that there would not be a framebuffer based X server for Windows 95/98/Me before I knew about the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer was written by Keith Packard and is located in the XFree86 CVS tree under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadow/. To use shadow framebuffer you allocate an offscreen (shadow) framebuffer and tell your painting code, be it fb, mfb, or one of the cfbs, to paint to the offscreen framebuffer. Then you initialize the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer steps in and wraps all of your previous painting functions with functions that keep track of the area updated by each graphics call. Shadow framebuffer also installs its own BlockHandler that calls a shadowUpdateProc (), supplied by you, that transfers the group of updated areas to the screen. You can use any feasible method in your shadowUpdateProc to transfer the updated regions to the screen. Engine 1 uses a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the DIB by creating it with Win32's CreateDIBSection (). Before you start thinking that DIBs must be slow, you should be informed that DIBs are, I believe, the foundation of DirectDraw. Engine 1's shadowUpdateProc () uses the GDI Blt function to transfer the updated (damaged) regions of the shadow DIB to the screen. Engine 2 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the surface by calling IDirectDrawSurface_Lock (). Engine 2's shadowUpdateProc () uses DirectDraw's IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () to transfer the damaged regions of the shadow framebuffer to the screen. However, before each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Unlock (), as you cannot blit from a locked surface. Consequently, after each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Lock () to reobtain a pointer to the memory of our surface. All of the locking and unlocking adds up, thus Engine 3. Engine 3 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface with client allocated memory as the shadow framebuffer. Client allocated memory means that we allocate a block of memory large enough for the DirectDraw surface, then we tell DirectDraw to treat that memory as a surface. We can then call IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () without having to unlock and relock the surface. Therefore, Engine 3 has some pretty amazing performance. Apparently this technique only works with DirectX 6 or higher, thus it will work on Windows 95/98/Me/2000, but it will not work on NT 4.0. Back to your question. When I made my comment I had briefly thought about writing something similar to the shadow framebuffer code, but I knew that I didn't know enough about update regions and X servers in general to pull it off. I also doubted that the performance would be that great. I started writing a native GDI X server instead. There was a big discussion when I asked questions on the XFree86 devel list related to my native GDI server; the debate primarily centered around whether translating X graphics calls into GDI calls would be faster than using the shadow framebuffer code. I asked what the shadow framebuffer was, and that is how we got here. My old offscreen test 7 did all drawing to an offscreen surface, in a manner similar to how the shadow framebuffer works. However, I had no way to keep track of which, if any, regions of the offscreen framebuffer had been updated. Therefore I decided that fifteen times per second I would transfer the entire offscreen framebuffer to the screen, regardless of whether any of the offscreen framebuffer had been changed. Offscreen test 7 was clearly not ideal; to make it ideal would be to reimplement the shadow framebuffer code. So, that is difference between the old offscreen test 7 and the new shadow framebuffer test 7, and I made my remark because I didn't know of a feasible method of writing a framebuffer based server for Windows 95/98/Me at the time :) I will continue to work on the native GDI server, as there is only one way to answer the performance debate once and for all :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold Hunt From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Corinna Vinschen) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] XWin Key test References: <20010331184419.E8711@cygbert.vinschen.de> Message-ID: <20010331192234.E16622@cygbert.vinschen.de> On Sat, Mar 31, 2001 at 06:59:23PM +0200, Alexander Gottwald wrote: > On Sat, 31 Mar 2001, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > > Unfortunately I can't test it. engine 1 freezes with a black > > background, engine 2 freezes with a white background, engine 4 > > doesn't start up and engine 8 freezes with a white background. > > When freezing, the last line to stderr is "InitInput()". > > > > Looks similar to Harolds Test 14. > Sorry, but its based on Harolds Test, hmm don't know which version but > source is from Mar 29.

Interestingly enough, my reasons for wanting to sponsor this project are similar to Harold's and Suhaib's. I would like to see this project have some effect on the commercial X-on-Windows vendors who are charging an arm and a leg for their efforts. I also would (maybe paradoxically) like to see linux take over everywhere. It also seems (seemed) that the lack of an open-source effort for Windows was long overdue. So, I'm really excited by the progress in this project.

The Cygwin/XFree86 project has ported XFree86 to Windows ME/NT/2000. See "How Complete is it?" for issues with Windows 9x. I believe this should be adjusted to only NT/2000 and 9x/ME since ME behaves just like 9x. cu ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From Martin.Plechsmid@merlin.cz Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin.Plechsmid@merlin.cz (Plechšmíd Martin) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Problems with 1024x768x16 Message-ID: Hello. I run XWin in 1024x768x16 mode. Time from time (but quite often) it happens that the Xserver doesn't start correctly in this mode. After it paints its gray screen it displays the ordinary Windows mouse cursor (the arrow) over it and doesn't react to the mouse movements. After a mouse click the Xserver screen disappears, but the Xserver is still running at the background taking still all the 100% of processor time (which it does even when it runs correctly). No error or unexpected situation is reported, no core is dumped. This happens by running XWin.exe alone, without Xterm etc. I found that the problem gets corrected by starting XWin once in (e.g.) 800x600x16, shutting it down then and restarting it in the original 1024x768x16. Is this a known bug? Or, is this a bug. I run the latest Xfree on NT4 SP6 with the latest CygWin installed.

I am running Windows 98 on a Toshiba 4025CDT Laptop with a Pentium II and 160MB RAM. I installed the latest cygwin this week and dowloaded the Cygwin-XFree86 from a mirror site, installed it and then installed Harold's new XWin.exe. I was getting an error message saying that the SecurityPolicy file could not be opened. I followed the link from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver to find that the link destination did not exist, so I added the proper directory structure and copied the SecurityPolicy file from a Linux system. That cleared up the error. Is this a valid fix or am I going to get further trouble down the road? I have had good success running Test4, but I do get an error (warning?) upon startup _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root I am not sure how to get rid of this message. Using chown to change ownership of the directory to root tells me that there is no user called root. I added a user root, but the chown returned without error, and also without changing anything. I haven't fought this problem too hard because it does not seem to be detrimental. Other than the _XSERVTransmkdir warning, Test4 works very nicely. I downloaded the Test5 XWin.exe.bz2 this morning and decompressed it in /usr/X11R6/bin. I did not download xwin-20010322-1411.tar.bz2 or xc-programs-Xserver-20010320-2100.tar.bz2. Do I need to to get XFree86 to work properly? When I ran the same startxwin.bat batch file from a DOS shell, I got a coredump.

Message-ID: Hi all, I've tried to do my homework, carefully reading the FAQ and mailing list, but I can't find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to get the latest version of Cygwin/xfree to work under Windows NT4 SP6a. This is a reinstallation of NT4/reapplication of SP6a from scratch, followed by upgrading IE to the latest version (and whatever .DLL or other upgrades that may perform). I also upgraded the drivers for my ancient 4MB Matrox Mystique video card to the latest version posted (dated 1998) on the Matrox web site for NT4. My motherboard is an old Intel Seattle with a PIII/400 CPU and 384MB of RAM. I followed the Installation How-To to a tee. I installed the standard Cygwin and all the xfree .tar.bz2 files (dated Dec 3rd I believe) from xfree/xc-4-binaries (including devel and Prog) except for Xmh, Xnest, and Xprt to C:\Cygwin. I copied vtwm.exe to /usr/X11R6/bin so startxwin.bat could find it. When I run startxwin.bat from a DOS command prompt window, X starts up full-screen (Windows desktop goes away of course and I see a few of the "standard" error messages related to locale). I get the stippled background with the "X" cursor in the center *and* the Windows arrow cursor on top of the "X." Then vtwm starts. It puts a small window labeled vtwm in the upper left-hand corner of the screen (pager?) and an outline box (I presume for my xterm) with its upper left-hand corner on the center of the screen asking me to place the new window. At this point, when I move the mouse the Windows arrow cursor moves but the xterm outline doesn't move. X doesn't seem to "see" me moving the mouse. Then when I click the mouse X dies instantly. Full screen X goes away and I'm back to the Windows desktop. I've tried pushing Alt-Tab but it doesn't take me back to the full screen X Windows display. It appears to be gone for good. I'm running Windows in 800x600x16 bit color mode, and the command in startxwin.bat to start XWin.exe uses this mode as well. In fact, I didn't change startxwin.bat at all because it looks OK to me. The thing that puzzles me is I'm not getting any error messages. The window where XWin.exe runs shows this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root pwin->width = 00000320 pwin->height = 00000258 pwin->paddedWidth = 00000640 pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010 calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory calling cfb16ScreenInit( 0a0178f0, 14770000, 00000320, 00000258, 00000064, 00000064, 00000320 ) Successful addition of Screen 0xa017ae8 0xa0178f0 Switch: 0xa0178f0, 0xa01fae0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ and when X dies and I close that window I get in the window where I ran startxwin.bat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This all looks fine to me. All the needed files seem to be in my path as well. Two things I believe I read on some mailing list posts but I wasn't sure about were: 1.) Ownership/permission of files. Does the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix and the X0 socket make any difference? I tried to use chown to change their ownership but it didn't work (I'm a cygwin newbie :^). 2.) Environment variables. Somewhere I believe I read that some env. vars. like TMP, TMPDIR, HOME, and so forth might be needed. Do I need to define these or others to get it working? Or could this problem be related to my video card? It is old and has old drivers. Maybe they don't support something xfree needs. If anyone has any ideas or has seen similar symptoms, I'd appreciate your help identifying and fixing my problem.

Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

If you have a linux box, you can try this with the Gtk color chooser. This is indicated by the field "significant bits in color specification" in the xdpyinfo output. Linux says 6, windows says 8. 24bpp: ------ Here is just the red and blue value switched. The significant bit value is correctly at 8 bits.

Changes: 1) Restart messages, such as the one sent by the "Close Connection" button when using xdcmp, caused the server to crash, as I was not completely closing the screen resources. This has no been fixed. You can send restart messages, till your heart is content, and the Test 10 server will cheerily process them and give you a fresh server every time. I hope :) 2) Neat new feature, as a consequence of 1: you can now run multiple screens in one server, for example: start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -screen 1 800x600x16 start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.1 -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.1 Caveats: Don't try throwing in any -fullscreen parameters.

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: 'Suhaib Siddiqi' Cc: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 3/25/2001 6:14 PM Subject: RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 7 If you are running Windows at any other depth than 16, then yes, it should crash. I just discovered the root of the problem, although the fix will not be in my next release, which is coming up shortly. Basically, it breaks down like this: InitOutput () currently initializes the pixmap formats. InitOutput uses whatever depth was passed on the command line to inititialize the pixmap formats. If you pass the wrong depth, you get the wrong pixmap formats. Later on, in winScreenInit, I correct the depth, but it is too late because the pixmap formats are still incorrect. I'll fix that sometime later this week.

I'll probably need a few weeks, or up to a month to reach the patch submission point, as I want to fix some things and give the code time to be tested, etc. I'll be sure to synchronize any patching with you. Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

I'm encountering multiply-defined symbols while linking UIL clients included with LessTif 0.92.26 with the latest Cygwin XFree86. I'm compiling with Cygwin 1.1.8 (gcc 2.95.3-1) and the binary release of XFree86 4.0.3 for Cygwin from ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/4.0.3 I performed a clean install of Cygwin (uname -a returns CYGWIN_NT-4.0 ZUUL 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) 2001-01-31 10:08 i686 unknown) and untarred the XFree86 tarballs in / to create the /usr/X11R6 hierarchy. I then downloaded the source distribution of LessTif from ftp.hungry.com and extracted it. In the lesstif-0.92.26 directory, I typed ./configure --enable-static and then make The build proceeded until it reached the UIL client directory for Motif-2.0. The first error was about undefined variables "optind" and "optarg" in clients/Motif-2.0/uil/main.c but all I had to do there was add #include . The next error I encountered was during the link stage for newuil.exe: gcc -g -Wall -o newuil.exe newuil.o \ ../../../lib/Uil-2.0/.libs/libUil.a \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt \ ../../../lib/Mrm-2.0/.libs/libMrm.a \ ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x6e0): \ multiple definition of `vendorShellClassRec' /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x0):Vendor.c: \ first defined here ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x774): \ multiple definition of `vendorShellWidgetClass' /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x94):Vendor.c: \ first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have the Hummingbird Exceed XDK installed also; I did a "strings libXm.lib libXt.lib | grep vendorShellClassRec" and determined that both libraries contain references to that string. I'm unsure which library should be defining it. Since this is a collision between libraries from two different sources, I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm sending this to both the cygwin-xfree mailing list and to lesstif@hungry.com. I searched the cygwin-xfree archives for "lesstif" and found some references to the "getopts" problem I mentioned above, but nothing about multiply-defined symbols.

In the xc directory using the command make World > world.log I compiled the source code. I obtained several errors. In this mail-list Suhaib Siddiqi suggested to use the source present in the CVS repository where these problems there aren't. When I downloaded the code from the CVS in the xc/config/cf directory I didn't find the cygwin.def file and then I sent a request to this list asking if I have to do same change before compiling. The same Suhaib Siddiqi said me to change site.cygwin in site.def and something related to host.cygwin Where I can find these file? Thanks Daniele > > > Daniele, > > Where is the error showing up?

(Win98SE, Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, ATI Rage Mobility graphics card) It took a while, but eventually I got everything going quite well [well good for win98 anyway] I got those keyboard errors, or crashes as I called them too. So I started going through the mailing list archives and found a thread starting with the following message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2000-q4/msg00599.html This seemed to lay the blame (possibly) on rgb.txt I had this file, but was still getting the error .....[blah blah blah] to cut a long story short things started not crashing when I installed: xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 the rgb.txt from this was identical to the one I had before, so I can only guess that something else that this provided (or replaced) fixed the problem. WARNING: people on Win98 will need to reapply (or pre-save) XWin.exe and xf_dx.dll, as the tar will overwrite the test7 versions with some other versions. I just thought I'd share my experiance, just in case it helps someone else, obviously this isn't a proper explanation of why the problem was occuring in the first place. I then went on the edit the startx shell script that the above archive placed in /usr/X11R6/bin/. I also created an xinitrc file in /etc/X11/xinit/. And the result is that I can how start the Xserver nicely from typing startx at a normal Cygwin (ie. command prompt) window. [and I can also exit the x-server with out it crashing]. If anyone is interested I can share further details on this. What this leads me to ask is why is startx not included in the normal binaries? (ie. why does someone need to install the devel one too?). I can see the point of startxwin.bat, it lets you start the xserver without having a cygwin window up before hand, but it still uses (at least) one empty window. The nice thing about startx and xinitrc is that at least it is more standard, in the sense that we don't have to start xterms etc from a DOS batch file etc, and it matches linux implementations a little (i think, not that I know anything about linux). I also have a nice Xmodmap file, that gives 'proper' (or at least less wrong) keyboard key bindings for UK Keyboards.

I believe this is a FAQ already discussed on this list. Please try downloading from the directory cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries on one of the mirror sites the file xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2, the same way you installed the other XFree86 .tar.bz2 files. Installing the -devel tarball solves this problem in some cases. HTH.

Message-ID: Hi all, I've been able to get XFree working on NT4 SP6a, but only in 8-bit color depth. 16-bit and 24-bit "run," but the colors are wrong. When you export netscape from Linux to the XFree on NT display, the resulting colors are strange, I'm not sure how to explain it. It looks exactly the same as trying to display a 16-bit or 32-bit color app on an 8-bit only display. There's a weird "rainbow" effect to icons displayed, for example. I've tried changing color depth to 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit on the Windows desktop, and also changing resolution to 800x600 and 1024x768. This doesn't change the color behavior I'm seeing for XFree. [BTW, I can confirm that XFree showing the Windows arrow cursor and crashing on the first mouse click is caused by trying to run XFree in the same resolution and color depth as Windows is running.] I'm wondering if this color depth problem means something is wrong with the drivers for my video card (ancient Matrox Mystique, last drivers posted in 1998).

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients. Did you check in your \winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory if you have hosts file, if you do make srue you have the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in it. Can you ping to, from a DOS shell, ping 127.0.0.1? In the 4.0.3 release, you may find harold test 9, /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin95.exe, rename XWin.exe to XWin.exe.orig and copy XWin95.exe to Win.exe, and trty startxwin.bat from a DOS shell.

On Cygwin we are doing software GLX rendering that is going to be a bit slower compare to SGI. The Windows won't allow GLX to access hardware without crashing whole damn thing. I spent several weeks to get it working at least in software rendering mode. Are you having remote network drives mounted on your NT workstation?

I have a Compaq Pro Workstation, Dual PP200's, 256 MB RAM and an old Matrox Millenium. I have the lastest CygWin binaries (I ran that neat update utility). I followed the instructions that came with the distro. I searched and read all of the threads in the mail archive to no avail. I copied all of the files from the development code (after reading that it might be needed). I checked the winxstart.bat and debugged it enough to know it not that batch file. I did damn near everything I could think of and I am now going to ask for help before I try this on another machine or just quit and go back to using Exceed. I get the following error ( I did search for all of the other messages with that "error 104" and I tried all of the suggestions gives): fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I guess this means that my X server won't start. (Duh!!) I am at a loss as to why it won't. So my question is: What is the next step? Also: Is the shell script startx actually supposed to work? Does that SuperProbe have any use? Is it supposed to work?

The differences are Cygwin/Xfree86 is a Xfree86 source code base ported to Windows using Cygwin. Advatange a lot of this like xterm and LBDX which cannot be compiled with MSVC. Disadvantage underlying UNIX emulation layer (Cygwin1.dll) does compromise performance. > > Win32-X11 Compiled with Visual c++ > Why use, why not.. who maintains?? Where to get info > Nothing we want to see.. ? :-) For the folks who does not want Cygwin1.dll. It is based upon X COnsortium code. thatis no extra features and enhancements added by Xfree86 to base X11R6.x.x. A lot of X applications are compiled using MSVC and X11.dll for MSVC. Here you have whole set of X11R6.5.11 and a server which does not depend of UNIX emulation layer. Therefore it has several advantages. I maintain it, as I maintain Cygwin/Xfree86 project too. You get Win32-X11 infor from http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 . > > Cygwin X86 Compiled with cygwin's gcc > It is the best, no reason to not use, guys maintaining > and using it can be found in cygwin-xfree@... same guy who started Cygwin/Xfree86 can be found at Win32-X11 too. GCC has advatanges so does MSVC too. > > Shadowbetas: CygwinX86 tests to get something working.. The aim is to get a stable server which would work on all Windows OS. > > XGGI: > Old unmaintained.. any special reason for using this? Not maintained any more because XF86 works now. Too many under lying emulation layers cygwin --> GGI --> GII --> DirectX ---> finally X. Only reason to play with it if you are a fan of GGI, in that case you can takeover that project and contribute.

Jeremy one more thing can you check. Have you by chance Windows IP Security turned on? This crap works best only if you are using M$ Windows servers, otherwise you run into a lot of problems. When i first installed Win2K RC2 I enabled Windows 2K IP Security and a lot of applications which depends on IP broke. You can find check right mouse on My Network Places on your Desktop then choose Properties from Network and Dial-up Connections, right mouse button on Local Area Connections and choose Properties Higlight Internal Protocl (TCP/IP) and choose Properties Button Then Advance Button Go to Options Tab Higlight IP Security and you should have "Do not use IPSEC" box checked. If not then check it and uncheck the "Use this IP security Policy" box. Then highlight TCP/IP filtering and make sure "Enable TCP/IP Filtering (All Adapters) box is unchecked.

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients.

The good news is that I got everything to build! Boy was that a fun exercise! I can see how much hard work you've done to check in the cygwin-specific code to make this work. Thanks again. I'm very happy to have an up-to-date set of X files to work with! The bad news is that due to changes in cygwin's compiler (version 2.95.2-7), the windows header files aren't found by default. I had to change the makefiles for the dll's to gcc -mwin32 to get this to work. IIRC, they recently went from -DWIN32 being the default to having to use -mwin32 to get the windows headers. Also the these files are now located in /usr/include/w32api. (gcc 2.95.2-8 is due out soon, so this might change again) One other thing, the freetype-def.cpp file seems to be missing. I managed to create one myself and subsequently built the libfreetype.dll. I realize that your not in charge of the sources in cvs so I'll look for the appropriate people to contact.

X should return only the scancodes of the keys, not the symbol. eg. pressing the key "a" should result in sending the keycode 38, which is then mapped to the keysym 0x61 (a), XWin returs keycode 71, and maps this to keysym 0x61 (a). If Xwin is running standalone, there is no problem. But as soon as you connect to a remote system, which sets a special modmap (eg. the german keymap), the mapping is completely strange. The default keymap expects for keycode 71 the key "F5". If you try xkeycaps on Xwin, you will see that the keycodes are not mapped to the correct keys (not symbols). If we return the correct keycodes, the modmaps from linux will work for xwin too. Since i now got X to build, I will investigate the keycode problem and hope to provide a fix, which is closer to the linux X server. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: xfree86 runs but programs can't connect to it References: <200102061602.IAA06222@mail10.bigmailbox.com> Message-ID: <003b01c09090$a2d5b9e0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> This may seem silly - but do you have tcp/ip installed on your laptop?

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, David W To: 'cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com' Sent: 1/30/2001 4:54 PM Subject: Reversed/inverted colors Hello, I have searched the archives with no success, so I'll ask here. I have successfully installed Cygwin and the XWin server on my NT 4.0 system (NT 4.0 [Build 1381 SP 6a], Gateway E-5200, 3DLabs Video adapter [GLINT R3/Oxygen VX1], Dell Trinitron [P1110] monitor) It's great! It's Fast! It's color confused. It behaves as if the red/blue inputs are reversed. By this I mean that an "xsetroot -solid red" gives a blue background, "xsetroot -solid blue" gives a red background, while "xsetroot -solid green" gives a green background. But it isn't that simple, because "xsetroot -solid dimgray" (which is defined in rgb.txt as "105 105 105") gives a steelblue sort of color. It is NOT monitor nor adapter-to-monitor cable dependant, as I have switched both of those with no change in behavior.

(Win98SE, Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, ATI Rage Mobility graphics card) It took a while, but eventually I got everything going quite well [well good for win98 anyway] I got those keyboard errors, or crashes as I called them too. So I started going through the mailing list archives and found a thread starting with the following message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2000-q4/msg00599.html This seemed to lay the blame (possibly) on rgb.txt I had this file, but was still getting the error .....[blah blah blah] to cut a long story short things started not crashing when I installed: xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 the rgb.txt from this was identical to the one I had before, so I can only guess that something else that this provided (or replaced) fixed the problem. WARNING: people on Win98 will need to reapply (or pre-save) XWin.exe and xf_dx.dll, as the tar will overwrite the test7 versions with some other versions. I just thought I'd share my experiance, just in case it helps someone else, obviously this isn't a proper explanation of why the problem was occuring in the first place. I then went on the edit the startx shell script that the above archive placed in /usr/X11R6/bin/. I also created an xinitrc file in /etc/X11/xinit/. And the result is that I can how start the Xserver nicely from typing startx at a normal Cygwin (ie. command prompt) window. [and I can also exit the x-server with out it crashing]. If anyone is interested I can share further details on this. What this leads me to ask is why is startx not included in the normal binaries? (ie. why does someone need to install the devel one too?). I can see the point of startxwin.bat, it lets you start the xserver without having a cygwin window up before hand, but it still uses (at least) one empty window. The nice thing about startx and xinitrc is that at least it is more standard, in the sense that we don't have to start xterms etc from a DOS batch file etc, and it matches linux implementations a little (i think, not that I know anything about linux). I also have a nice Xmodmap file, that gives 'proper' (or at least less wrong) keyboard key bindings for UK Keyboards.

It will take me awhile to dig it up, if it still exists. Also, the code for Test 7 is no big feat... it is basically a clean up of the original code, and a few minor modifications to render to an offscreen framebuffer. Test 7 also requires that you have Visual C++, as Test 7, like the original framebuffer based server, uses a seperate DLL for all functions that must call Win32 API functions. Shortly after Test 7, I began working on allowing the Win32 API calls to be made directly from XWin.exe; I suceeded at this, and have since been working on implementing each of the graphics functions required for an X server. Apparently there is a newer method of doing a simple port to an exisiting windows system: the shadow FB code. Shadow FB was written by Keith and is located under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadowfb/, and an example of its use is in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/vesa/. Shadow FB is nearly identical to Test 7, except that Shadow FB keeps track of when the framebuffer has been modified, and which sections have been modified. That way, only the modified sections must be transferred to the screen; this really cuts down the CPU usage and results in an acceptable system, whereas Test 7 is unacceptable. Now, I'm not looking at doing a shadow FB port of XFree86 to Windows; we open source developers tend to scratch our itches, and my particular itch is to learn the intricacies of implementing an X server and I want to learn about the Windows GDI. Shadow FB would allow you to quickly implement an X server that would work on both Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000. Personally, I think you should go for it, or, a lot of people should go for it. I'll keep plodding away at the GDI based X server. :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Hairyes [ mailto:rhairyes@lee.k12.nc.us ] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 10:22 PM To: huntharo@msu.edu Subject: TEST7 Harold, Thanks for all your help this far.

<7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3BC8@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> This is really DDD issue, which needs to be fixed. The order of libraries in your Makefiles, generated by configure script of DDD, are wrong. You can either manually edit the Makefiles or fix the configure script. I quote you from www.lesstif.org FAQ, which DDD folks should consider reading too. "The order in which you should specify these options is -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE Of course not all of these libraries are always necessary, but in some cases more libraries may be required." On many systems in the Makefiles, if 0lXm is after -lXt you get unresolved symbols thus your ./configure failed with ambiguous error message of "Xm not found or not in your path... something like that" Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Chuck.Irvine@mail.sprint.com To: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com; cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com; ddd@gnu.org Sent: 1/30/2001 6:47 PM Subject: ddd-3.2.98 configure problem on cygwin (sorry for previous - no subject) I'm trying to build ddd-3.2.98 on cygwin and am getting the error below when invoking configure.

If you are using heavy OpenGL graphics software, and your server is remote then you would have a slow display with most of the X-server. That is because your X is constantly sending back and forth the big packets. The XWin.exe has SGI GLX extension statically linked. It could not use dynamic loading of modules therefore all the most common 19 extensions were are statically linked.

Test 12 on W2KSP1, DirectX8a tends to flicker. While moving the mouse, often big horizontal areas of the X root window flicker white for a fraction of a second. This happens with engine 2 and engine 4 and if the server may choose the engine by itself (so I assume it's 2 or 4 then). That effect doesn't happen with engine 1 and engine 8 (but 8 is pretty slow). Test 12 keyboard doesn't behave well. Left Shift, Left Control and Left Alt return the same keycodes and symbols as the corresponding right keys which disallows native keyboard settings again. And then I'm missing something. How do I set a key to be "mode" for the native characters? Somehow my settings for the third character set in my xmodmap file are ignored.

It will be difficult to do so unless you can provide details. I'm not aware of anything wrong with unistd.h. If there are problems we obviously need to know the details to the problems. Since hundreds of people are using the package, it's not likely that the problems are trivial. I will point out that getopts is a builtin for BASH and /bin/sh != bash. /bin/sh == ash. I don't know if this helps or not.

I've tried reinstalling Cygwin and XFree carefully following the docs as well as installing the MS VisualC version of XFree and the results are always the same -- 'unable to open display "127.0.0.1:0.0"'. I'm not completely certain that DirectX 8 was the cause of this, however, I've noticed that others on the list recently appeared to be having similar problems and wondered if perhaps they had also upgraded to DirectX 8.

Out of curiosity, Harold: You said in one of the older posts that there won't ever be a stable framebuffer-based X server for W9x/Me, right?

If anyone has had a similar problem with their laptops I would be grateful for any help I can get on this.

This might give more information. In your cygwin.cf add the following flags -DDEBUG -DSMART_DEBUG also add the flag -DNeedFunctionPrototypes.

This server seems to have the highest performance. D) A DirectDraw3 based primary framebuffer server "-engine 4" Engine 4 has the worst performance and is not as complete as the other servers, and it probably never will be complete, as the performance doesn't warrant the effort. 2) Each server can be run in two modes A) Standard windowed mode, this is the default B) Full screen mode, accessible via the "-fullscreen" parameter 3) All engines, except engine 4, clip their output to their display window. 4) All engines, except engine 4, redraw areas of their display window that has been covered and reexposed by another application's window. 5) All engines should automatically detect the color masks 6) Engines 2, 3, and 4 change the video mode to the mode specified on the command line. However, these engines do not currently verify that the mode is valid, nor do they fallback on another mode, they simple exit if the mode cannot be set. 7) Engines 1, 2, and 3 can be minimized and moved all over the screen without crashing. 8) A bug was fixed in the window repainting code that caused an infinite loop. I lost track of whether I ever released a version that contained that bug; but it is fixed now, so who cares? :) 9) All engines allow you to specify modes that will hang your computer. I'm not kidding... be careful what engine and mode you specify. 10) Engine 4 will freeze Window 95/98/Me in its tracks, don't try to run it on those versions of Windows. Besides, engines 1, 2, and 3 are much faster than engine 4, so you have no reason to try running engine 4. 11) Engine 3 only works when you have DirectX 6+ installed. 12) Mouse wheel support, just in case you missed the last couple of announcements :) This release has some rough edges in the video mode department; I recommend that you pass your current video mode, including your current color depth, as your '-screen' parameter. Thanks to John Fortin for pointing me in the direction of a client memory DirectDraw shadow surface, which allowed the non locking server to be created; also thanks for the example code. As a side note, the Shadow Framebuffer Test name is now a misnomer, as the server includes an engine that writes directly to the primary framebuffer, without the need for the shadow fb code. Also note that I have removed the old Overlay and No DirectInput Test 7 page from my home pages to avoid confusion with Shadow Framebuffer Test 7. Here is my short term agenda for the Shadow Framebuffer Test series: 1) Autodetect which engines are supported by a particular computer. 2) Ignore command line engine parameters that specify an engine that is not supported by a particular computer. 3) Verify and/or adjust video modes passed in on the command line. 4) Choose the most desirable engine supported by a platform when the used does not specify an engine on the command line. 5) When running in fullscreen, fall back on a video mode close to the suggested mode if the suggested mode is not supported. 6) Reorganize the internal branching on the current engine type to keep the code manageable and to allow easy insertion of the 5th engine: a native GDI engine. 7) Build the modified sources on a brand new Cygwin installation so I can find all modifications that I have made along the way. 8) Submit patches to Cygwin and XFree86 with fixes that I have implemented along the way. 9) Work on the native GDI engine. At some point the code for the Shadow Framebuffer Test series will probably be checked into the XFree86 CVS tree overtop of the current hw/xwin code, as it provides the functionality of the current hw/xwin code, in addition to new functionality.

Compiling Xfree86 will not make a difference. However, if you have Visual C++, try downloading xf_dx.dll source code from "drivers" directory and compile it on your workstation. On OpenDx mailing list many users complain that DLLs were not loading. It turns out that I compiled OpenDX on Win2K using VC 6.0 SP4, and Windows NT 4/ Win9x users had problems. The problem was traced back to a couple of different export symbols in MSVCRT.DLL. Aparaently, THANKS to MICROSOFT rubbish, that NT4/Win9x had a couple of different export symbols in msvcrt.dll then on Win2K. One of the fix was to copy mscvrt.dll from Win2K and put it in windows\system32 directory (according to one user), other use MSVC and compile it on your workstation.

I pulled the contributor hints off the DFR page and put them on the development home page. I fixed several of the developer documentation links that were broken; most of the broken links were to PDFs on Digital/Compaq servers, I ended up mirroring all of the documents on my MSU account; all of the PDF links point to my mirror. I resynchronized the User's Guide on xfree86.cygwin.com to match my latest editing (which, oddly enough, took place in November of 2000). I added a link to the Development site on the Cygwin/XFree86 home page and renamed the link to the Installation How-To to "User's Guide". Now I have a working system whereby I can frequently update the development website with the results of my and, hopefully, others efforts.

If you have the test-version, you have to create your own xmodmap since the returned keyscodes are based on the windows country settings. If you have the stable version, the default modmap from xfree86 for linux should help. but anyway, if you work within XWin, you will learn the weird keymaping very quickly. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3752 349 80 80 From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 9 Message-ID: <000001c0b5b8$46b94210$2fab0a23@huntharo> I just posted Test 9 to my usual announcement page: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/ Test 9 is the same as Test 8 except that is compiled using the XFree86 4.0.3 source code.

It works very well but I'm having trouble using the keypad under emacs during a remote session -- certain keypad keys appear to be using the same keycodes as the arrow keys. For example, xev shows that both the DOWN arrow and the KEYPAD 2 keys are returning a keycode of 88 with a keysym of KP_Down. Under XFree, Emacs can't really tell the difference between these keys. This doesn't appear to be a problem under Linux or while using the Windows version of Emacs locally. Using NumLock changes *both* arrows and keypad keysyms to KP_2 but this isn't a very good solution. Can anyone tell me if there's a fix for this? Ultimately, I'd like KEYPAD 2 to return a keysym of KP_2 and the DOWN arrow to return a keysym of Down or KP_Down. Thanks!

If you have a linux box, you can try this with the Gtk color chooser. This is indicated by the field "significant bits in color specification" in the xdpyinfo output.

Thanks for your reply. I did an archive search and found some references to the fixed font problem. As a result, I was able to use my xfree86 build again by taking xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 and installing it in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory. What I don't understand is why I don't have all the correct fonts from the cvs archive of xfree86? Does that mean that my build did not complete correctly or that the cvs archive doesn't have all the fonts needed? When I compare the fonts from my build with the ones from xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2, I see the following: WORKING NOT WORKING ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ du -h fonts $ du -h fonts.orig 702k fonts/100dpi 139k fonts.orig/100dpi 624k fonts/75dpi 138k fonts.orig/75dpi 1.0k fonts/CID 1.0k fonts.orig/CID 217k fonts/cyrillic 53k fonts.orig/cyrillic 219k fonts/encodings/large 118k fonts.orig/encodings/large 277k fonts/encodings 167k fonts.orig/encodings 508k fonts/latin2/100dpi 115k fonts.orig/latin2/100dpi 460k fonts/latin2/75dpi 118k fonts.orig/latin2/75dpi 970k fonts/latin2 233k fonts.orig/latin2 512 fonts/local 512 fonts.orig/local 3.1M fonts/misc 248k fonts.orig/misc 18k fonts/PEX 14k fonts.orig/PEX 269k fonts/Speedo 269k fonts.orig/Speedo 4.7M fonts/ttfonts 1.0M fonts.orig/Type1 1.0M fonts/Type1 63k fonts.orig/util 63k fonts/util 2.3M fonts.orig 12M fonts I see that most of the directories on my build are not as big and I'm completely missing the ttfonts directory.

I lied. One time I saw KillAllClients get called. Since then I have seen the following happen when I close my favorite application that causes the server to exit in a hurry (about 75% of the time): 1) I get a series of client requests processed in Dispatch. 2) Every single one of those client requests fails (return != Success). 3) Sometimes the server ends up exiting after the series of failures. 4) The failure code from the function call: result = (* client->requestVector[MAJOROP])(client); is 3 which is defined as BadWindow in X.h with the comment that the parameter is not a window. This error makes sense, as it happens when you close a client window. It is possible that the error is in my code; specifically, the error could be in the way that I initialize fb and shadow fb. Or, the error could be caused by shadow fb or fb. I really have no idea. Actually... I'll just follow the (* client->requestVector[MAJOROP])(client) call and see where it is going.

You'll be interested to know that the exit comes from the Dispatch function in dix/dispatch.c, after a call to WaitForSomething in os/WaitFor.c, and Dispatch calls KillAllClients in dix/dispatch.c right before the server exits. What's that mean? Well, it means that my code is not at fault :) What else does it mean? Don't expect a fix anytime soon :( Suhaib will probably have to look into this one.

I downloaded everything and got to the point where I could run the startxwin.bat script (which is broken in the first place) but all I ever got was a blank X background screen and X cursor. startxwin.bat seems to be broken because 1) /B is not an option for "start" 2) There doesn't seem to be a "vtwm" I tried running xdm, but got a message saying only root wants to run it. I tried alt-tabbing back to the bash shell after I had double-clicked startxwin.bat but found I could not alt-tab to anywhere. I tried running xinit supplied with xterm and then again with twm but got nowhere. I tried setting up a .xinitrc that would have started xterm and twm but that wouldn't work. I tried setting up my own startup script based on startxwin.bat but for bash instead. I thought this had the best chance for success but I was wrong. The cross-hatched X display background always displayed nicely, but everything else hung. I found I was able to kill it by alt tabbing and then hitting control-alt-delete. When I saw the shell again it seemed that whatever I did the xterm and/or twm tried to start before the X display server was completely started up. I kept seeing a "Connection refused (error 111)". It is funny because the installation guide says "download the stuff and run, it works!" in so many words. I can't get any applications to start. I've checked the list mail archives, but that wasn't very helpful. Any light anyone could shed on this problem will be much appreciated.

Can anyone be more precise about how I should "adjust the resolution"? I tried several resolutions, all with the same effect. The ones I tried were: -screen 0 800x600x16 -screen 0 640x480x8 Any others I should try? Also, any recommendation on what in the xfree86-4-devel archive should help? I did install it, but again no change. I also noticed that I think the PATH setting in startxwin.bat is wrong. It adds "\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin" to the path. Now, I'm not sure how path entries default the drive letter, but in any case, since I installed cygwin under d:\cygwin, "\usr\X11R6\bin" doesn't exist anywhere! I fixed up the PATH to include an explicit path (e.g. D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin") but that STILL didn't help... Does the current resolution settings on my desktop affect this (e.g. control panel->Display->Settings)? I have it currently set to True Color, 1280x1024, 85Hz, small fonts. I'm also not completely convinced that I really have DirectX 3.0a on this box. Is there any way I can check? The Microsoft web site is miserable at providing info about this. The DirectX page says that "the only version supported on Windows NT 4.0 is DirectX 3.0a. You must also install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6.", and then points you to the SP 6a page. I read somewhere that DirectX 3.0a is included in SP 6 (and 6a?) but I can find no mention of DirectX in any service pack READMEs after SP 3. Am I confused? Very... I'm very close to just going ahead and upgrading this machine to Windows 2000, if that would guarantee that I could get cygwin/xfree86 to run... Any further help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Denis Haskin p.s. Before anyone suggests it again, yes, I have made sure I have the latest video driver for the video card, which is a Diamond MM Fire GL 1.

The code which comes with Xfree86 has some different export symbols. libz.dll reports at least one missing symbol if the one from cygwin/contrib is used. I have not compared xpm code from xfree86 with Chuck code, but Xpm is now standard library for Xfree86 4.x. Some users at opendx mailing list reported weierd pixels if xpm from contrib directory was linked. Xpm is part of Xfree86 4.0 and it will be going through modifications and enhancements by Xfree86 team. I, personally, see no reasons to distribute Xpm separately any more. How many applications use Xpm compiled with MSVC without X? I am hardly aware of any, except, perhaps Buba rxvt? Suhaib > > I've Cc'ed Chuck with this email.

Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3DEF@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> I uploaded Cygwin/Xfree86 4.0.3 sources and binaries to Cygwin/Xfree86 FTP server. The xfree86-4.0.3-XWin.tar.bz2 also contains Harold Hunt's Shadowfb based X-server. The new startxwin.bat should querry your OS, if you are on NT/2000 it will use xwin.exe otherwise it will use Harold latest (Beta, test case) X-server. Beware Harold executable is a test case, not stable yet. The current release is X11R6.5.11 based. The users who need previous release for X11R6.4 development, should find binaries and sources under 4.0.2 subdirectories.

Win9x/Me will give bad creation > and not supported at all With me, it seems just so close, though. I get the familiar cross-hatched background and X cross-cursor. But when looking at the startxwin.bat script and playing with it, it just seems to me that the script is not "syncronized". The X server starts fine. But, I never get an xterm to come up because they it see the :0.0 display. The "start" command seems to place the argument in its own process in the background , so I tried putting "sleep 5" commands between the start command for xWin and for the xterm and rxvt clients, thinking this might give the xserver a chance to start up and "be there" for the X clients. Well, as you might guess ... no such luck. BTW, I searched the cygwin xfree86 mail archives for "test7" and "test 7" and found nothing that would indicate to me what Harold (or was it Howard) did to make it work under Win98.

On a Compaq Presario with 2MB video memory it runs fine, but I have 128 MB of SDRAM. I think it is your 64 MB RAM depending upon which Windows version. If you are using ME/2000 then you are way below the limit. ME/2000 will chew 64 MB alone and will still be hungry to chew as much as you can give it. If you are on NT 4.0 or 2000, and have enough disk space, try creating a big page file, but it might not help in this case.

I'm sorry if you are offended by a request to read the mail archives, but on this *bleeding edge* list, we get a fair number of repeat questions.

You have a problem. DirectX is reporting an invalid parameter on the call made to it by Xfree86. Noone has reported this problem before, or a (best case) patch or (worst case) FAQ entry would have been created. > I've tried about everything I can think of but nothing helps.

Let's see, mind probe on, ah yes I can tell what you tried. /Sarcasm. Please provide the steps you took to troubleshoot this, along with the output of dxdiag's "save all information" dump, which may give one of the programmers (I don't hack on Xfree86 myself) some insight into your problem. Also include any details you can think of that may be relevant. I'm not sure if you have read the FAQ, and I'll assume you have from here on in. Windows is not a very reliable platform to build a user interface on. The device drivers are inconsistent, the error codes usually confusing, and there is no way to peek under the covers and check when that is the case. If you are assuming we have even the faintest idea what is happening within your machine, don't - we only know what we are told by you, and any guesses we make are likely to be wrong (thanks Microsoft!). > And belive me mr Siddiqi, I have searched this archive about ten times for a > solution, but I haven't found any answers anywhere. So please, think one > more time before you send such a childish reply to the list!!! Mr Siddiqi is _the creator of the cygwin port of Xfree86_. You may think he was rude, but I am confident you that if you provide appropriate debug information (other than the terse reports provided to date) you are going to see at least some attempt to assist you. Anyway... I'm not the list maintainer, but I think the issue of rudeness vs politness will lead into a flame war so lets drop that angle and focus on : your mouse is broken with respect to Xfree86, you have tried a number of unspecified things with no joy, and would like a hand...

It does work on Windows XP ( code name Whistler) Beta-1, Personal edition and Professional edition. But I will not advertise it because Whistler is still in Beta-1 and no one knows what features they decide to roll back in final release.

For the PC NT 4.0, sp6a, CL5430, I tried 3 different drivers downloaded from the internet. 2 of them complained it is for old version NT. One is for NT 4.0, but not successful. I don't know how to uninstall them. Probably just delete some entries in registry somewhere. Now every time I reboot NT, it will show me an error message something like file [load=load=load=load=....] can't be found. The length of "load" is twice bigger of the times I installed the drivers. Some drivers I found on the net. If some one is interested in some driver, I can attatch for him/her.

Could you change it to be "cygwin-xfree: a list for discussion of all things related to Xfree86 on Cygwin. . If you have questions about how to use configure, install, build, or develop with XFree86 on Cygwin, this is the list for you. HTML mail is NOT PERMITTED on this list and will be stripped.

Thanks for your reply. I did an archive search and found some references to the fixed font problem. As a result, I was able to use my xfree86 build again by taking xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 and installing it in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory. What I don't understand is why I don't have all the correct fonts from the cvs archive of xfree86? Does that mean that my build did not complete correctly or that the cvs archive doesn't have all the fonts needed? When I compare the fonts from my build with the ones from xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2, I see the following: WORKING NOT WORKING ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ du -h fonts $ du -h fonts.orig 702k fonts/100dpi 139k fonts.orig/100dpi 624k fonts/75dpi 138k fonts.orig/75dpi 1.0k fonts/CID 1.0k fonts.orig/CID 217k fonts/cyrillic 53k fonts.orig/cyrillic 219k fonts/encodings/large 118k fonts.orig/encodings/large 277k fonts/encodings 167k fonts.orig/encodings 508k fonts/latin2/100dpi 115k fonts.orig/latin2/100dpi 460k fonts/latin2/75dpi 118k fonts.orig/latin2/75dpi 970k fonts/latin2 233k fonts.orig/latin2 512 fonts/local 512 fonts.orig/local 3.1M fonts/misc 248k fonts.orig/misc 18k fonts/PEX 14k fonts.orig/PEX 269k fonts/Speedo 269k fonts.orig/Speedo 4.7M fonts/ttfonts 1.0M fonts.orig/Type1 1.0M fonts/Type1 63k fonts.orig/util 63k fonts/util 2.3M fonts.orig 12M fonts I see that most of the directories on my build are not as big and I'm completely missing the ttfonts directory.

However when I log on, the kde2 window manager seems to be starting, but it never finishes the startup procedure. I use SuSE 7.0, and the latest KDE2environment (version 2.01). Is using xfree on cygwin in this way supported? If so, how can I make this work? By the way, to allow remote access to my W2000 xserver using 'xhost +' and than start applications manually from my Linux server using the W2000 machine as the display.

I had been reading your discussions at xfree86-devel list. Since I do not know much about GDI therefore I prefered to stay quiet ;-) However, as you noticed that we why implemented frambuffer while we knew the Windows9x will have problems. That time it was the easy way out for us, that is to have something up and runing. I look forward to your contributions.

Beucase it did not compile? go to xc/lib/GLU and type make there if it returns errors... then go to each subdirectory under xc/lib/GLU and type make in each subdriectory and go back to xc/lib/GLU and type make again, this might compile it. Somehow it does fails sometimes and that is annoying, I have not find a fix why it compiled once and failed other times. But that si what I do when it fails. then go back to xc/programs and type make that should compile clinets which needs libGLU.dll.

Message-ID: <339CBB7F9C10D411BB6B00508BCF8D7234D93F@vsegn337.it.volvo.se> Hi All, This continues my previous mails about Laptop problems. Just managed to get my X-Server to start on my Dell Laptop using the Test 7 release I found under the Development page. I have identified the problem to be mouse related (what a surprise). It seems as my hardware translates the mouse input (when docked) to some kind of TouchPad information and WinNT thinks I'm using the pad and not a mouse. Since my computer is administrated by my company's IT support department I don't have any administration permissions and thus haven't been able to neither check nor upgrade my DirectX drivers. I guess this problem fits in among a dozen others I have noticed the last couple of weeks. However, Now when I have it up and running, I must say I'm very impressed! Great job guys!! Now I will just sit down and pray, and hope my boss will decide to upgrade our computer recources.

There is 70MB of code there, but on 7MB of files are produced, not even the XServer is built. I have modified the site.def to use the cygwin-site.def. Something is just a miss here. Basically put, I end up with the exact same result as I would if I downloaded teh X11R6.4 source from ftp.x.org. Is there other "toys" required that are not listed.

Message-ID: <019c01c0a35b$21bf23e0$1aaf603e@default> At first glance, this question may appear silly. But after reading Harold's comments on the devel page... "Test 7 is the result of my efforts to learn how the framebuffer based Cygwin/XFree86 worked, and to see if I could make the framebuffer based Cygwin/XFree86 work on Windows 95/98/Me. Ultimately, I failed. :-) I can say with confidence that you cannot create a safe, framebuffer based X server on Windows 95/98/Me; you could write a pseudo-video driver that exposed the video memory to the X server, but that would be very risky and difficult to support." AFAIR, I think this statement has obviously destroyed all hopes that there ever could be a *really usable* release for Win9x/Me. I hope I'm wrong, though ;) Andreas From rmcgowan@veritas.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: rmcgowan@veritas.com (Bob McGowan) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: help with link error: undefined reference to XGetHostname References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3C62@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: <3A8D885E.39EE3F2E@veritas.com> Thanks.

Changes: 1) A great developer (John Fortin) once told me that the DDLOCK_NOSYSLOCK flag for IDirectDrawSurface_Lock was not introduced until DirectDraw4, which is not available for Windows NT 4.0. Including that flag causes the surface lock to fail on NT 4.0. I removed the flag from all calls to IDirectDrawSurface_Lock. Please report to the list if you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you can run this test but you could not run previous tests.

There are two possible errors: first, the xdm on the linux machine does not allow connects from your windows box. - check /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess or (usr/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xaccess) if you windows box is allowed to connect second, the XServer does not allow connects from remote machines. - try starting the Xserver with the switch "-ac". This will switch off access control.

Elwin, are you able to run ping 127.0.0.1 before you try to run X ? If so then I believe that you may have something in the path that conflicts.

Can anyone be more precise about how I should "adjust the resolution"? I tried several resolutions, all with the same effect. The ones I tried were: -screen 0 800x600x16 -screen 0 640x480x8 Any others I should try? Also, any recommendation on what in the xfree86-4-devel archive should help? I did install it, but again no change. I also noticed that I think the PATH setting in startxwin.bat is wrong. It adds "\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin" to the path. Now, I'm not sure how path entries default the drive letter, but in any case, since I installed cygwin under d:\cygwin, "\usr\X11R6\bin" doesn't exist anywhere! I fixed up the PATH to include an explicit path (e.g. D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin") but that STILL didn't help... Does the current resolution settings on my desktop affect this (e.g. control panel->Display->Settings)? I have it currently set to True Color, 1280x1024, 85Hz, small fonts. I'm also not completely convinced that I really have DirectX 3.0a on this box. Is there any way I can check? The Microsoft web site is miserable at providing info about this. The DirectX page says that "the only version supported on Windows NT 4.0 is DirectX 3.0a. You must also install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6.", and then points you to the SP 6a page. I read somewhere that DirectX 3.0a is included in SP 6 (and 6a?) but I can find no mention of DirectX in any service pack READMEs after SP 3. Am I confused? Very... I'm very close to just going ahead and upgrading this machine to Windows 2000, if that would guarantee that I could get cygwin/xfree86 to run... Any further help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Denis Haskin p.s. Before anyone suggests it again, yes, I have made sure I have the latest video driver for the video card, which is a Diamond MM Fire GL 1.

Thanks for any feedback :^) > I don't think so. I think the color problem is caused by difference how the color is transmited in the XProtocol and how it's stored in the videocard ram. I expect that the needed change in the code weren't to big. Since the only XProtocol functions using absolute color values (red,green,blue) are AllocColor, AllocColorPlanes, StoreColors, QueryColors and LookupColor. I think that only these functions need to get altered to map the 16bit values for red, green and blue to the 32bit pixel value. ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 10 References: <3AC0A9BC.2030502@delcomsys.com> Message-ID: <000301c0b6fe$6be78fa0$2fab0a23@huntharo> Even before using xkeycaps, you might want to know one thing: Esc works as Meta (Alt).

I have a FireGL 1 video card. I've gone to the Diamond Multimedia web site and gotten the most current NT driver. Still no change in behavior. The web site also had Linux/xfree86 drivers but I can't really use those, since they're all Linux executables. Or is there something I should do with those? I've gone through the list archives and nothing else seems obvious. There was some discussion of xf86config, but several messages indicate that cygwin/xfree86 doesn't need that config file (I assume that DirectX is hiding all the gory details?). I ran xf86config, put the resulting XF86Config file into /etc/X11, and still the behavior is the same. Hmm. Any more suggetions?

I haven't tested a whole lot, but at first glance it works well. I have found one problem, though.. the alt key doesn't seem to work -- at least for my twm mappings. For example, I have Meta-Button 1 mapped to "f.move". This works using the old server, but not using the sfb server. I wanted to point out something I thought was interesting (I don't think its a problem). When running in windowed mode, and the focus is out of the Xserver (in some other Windows program), the X cursor still follows the mouse cursor. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Robert Jacobson teridon@erols.com BS, Aeronautical Engineering Univ. of Md., College Park Flight Ops.

I think I'll be able to use this instead of going out to buy Hummingbird's Excrete^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Exceed. I've already read the threads in the archive about the colors being screwy, so I understand that its being worked on. Sorry, I've got very meager programming skills, so I can't help. :( I have two questions. 1) The colors seem to be okay in 8-bit color. Can someone tell me why colors work okay in 8-bit, but not in "deeper" screens? 2) Colored text in xterms (i.e. colored text in the bash prompt) is not working for me. It works fine in the bash cygwin terms, but just appears black in the xterms. Did I do something wrong?

Read that carefully. Emacs displays the correct background color and it displays some text colors overtop of the background color correctly, but for some text colors Emacs makes background color surrounding each character white, instead of the background color. I really need to get this fixed, as I use Emacs for my computer science projects and I want to be able to use the latest test builds for my projects, partly to test the server, and partly because it will be convenient for me to do so. So, does anybody have any ideas as to why this happens? Is it something wrong with the fonts in Cygwin/XFree86? Is it something wrong with the colormap that we use for X? I have displayed Emacs running on three different machines, including two Mandrake Linux machines, and the Sun Solaris server run by our computer science department. All of these machines display Emacs correct locally, and they all display remote Emacs sessions correctly. However, Cygwin/XFree86 munges the Emacs display from all three machines. Any help, pointers, or research into this would be greatly appreciated.

This file was uploaded at 8:30 PM EST and will not avilable at Mirrors sites, yet. If sources.redhat.com is busy you need to keep trying until you get in or wait till it is available at mirrors sites. It fixes _XGetHostname issues. This symbol is now exported and is in libX11.dll. This also fixes several other export symbols which are rarely needed, but were missing from libX11.a, those symbols are now exported and are in libX11.dll. I will submit the patch to Xfree86.org, which might take upto a couple of weeks to show up in CVS repository at XFree86 Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Suhaib Siddiqi To: 'Bob McGowan' Cc: 'cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com' Sent: 2/16/2001 6:13 PM Subject: RE: help with link error: undefined reference to XGetHostname Thanks. Expect a replacement libX11.dll and the corresponding libX11.a import library, in "xc-4-binaries" at ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree later tonite. I figured out what is going on. I should have renamed the xfree86-4.0-xxx.tar.bz2 to xfree-4.0.2-xxx.tar.bz2. The updated binaries which were uploaded on Dec 13th, 2000 are actually XFree86 4.0.2. The next release will be XFree86 4.0.3 which will be based upon X11R6.5.1.

Message-ID: <002a01c097c2$fea74ac0$0100a8c0@mshome.net> Hi. I'm new to the cygnus release of Xfree86, and am having problems compiling it from source. If I try to compile the sources available from the ftp site (4.0.1), Most of it doesn't compile, leaving me with a non-working Xfree86. I searched the list and found out that this is related to problems in one of the .dll files needed by other apps, and had been fixed in later versions, so I went ahead and downloaded the 4.0.2 source (via CVS). It barfs with the following errors (yes, this is the entire world.log.): ========================snip========================= Building Release 6.5 of the X Window System.

Check back in about two or three months and you might see something that does work on Windows 98. If you are really desperate you can check the mail archives for a link to my "Test 7" release. Test 7 is a development release that supports Windows 98, but it is way less than optimal and it has some problems with strange keyboards. Some people use Test 7 on a daily basis, but your mileage may vary.

I figured you guys might be interested. I removed the 70 kB of attached diffs to avoid being on the receiving end of a flame fest :) Harold -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt [ mailto:huntharo@msu.edu ] Sent: Saturday, March 31, 2001 3:45 PM To: 'patches@xfree86.org' Subject: Cygwin/XFree86 New Server Architecture (Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000 compatible) These patches completely replace the Cygwin/XFree86 server stored under xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/. The Cygwin/XFree86 project has been testing these patches for the last week and the resulting server is quite stable and runs on nearly all tester's machines (if not all). Suhaib Siddiqi approves of these patches and acknowledges that they completely replace the existing hw/xwin code; however, he will be out of town until tomorrow, and thus unreachable by email until then. Why the old server had to be replaced: The old server was based on the cfb code and required that the video card framebuffer be exposed at all times; the video card framebuffer can only be exposed across Win32 API calls on Windows NT/2000, exposing the video card framebuffer across Win32 API calls freezes Windows 95/98/Me. Windows 95/98/Me takes the Win16Mutex when exposing the video card framebuffer on those platforms; those Windows platforms have code that, for compatibility reasons, requires the Win16Mutex before processing; thus, holding the framebuffer pointer while calling another Win32 API function causes a deadlock that freezes Windows 95/98/Me completely. Changes -------------------------------------------------------------------- On the output front: The new server is based on the fb code and uses the shadow fb code to remove the need to obtain a pointer to the video card framebuffer. Three methods are used by the new server to update the damaged regions of the screen: the GDI blitter, the DirectDraw blitter, and the DirectDraw4 blitter. The fastest supported blitter is determined at screen initialization time and the appropriate function pointers are stored in screen privates. On the color front: The old server had whacky colors that were entirely off, but it did run in 8 bpp mode. The new server cannot yet display correct colors in 8bpp mode, but it has beautifully correct colors in 16, 24, and 32 bpp modes. :) On the input front: The new server uses standard Win32 API messages for processing keyboard and mouse input. The old server used DirectInput, which was not initializing correctly for a lot of testers. DirectDraw sends the scancode of the key instead of the key symbol, while the Win32 API keyboard messages virtualize the key codes; thus the Win32 API method works the same for every keyboard, while DirectInput is keyboard dependent. On the server structure front: The new server now has dynamically allocated screen privates and a strong aversion towards global variables :) On the coding convention front: All files, except ddraw.h and obj_base.h, follow the GNU C coding standard. Comments are sprinkled liberally throughout the code. On the compilation front: The new server compiles completely from the XFree86 tree using gcc; the Visual C++ compiled xf_dx.dll is no longer used. On the dependencies front: The new server can be run on machines that do not have DirectDraw/DirectX installed at all. The server will detect on startup that DirectDraw is not installed, or is installed but not operable, and will fall back on using the GDI blitter. Ironically, the GDI blitter has nearly identical performance to the DirectDraw4 blitter. On the extensions front: The new server now supports the Xrender extension, as fb supports Xrender. On the command line options front: 1) '-engine n' suggests which blitter the server should use; however, the server ignores this parameter if the suggested blitter is not installed, is not operable, or is not supported on a particular platform. 2) '-fullscreen' tells the server to run the server in fullscreen mode. When running with a DirectDraw blitter this causes the current video mode to be changed; when running with the GDI blitter this causes the display window to be the size of the screen and on top of all other windows (in a manner similar to how IE runs in fullscreen). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully we made the 4.1.0 deadline, Harold Hunt From teridon@erols.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: teridon@erols.com (Robert Jacobson) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 3 References: <339CBB7F9C10D411BB6B00508BCF8D7234D95D@vsegn337.it.volvo.se> Message-ID: I get the same errors as Mr. Lundh.

I'm on WinNT 4 SP6a FR Cyg 1.1.8 XF 4.0.3 French keyboard (105 keys) Almost keys are functional, except : F12 (kills the XWin, may be normal) PrintScreen (replies 63, like KP_multiply) Pause (replies 77, like NumLock) <> (replies nothing, it's between left shift and w) AltGr (replies 64 like Alt) RightShift (replies 37, like left shift) KP_devide (replies 61, like *) KP_enter (replie 36, like Return) and all the special keys (Insert, Del, arrows ...) reply the same code that KP_Insert, KP_del ..., so you can't have the KP for numbers and these keys for movement. And because AltGr doesn't replies correctly, you can't get access to the third caracter given with xmodmap (which are, on French keyboard : ~#{[|`\^@]} ), a bit anoying for programming, E-mail and so on, no ?

As a B20 user, you might not know that the new setup.exe is a kinda smart download manager for cygwin. You don't have to download everything by hand, just start setup.exe (GUI!) and select what you want and what not. andreas From troy@dublan.net Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: troy@dublan.net (Troy Bowman) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Keycodes References: Message-ID: I agree. I don't use an international keyboard, I use one of those famed "Happy Hacking" keyboards from pfuca.com. I have it running in "windows" mode and have the right meta(windows) key mapped to "mode switch", so that I can make X map characters that I need to be able two easily write in spanish, i.e., ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and so on in my xmodmaprc. My question is, is it possible to steal one of the the windows keys (in my case, the right windows key) away from windows while the X server is focused to be able to use it for a different function? ...troy.

The XShm errors I don't know anything about. I suggest you follow the xfree86.cygwin.com's faq's references area and see what they are meant to do. You may be able to add them quite trivially to the Xwin server/client libraries - using the cygipc routines to do all the work.

The problem is the libXinerama.a library link order. I thought I fixed it in the tar balls I uploaded day before yesterday to Cygwin/XFree86 server. I am not sure why but someone decided to put -lXinerama as the last library to link which is DEFINITELY going to create undefined references symbols during link time. If you check the following from your log file, you will notice -lXinerama is the last library in link order therefore it undefined symbols in it cannot be resolved by libX11.a and libXext.a. It is a wrong link order problem. I will have look at the code again, as I said I thought I fixed it but by mistake I may have packed the orginal Imakefile, not the patched one. You can either fix the link order in Imakefiles or manually edit the Makefiles and change: -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lXdmcp -lXinerama -L/usr/X11R6/lib To -lXinerama -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lXdmcp -L/usr/X11R6/lib rm -f chooser.exe gcc -o chooser.exe -O2 -pedantic -fno-strength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return -fvtable-thunks -m486 -Wall -L../../exports/lib chooser.o -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lXdmcp -lXinerama -L/usr/X11R6/lib ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x20):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XextCreateExtension' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x3f):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XextFindDisplay' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x64):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XextAddDisplay' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x84):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XextRemoveDisplay' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0xfe):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XMissingExtension' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x11c):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `_XFlush' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x157):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `_XReply' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x1ea):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XMissingExtension' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x208):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `_XFlush' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x241):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `_XReply' ../../exports/lib/libXinerama.a(Xinerama.o.b)(.text+0x2b6):Xinerama.c: undefined reference to `XMissingExtension' Suhaib > -----Original Message----- > From: daniele.disco@virgilio.it [ mailto:daniele.disco@virgilio.it ] > Sent: Friday, March 23, 2001 6:19 AM > To: Kevin Wright > Cc: cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com > Subject: RE: RE: Errors compiling Xfree from CVS > > > First of all thanks for your suggestion. > > 1)You are right but when at the end of the compilation I > don't have the xterm.exe I'm > worried. > > 2)from the log file of cygwin installation I verified that > the gcc version is > (from the log file) > Installing latest/gcc/gcc-2.95.2-6.tar.gz > > 3) It's ok > > 4) I obtained the same errors. > > Daniele > > > > > > Daniele, > > > > I'm willing to help you off list.

It is the linker that complains over missing XShm functions, not the compiler, therefore it is not the include-file that is missing, but a library or so.

You need to remount everything as binary...You can do this either by re-running setup and choosing binary as textfile type, or you can re-mount the stuff by hand. Here's how you re-mount everything by hand: $ mount -b c:\\cygwin / $ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib $ mount -b c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin $ umount --remove-system-mounts $ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin / $ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\lib /usr/lib $ mount -b -s c:\\cygwin\\bin /usr/bin $ umount --remove-user-mounts You will probably get warnings during this process. These can be safely ignored. Once you've got everything re-mounted as binary, you need to compile and install XFree86. To do that, do the following: jimmie@JIMMIE ~/xc $ make World $ make install Note that I did NOT use 'make World.Win32'. That commandline is for MSVC++, not cygwin.

Losing focus: - All pressed keys generate a KeyRelease Message Getting Focus - All pressed keys generate a KeyPress Message or keeping track of changes between lose focus and get focus and generate the KeyRelease/KeyPress only if something has changed. eg. Pressing the 'a' and 'b' key and switching tasks, releasing 'a', switching back to XWin and release 'b' would generate the following event: a) KeyPress 'a' KeyPress 'b' Lose Focus KeyRelease 'a' KeyRelease 'b' ... Get Focus KeyPress 'b' ... KeyRelease 'b' b) KeyPress 'a' KeyPress 'b' Lose Focus ... GetFocus KeyRelease 'a' ... KeyRelease 'b' The most important is, that we a) has as much KeyReleases as KeyPresses and b) don't have X thinking a key is still pressed but it's not. Is it necesary to keep track of the windows num-, caps- and scroll lock or is it better to keep it's own state (as for instance VMWare does) and setting the states temporary and restoring the windows state on losing focus?

All but the Alt-Gr key work well. Using xev, I realised that the state returned include Control, so I actually got Ctrl-[ and not [, for example. I think, it is not enough to suppress the fake Control_L press, the status has to be cleaned up as well.

At the same time they highly recommend you read the README, and INSTALL files, which suggests that you should change all the SVGA, MGA, TNT and so on video cards to NO except those for your SYSTEM. For Cygwin/Xfree86 we do not use any hardware driver from xfree86 therefore all of those should be changed to NO and should not be compiled. The xfree86 code base is for multiple OS and one cannot possibely provide preconfigured *.cf files for every possible configuration. We provide OS based *.cf files which imake use by querrying your OS. The other configuration files for compilation (e.g site.def, host.def and xfree86.cf etc) needs to be adjusted by you per your choice, that is the way xfree86.org distributes sources tree and I follow their guide lines.

Cygwin uses a shared memory area, with a name that is common across all versions of the dll with the same major and minor version numbers (In fact, probably across all versions with the same major version number). The contents of this shared memory area change with each dll release however, so if you run PGP freeware, even though it is not in the path, it will cause problems with other installs of cygwin1.dll unless they are exactly the same build. Thus the FAQ, user guide and email list requests to remove all other copies. It's equivalent to having multiple shared glibc's on a linux box. Sure it _might_ work... but for how long?

When AltGr is pressed, 2 WM_KEYDOWN messages are sent to XWin. The first for Control_L, the second for Alt_R. Everytime the Control_L Message comes in, i test if Control_L is down. On Win9x/ME, the GetKeyState will not acceot the virtual keycodes for the left or right control (VK_LCONTROL, VK_RCONTROL) and returns alway 0. The difference between the left and right control key works only on NT/2k. Why can't MS create an API which behaves equal on NT and 9x? Control won't work on Win98, since the keypress is always discarded. Please send me the WM_*KEYDOWN Messages from test-3, since i can't test on WinNT. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From darko.palic@gmx.de Mon Apr 2 09:30:00 2001 From: darko.palic@gmx.de (Palic, Darko) Date: Mon, 02 Apr 2001 09:30:00 -0000 Subject: AW: AW: [ANNOUNCE] XWin Keyboard test 4 References: Message-ID: <000001c0bb92$36076ed0$0a01a8c0@earth> Hello Alexander, I?m using Win2k SP1.

Today I went to MSDN site to downlaod Win95 copy for testing something, inestead I cound a note The Win95 crap is gone forever due to court setellment with Sun Microsoystem Well, replace , Windown 95 crap with M$ ads, the world greatest OS Windows 95 is not available for download and redistribution any more because of court settlemnt with Sun Microosystem. I took a good deep breath and thanked Sun for at least getting rid of one big crap.

Thank you! I have found an interesting difference when using xterm. For example the key "cursor left" produces the triple ESC [ D in xterm regardless of the mode (normal, shift, control, alt). When using an xterm in a Linux X server or under a VNC server, the xterm bahaves the same, except when pressing the Alt key. In that case it produces the byte sequence ESC ESC [ D which allows convenient key bindings in a shell. Why does it not behave that way in XWin?

Control_L and Alt_R simultaniously are OK, for example Control_L and Alt_R and q -> Control @ (xev shows state as 0x24, as opposed to 0x20, when CTRL is not pressed!) Ctrl + AltGr + ] -> Escape-Character in linux-telnet is working. I have a small problem: I can't see umlaute (????,????,????,...) on a local xterm, a xterm on an remote linux or VMS shows them.

I'm quite new to cygwin/xfree86, but it seems to me that I did something wrong, or missed something in the xfree86 installation process. I downloaded the 4.0.3 binaries, and installed them in d:\cygwin. I mounted d:\cygwin to /, so that xfree86 is in /usr/X11R6. I then tried to start xfree86 with the startwin.bat script (and then manually, using XWin95 -screen 0 1024x768x16), and I always get the same error message Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' The fonts are installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and if I remove them the x server complains about not being able to add the font paths, so I guess that I put the fonts in the proper location. I installed all the binary packages (DLL, Win, devel, fonts, programs, twm, xterm, ...). Could anyone help me with that ? If I try to specify another default font with -fn I get the same problem, and of course I checked to be sure that the 'fixed' font is in the fonts/misc directory. I wanted to change a few settings in the XF86Config file, but couldn't figure where to put it (/etc/X11 seemed to have no effect). Hope to hear from you soon.

Because of conflicting GPL ad X licenses, it took me months to pursue XF86 board members to at least integrate Cygwin related patches in XF86. We are allowed to distribute binaries and sources separate of Cygwin, but officially integrating XF86 in Cygwin will start arguments with XF86 board members and may result in throwing away Cygwin support. Therefore, answer is no. Cygwin/XFree86 will always exists an open source separate project. Binaries will be covered under GPL because they link to Cygwin1.dll, but XF86 sources will be under X Consortium license, which means if you could get it compile without Cygwin1.dll linking then your binaries will not be under GPL... which is fair enough.

That's a somewhat weird decision of the X Consortium. Putting the package into the Cygwin distro doesn't change the licensing terms of the sources. Jus as example, the OpenSSH sources aren't suddenly GPL'd only due to the fact that they are in the same directory as the OpenSSH Cygwin binaries. They will of course remain BSD licensed.

Does this soemhow interfere with the following behaviour? If I press and release Alt_L without pressing another key, the next Control_L key isn't recognized. For example Ctrl-C is treated as just lower case 'c'. After releasing the next Control_L works again as expected.

They will of course remain BSD licensed. Yeah. I really don't see how anyone could object to the fact that we would allow a person to run "setup.exe" to download the X sources rather than grab them from our web site. We aren't going to include X in the Cygwin distribution until it setup.exe has matured a little but it has always been one of my goals to include this in a cygwin distribution. I wasn't aware that there were any issues with this. We certainly wouldn't change the licensing terms so I don't see how there could be issues with this. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Tue Apr 3 17:20:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2001 17:20:00 -0000 Subject: More notes on client exit causing 100% cpu usage Message-ID: <000601c0bc9c$9a2dd970$2fab0a23@huntharo> When I type 'exit' in an xterm window I have about a 15% chance that xterm will enter and infinite loop and take all available cpu resources. At this time the xterm window is still displayed in Cygwin/XFree86, but it is not being drawn correctly; X still responds fine, albeit a bit sluggishly, as xterm is eating the available cpu cycles. When xterm exits and closes normally I get a series of client requests that fail, though xterm does end up closing eventually. When xterm uses 100% of the cpu time I get no messages; however, when I "destroy" the window, I get slightly different series of operations that cause errors. Below is information about the operations that fail. 1) Normal xterm 'exit' - this series of failures is seen infrequently. Major Opcode Result of op client->errorValue ------------ ------------ ------------------ 40 3 2,097,166 3 3 4,194,362 14 9 4,194,362 3 3 4,194,361 14 9 4,194,361 2) Normal xterm 'exit' - this series of failures is seen most of the time. Major Opcode Result of op client->errorValue ------------ ------------ ------------------ 40 3 2,097,166 42 3 2,097,166 3 3 4,194,380 14 9 4,194,380 3) No failed requests are generated when an xterm 'exit' causes xterm to enter an infinite loop. 4) When I 'destroy' an xterm window that has entered an infinite loop, I get the following failed operations: Major Opcode Result of op client->errorValue ------------ ------------ ------------------ 40 3 2,097,166 3 3 4,194,391 14 9 4,194,391 3 3 4,194,391 14 9 4,194,391 3 3 4,194,394 14 9 4,194,394 3 3 4,194,390 14 9 4,194,390 3 3 4,194,390 14 9 4,194,390 3 3 4,194,390 14 9 4,194,390 At this point the xterm window disappears and the Xserver resumes normal operations; cpu usages returns to normal, and the xterm process is terminated.

They will of course remain BSD licensed. Yeah. I really don't see how anyone could object to the fact that we would allow a person to run "setup.exe" to download the X sources rather than grab them from our web site. We aren't going to include X in the Cygwin distribution until it setup.exe has matured a little but it has always been one of my goals to include this in a cygwin distribution. I wasn't aware that there were any issues with this. We certainly wouldn't change the licensing terms so I don't see how there could be issues with this. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Tue Apr 3 18:05:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Tue, 03 Apr 2001 18:05:00 -0000 Subject: suggestion References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C23C34FA@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: <20010403210614.A2397@redhat.com> On Tue, Apr 03, 2001 at 08:57:54PM -0400, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > Let the keyboard and harold Winx support stabilize then we will revisit >it.

When we have the ability to select based on category, maybe then... By then, I assume that things will be even better than they are now. I also wouldn't do this without asking first since I know that making this available will present an immediate support burden here.

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 4/3/2001 8:17 PM Subject: More notes on client exit causing 100% cpu usage When I type 'exit' in an xterm window I have about a 15% chance that xterm will enter and infinite loop and take all available cpu resources. At this time the xterm window is still displayed in Cygwin/XFree86, but it is not being drawn correctly; X still responds fine, albeit a bit sluggishly, as xterm is eating the available cpu cycles. When xterm exits and closes normally I get a series of client requests that fail, though xterm does end up closing eventually. When xterm uses 100% of the cpu time I get no messages; however, when I "destroy" the window, I get slightly different series of operations that cause errors. Below is information about the operations that fail. 1) Normal xterm 'exit' - this series of failures is seen infrequently. Major Opcode Result of op client->errorValue ------------ ------------ ------------------ 40 3 2,097,166 3 3 4,194,362 14 9 4,194,362 3 3 4,194,361 14 9 4,194,361 2) Normal xterm 'exit' - this series of failures is seen most of the time.

Typing 'exit' into an xterm doesn't cause this everytime... it appears to be a race condition so your mileage will vary depending on how fast your machine and its various subsystems are. Sometimes I get lucky and the first xterm will crash when I exit it, but usually I have to open and close about ten xterms before I can get one to crash on exit.

Ummm that is a bummer to troubleshoot. At work I am on Pentium 1.5 GHz with 512 MB RDRAM, Win2K, SP1 and at home I am on PIII 1 GHz with 512 MB RDRAM. Win2K SP1 I never notice it, whenever i type exit, the xterm. mxterm and rxvt windows closed immediately. One of these day I will try to find why it does on some others machine.

When we have the ability to select based on category, maybe then... By then, I assume that things will be even better than they are now. I also wouldn't do this without asking first since I know that making this available will present an immediate support burden here.

Cygwin uses a shared memory area, with a name that is common across all versions of the dll with the same major and minor version numbers (In fact, probably across all versions with the same major version number). The contents of this shared memory area change with each dll release however, so if you run PGP freeware, even though it is not in the path, it will cause problems with other installs of cygwin1.dll unless they are exactly the same build. Thus the FAQ, user guide and email list requests to remove all other copies. It's equivalent to having multiple shared glibc's on a linux box. Sure it _might_ work... but for how long?

I.E. the ABI of B20.1 is a strict subset of the current ABI. The API has changed somewhat, so newer compiles won't necessarily be able to work with older cygwin1.dll's.

I don't have Spy++ but I have `cygcheck' from the Cygwin distro. It gives keyboard specific inofrmation by calling `cygcheck -k'. That should help you. I'm somewhat surprised about the above layout of the output. There's only a "fAltDown" but as you might know, the keyboard set's different bits in the status flags for left and right Alt. That's the output of your above example, using `cygcheck -k' and a german keyboard: ("Pressed" means KEYDOWN, "Released" means KEYUP) Pressing LeftCtrl: ================== Pressed 1x VK: 0x11 VS: 0x1d A: 0x00 CTRL: -- -- -- LC NL -- -- -- -- ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^ ^ virtual virtual ascii ^^ Shift | keycode scancode char ^^ Scrolllock | ^^ Right Control repeat ^^ Right Alt count ^^ Numlock ^^ Left Control ^^ Left Alt ^^ Enhanced key Capslock Pressing RightAlt: ================== Pressed 1x VK: 0x12 VS: 0x38 A: 0x00 CTRL: -- EK -- LC NL RA -- -- -- Releasing LeftCtrl: =================== Released 1x VK: 0x11 VS: 0x1d A: 0x00 CTRL: -- -- -- -- NL RA -- -- -- Pressed 1x VK: 0x12 VS: 0x38 A: 0x00 CTRL: -- EK -- LC NL RA -- -- -- (yes, two messages, indeed) Releasing RightAlt: =================== Released 1x VK: 0x12 VS: 0x38 A: 0x00 CTRL: -- EK -- -- NL -- -- -- -- > > Harold -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Developer mailto:cygwin@cygwin.com Red Hat, Inc.

Ah, ok. I missed that somehow. You're right, my first sequence was the above one since you asked for that. The below is only press and release of AltGr.

Those characters aren't going to be the same as the window message that Windows sends for keyboard input. I threw together a simple program, which is very ugly, that simply dumps the keyboard messages to a file called "keys.log" in the current directory. Please run this program, enter the following keysequences, and send me your "keys.log" file.

Samba is misconfigured. The symlinks are stored as files with the system flag switched on. Samba can't map the flag to the unix filesystem. Try the options "map archive", "map hidden" and "map system" for samba. This will store these flags in the execute bits for owner, group and others. Or as i just did with the complete cygwin installation, search on linux for all files containing the regexp "^!\(.*\)" and create a linux symlink: find /home/ago/cygwin -type f -exec grep -q '^!' {} \; | \ while read file; do link=$(cat "$file"|sed 's/^!\(.*\)/\1/) mv "$file" "$file.old" ln -sf "$link" $file done I don't know what happens if the filename contains spaces, but if there are none, everything works fine. -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3752 349 80 80 From alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Fri Apr 6 08:46:00 2001 From: alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Fri, 06 Apr 2001 08:46:00 -0000 Subject: XWin crashes on losing focus Message-ID: Hi, I just noticed that XWin crashes if it suddenly loses focus.

I don't believe Imake has been patched to support textmode/binmode... Thus the requirement in the xfree86 FAQ for binmode mounts.

Alexander Gottwald pointed out that I was mistaken in my assumption that virtual key codes would make Cygwin/XFree86 more compatible with foreign keyboards. Quite the contrary of my assumptions, ASCII scan codes are desired because they allow non-U.S. keyboard users to use existing modmaps. I believe that all keys, excepting AltGr, should return the correct scan code. AltGr returns the correct scan code, I believe, but it still has a problem with the ghost Control_L press/release. 2) Failed blits no longer result in a call to FatalError. Failed blits are essentially ignored. However, Ctrl-Alt-Del handling is a little strange, because you have to press and release the Alt key when the server regains focus after pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del; failing to do so will cause your mouse clicks and key presses to be ignored. 3) xc/programs/Xserver/Imakefile has been cleaned up and the circular dependency warning has been fixed. 4) Keyboard related functions have been moved from InitInput.c and winwndproc.c to a new file called winkeybd.c. 5) Mouse related funtions have been moved from InitInput.c to a new file called winmouse.c. 6) winUpdateFBPointer has been moved from winwndproc.c to winmisc.c. 6) winkeymap.h has been removed. XFree86's standard key map header and AT key names header are used in its place; those headers are xf86Keymap.h and atKeynames.h, both located in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/. 7) Several definitions in win.h that mirrored defintions in xf86Keymap.h and atKeynames.h have been removed. 8) Removed lots of #if 0'd code. 9) Got the winScreenInit/winFinishScreenInit division of labor working. 10) Removed some debugging messages, placed them within if (failed)... blocks. 11) Engine 8 (Primary framebuffer DirectDraw) has gone undocumented. It is still there, but it is no longer reported in the usage message. From here on I won't be supporting engine 8, nor will I be expecting/handling bug reports for it.

The two things that I think worth looking at are: symlinks Imake. As you had already address'd symlinks, I thought it worthwhile to bring up the Imake potential issue - in case you had been building with Imake we could narrow the issues down to just symlinks.

Run 'netstat -a' before and after you run XWin.exe. XWin.exe should listen on ports 6000+n where n are the active screen numbers. So, if you are only running with screen 0, then XWin.exe should open port 6000. Something is amiss if after a reboot and prior to running Cygwin/XFree86, you see that port 6000 is already being listened on. I noticed that somebody said they had Exceed, and to think that maybe Exceed is running a program that is trying to listen on port 6000 at all times. Of course, there could be some other unrelated program that is listening on port 6000. In any case, I'd be interested to see if XWin.exe is ever able to open port 6000 on the machines that are denying client connections.

That will cause Cygwin/XFree86 to startup using the GDI blitter instead of the DirectDraw4 blitter, which appears to be the root of your problem.

When XWin is started netstat reports that the only local address listening on port 6000 is at ip address 0.0.0.0:6000 However at this point I telnet to 127.0.0.1 6000 and I get a connection. I leave this connection open and try xterm in both a 'dos' window and a cygwin shell.. Still no connect. But looking at netstat I see one connection to a server on port 6000 is established. So I close Xwin, my telnet connection drops and netstat reports that nothing is listing on port 6000 but there are 2 or 3 Local addresses ports in TIME_WAIT, but now rather than being on 0.0.0.0 they are on 127.0.0.1... Could this have anything to do with a DHCP connection? Kevin ===== --------------------------------- Kevin DeKorte kdekorte@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

However, select is a "blocking function"; that is, when select is called it blocks, taking no clock cycles, until one of the events being waited for has occurred. So, select, if it was working correctly, would take no clock cycles when it doesn't return. This leads me to believe that select may not be working correctly. Chris, any ideas? I believe Pierre is using that latest cygwin1.dll snapshot. Could you confirm that to the list Pierre?

I believe Pierre is using that latest cygwin1.dll >snapshot. Could you confirm that to the list Pierre? It is pretty hard to believe that select isn't working correctly but I guess anything is possible. Some (most) select operations in cygwin actually need to resort to polling so they do consume CPU. The easiest way to find out what is happening is to attach a gdb to the running process. Also, I have to point out that I don't read every message in this mailing list. If you want to be sure to get my attention, change the subject line to something like "cgf input needed". cgf From cgf@redhat.com Sat Apr 7 18:15:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2001 18:15:00 -0000 Subject: Remove any files from anon ftp directory?

You need to investigate the stack frame, of course, with the "bt" command. You need to see what threads are active with the 'info threads' command. Then switch to the threads and do stack traces there to see what's going on. If you are debugging cygwin, you'll need to have an unstripped version of the DLL built with gcc -g. Hopefully this makes some sense. I don't think I want to give a course in basic debugging. If this doesn't make sense then I assume that there must be some information on the web somewhere on how to use gdb in addition to the gdb info files. cgf From Pierre.Humblet@ieee.org Sat Apr 7 19:37:00 2001 From: Pierre.Humblet@ieee.org (Pierre A.

You do need to get the sources and compile them with -g and with optimizer -O turned off. Edit the makefile to disable all strip commands. Then you can locate the select() function in gdb. Sometimes sources are not easy to get. Chris, is there a turf issue?

Of course, I'm not working on any closed commercial products at the time, so that's not going to be a problem.

Remember this is a Red Hat sponsored activity. What is Red Hat famous for? Open Source. The sources for every single Cygwin utility are available in the same directory as the binary. I wouldn't have it any other way, if for no other reason, than it is the law in most cases. The only time I've ever seen the 'n/a' next to a utility is when I'm installing from a local directory where the sources don't exist. Regardless, if someone is building cygwin from source they should be using CVS or a very recent snapshot. CVS preferred. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Sun Apr 8 16:43:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 16:43:00 -0000 Subject: (GPL/X11 issues) RE: Debug of Test 15 (cgf input needed) References: <000801c0c084$daaada20$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <20010408194400.D19783@redhat.com> On Sun, Apr 08, 2001 at 07:37:19PM -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: >I have previously seen on this list the question of what license the >Cygwin/XFree86 binaries and sources are under; I've decided to throw in my >two cents on the matter, just for the record.

My point was that the whole license issue doesn't really matter, as we're doing mostly the correct thing, and no one is getting upset about it anyway; thus, if someone tells me that we aren't doing the right thing, I'm likely to ignore them, or call their bluff :) Harold From cgf@redhat.com Sun Apr 8 16:50:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 16:50:00 -0000 Subject: Debug of Test 15 (cgf input needed) References: Message-ID: <20010408195050.E19783@redhat.com> On Mon, Apr 09, 2001 at 09:07:38AM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Suhaib Siddiqi [ mailto:ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com ] >> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 8:46 AM >> Cc: 'cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com ' >> Subject: RE: Debug of Test 15 (cgf input needed) >> >>XFree sources are not GPL'ed but are available from Cygwin/XFree86 FTP >>server.

Yes the DXTEST enables Xtest extension. I do not think should cause crash. Screensave flag is useless for Cygwin, because we do not use Xxcreensaver.

All sessions below were run using xdmcp to connect to KDE 2.1.1 running on my Linux-Mandrake box; unless stated otherwise. When I say "XWin crashes", I mean that XWin exits immediately: there are no calls to FatalError, no STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, no stack dump, no error message displayed of any sort; in sort the running XWin process ceases to exist. When I say "XWin freezes", I mean that XWin remains running, but it doesn not process input events, nor does it update its display window. Here are a couple things you should know before reading the test cases: 1) WaitFor.c passes Select a list of file descriptors that it is waiting for to become readable; Select is not passed a list of file descriptors to watch for writability, nor is Select passed a list of file descriptors to watch for exceptions. 2) WaitFor.c passes Select a default timeout value of 10 milliseconds (E-3) when running on Cygwin; all other platforms that XFree86 runs on use a computation to figure out what timeout value to send Select. 3) Passing Select a timeout of 0 seconds and 0 microseconds (yes, E-6) causes Select to return immediately; this is known as polling. 4) Passing Select a NULL pointer to a timeval structure as the timeout causes Select to wait until one of the file descriptors becomes signaled. Test cases 1) Closing my favorite testing window, KDE Control Panel-> LookNFeel->Legacy Theme Importer, causes XWin.exe to crash immediately, almost 100% of the time, when using an unmodified WaitFor.c. An unmodified WaitFor.c passes a 10 millisecond timeout value to Select; this timeout is static for Cygwin, ie. it is not computed. 2) Removing all #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections from WaitFor.c causes XWin to use a normal amount of CPU time, 1-2%, when idling; if input events, like mouse clicks and key strokes, are entered too quickly, ie. normal typing speed, then some of the events will get lost. My favorite window caused XWin to crash after closing it 4 times. 3) Following step 2, then initializing the timeval structure to 0's before the call to Select on line 168 causes XWin.exe to consume 100% of available CPU time when idling; XWin runs normally for all other purposes. My test window caused a crash after 43 closes on my first test, on my second and third tests I lost count after 80 and gave up on trying to get XWin to crash. 4) Following step 2, then passing Select a NULL for the pointer to a time out timeval structure causes xdmcp sessions to consume a normal amount of CPU time when idling; however, input events get lost if they are entered too quickly, as in 2; closing my test window caused a crash on the first close twice in a row, and it caused a crash on the second close on the third test. Running XWin with local xterm and vtwm clients causes XWin to freeze immediately after initializing vtwm and displaying the xterm window. I'm not even going to speculate as to what is going on. I just wanted to get this information out so that other people could look at it and comment and/or use it as a base for their own bug hunting.

I'm not sure who else is going to be doing debugging but I just want to make it clear that I'm not going to be debugging the X server. This is the first I've heard of any race conditions in select (which was written very carefully to be race-free ). Maybe running the X server with strace might be useful. This is not an invitation to post huge strace logs here or send them to me in private email. However, if you notice something that looks odd, then send them to cygwin-xfree, by all means. It would be interesting to know what kind of handles are specifically being sent to select? Are these Windows handles for grabbing Windows events like mouse clicks and focus changes? If so, then I guess it is possible that events are being lost. That particular select code hasn't been updated in years. cgf From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 8 18:08:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 18:08:00 -0000 Subject: Questionalbe command line defines for Cygwin/XFree86 Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: Suhaib Siddiqi [ mailto:ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com ] > Sent: Monday, April 09, 2001 10:41 AM > To: Robert Collins; 'Harold Hunt '; 'Cygx (E-mail) ' > Subject: RE: Questionalbe command line defines for Cygwin/XFree86 > > > ThreadSafeX API needs a complete pthread library.

It's a wrapper around native win32 threads. It's not 100% complete, but I don't have the time to simply write everything, nor the time to fix problems porting code _other than_ the thread using code. So The deal I've offered on the cygwin lists (including this one) is that you tell me what functions you need that are missing (check a current snapshot or better yet cygwin CVS) and I'll write them. There aren't many missing now. There's no library needed when linked in pthread code, it's part of libcygwin1.a. What I'm suggesting is you try and build with thread support, report back what happened, and I'll fix that. When that's fixed you try again, and I fix again. When it's all working, the code will (hopefully :]) get committed to cygwin1.dll and be available as a snapshot release. When the next official release gets rolled, you can release an updated XFree86 using ThreadSafeX.

This is > the first I've heard of any race conditions in select (which > was written > very carefully to be race-free course>). I sincerely doubt that the problem is in Cygwin's select. I suspect that the race is due more the hack job on the timeout... I mean, it doesn't seem correct that XFree86 on Cygwin uses a static timeout of 10 milliseconds, when all other platforms use the same calculation to determine how long select should wait. XFree86 has been around for awhile and I'm sure we'd see other hack jobs on the timeout value if it was the correct thing to do. I believe that the file descriptors being passed to select are network sockets only. User input/all windows messages, are handled in a seperate function that does not use select, nor are the windows messages ever added to select's list of file descriptors.

Everything works fine for roughly one minute. After that, it seems that the Xserver is freezing. In fact, my guess is that the server is still alive but it doesn't accept/receive any message comming from the mouse/keyboard. What makes me thinking about that is that the x cursor disapear when the server is "freezing". I don't know exactly from where the problem is comming. I scanned the list archives and I didn't find anything relevant to my problem. Is this a well know problem ? Does anybody already encountered this situation ? By the way, I tried XWin95 comming from Cygwin as well as the new shadow server from Harold Hunt. Both react the same way. I also tried to change the resolution/color depth but this doesn't improve things. Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to ask for further information about my configuration if it may help to solve the problem.

WaitForSomething passes a list of file descriptors to Select () that it would like to wait for and it typically passes a timeout value of 2 minutes. A normal unix-style operating system, like darwin, will have a file descriptor that is used to read mouse and keyboard input; you use the os layer function called AddEnabledDevice to add your input descriptor to the list of descriptors to be waited for in WaitForSomething. As far as I know, Windows does not have file descriptors that become signaled when user input (via a Windows message queue, not via a console file descriptor) is waiting. Part of our problem, namely, the very slow input when removing the #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections from WaitForSomething, comes from not having a file descriptor that becomes signaled when user input is ready, thus we don't have a way to return from Select when we have user input. Currently our user input is read by our screen WakeupHandler, which gets called by WaitForSomething right *after* it returns from Select. We've got a catch-22 here :) I propose the following modifications which should allow us to remove the #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections from WaitForSomething: 1) In hw/xwin/InitInput.c's InitInput (), create a new thread (with the Win32 API, not pthreads) that processes the Windows message queue for all open X screens. 2) In hw/xwin/InitInput.c's InitInput (), open two localhost IP sockets used to signal when keyboard or mouse input is waiting. 3) In hw/xwin/winmouse.c's winMouseProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice (), passing the mouse signaling socket. 4) In hw/xwin/winkeybd.c's winKeybdProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice (), passing the keyboard signaling socket. 5) In hw/xwin/winwakeup.c's winWakeupHandler (), remove all code; we no longer need to process our Windows message queue here. 6) In hw/xwin/winblock.c's winBlockHandler (), remove all code; we no longer need to process our Windows message queue here. 7) In os/WaitFor.c's WaitForSomething (), remove all #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections. After the above modifications we should have an input thread that is independent of the server thread and we will use a socket to signal when user input is ready, thus WaitForSomething's Select call will return in a timely fashion when user input is waiting to be processed. Off the top of my head I can only think of two synchronization issues: 1) hw/xwin/InitInput.c's ProcessInputEvents () and hw/xwin/winwndproc.c's winWindowProc () must use a mutex so that the window procedure doesn't try to add input events while ProcessInputEvents is trying to remove them. 2) hw/xwin/winwndproc.c's winWindowProc () and winshad*.c's winShadowUpdate* (), where * is DD, DDNL, or GDI, must use a mutex so that both procedures do not try to blit the shadow buffer to the screen at the same time. Of course, DirectDraw may be reentrant, so this may not be a problem; however, it would be cleaner and clearer to future contributers if we added our own mutex. I'm not saying that this will fix the freeze on startup that some users experience, nor am I implying that it will fix the crash on closing certain clients; however, I will imply that these modifications will allow us to clean up os/WaitFor.c to make it independent of __CYGWIN__.

Just to be difficult: why not pthreads? mutex's, condition variables, thread specific data, limited scheduling (soon to be much more) are all present in snapshots at the moment. And they are thin wrappers around win32. The advantage for you guys is you can probably leverage any existing pthread written code. AND stay fork safe. Please, do not use win32 threads in a cygwin1.dll linked application unless you are willing to guarantee that you'll be single threaded when you fork, or at least have your app understand that a fork is going to occur and that it has to restart it's threads. Pthreads has a lovely function pthread_at_fork that I'm hoping to implement soon which allows that syncronisation. And I'll reiterate: This should be in cygwin1.dll. Don't fix the symptom, fix the problem. Andif it's in cygwin1.dll you can use win32 or unix threads to your hearts content (cygwin's internals already understand syncronising after a fork. > 2) In hw/xwin/InitInput.c's InitInput (), open two localhost IP sockets used > to signal when keyboard or mouse input is waiting. > 3) In hw/xwin/winmouse.c's winMouseProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice > (), passing the mouse signaling socket. > 4) In hw/xwin/winkeybd.c's winKeybdProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice > (), passing the keyboard signaling socket.

As I said before that code was added for my xwin.exe which frooz always at startup on windows NT too. If your modifications to xwin works better with original WaitFor.c, sure why not remove them. Because you did major modifcations to Xwin source code therefore your suggestions to mouse and keyboard sounds ok to me. You need to change and test? Lately I had been too busy with projects at work and did not get time to really dig into X sources and help you. I do appreciate your contributions. Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 4/9/2001 11:27 AM Subject: Possibly incorrect explanation of how WaitForSomething works (and how to fix it) [RC and CGF please comment] WaitForSomething, in xc/programs/Xserver/os/WaitFor.c, is supposed to wait for client requests, user input, ddx notifications, or something else of interest that requires the X/Server to actually do something. WaitForSomething passes a list of file descriptors to Select () that it would like to wait for and it typically passes a timeout value of 2 minutes. A normal unix-style operating system, like darwin, will have a file descriptor that is used to read mouse and keyboard input; you use the os layer function called AddEnabledDevice to add your input descriptor to the list of descriptors to be waited for in WaitForSomething. As far as I know, Windows does not have file descriptors that become signaled when user input (via a Windows message queue, not via a console file descriptor) is waiting. Part of our problem, namely, the very slow input when removing the #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections from WaitForSomething, comes from not having a file descriptor that becomes signaled when user input is ready, thus we don't have a way to return from Select when we have user input. Currently our user input is read by our screen WakeupHandler, which gets called by WaitForSomething right *after* it returns from Select. We've got a catch-22 here :) I propose the following modifications which should allow us to remove the #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections from WaitForSomething: 1) In hw/xwin/InitInput.c's InitInput (), create a new thread (with the Win32 API, not pthreads) that processes the Windows message queue for all open X screens. 2) In hw/xwin/InitInput.c's InitInput (), open two localhost IP sockets used to signal when keyboard or mouse input is waiting. 3) In hw/xwin/winmouse.c's winMouseProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice (), passing the mouse signaling socket. 4) In hw/xwin/winkeybd.c's winKeybdProc (), add a call to AddEnabledDevice (), passing the keyboard signaling socket. 5) In hw/xwin/winwakeup.c's winWakeupHandler (), remove all code; we no longer need to process our Windows message queue here. 6) In hw/xwin/winblock.c's winBlockHandler (), remove all code; we no longer need to process our Windows message queue here. 7) In os/WaitFor.c's WaitForSomething (), remove all #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections. After the above modifications we should have an input thread that is independent of the server thread and we will use a socket to signal when user input is ready, thus WaitForSomething's Select call will return in a timely fashion when user input is waiting to be processed. Off the top of my head I can only think of two synchronization issues: 1) hw/xwin/InitInput.c's ProcessInputEvents () and hw/xwin/winwndproc.c's winWindowProc () must use a mutex so that the window procedure doesn't try to add input events while ProcessInputEvents is trying to remove them. 2) hw/xwin/winwndproc.c's winWindowProc () and winshad*.c's winShadowUpdate* (), where * is DD, DDNL, or GDI, must use a mutex so that both procedures do not try to blit the shadow buffer to the screen at the same time. Of course, DirectDraw may be reentrant, so this may not be a problem; however, it would be cleaner and clearer to future contributers if we added our own mutex. I'm not saying that this will fix the freeze on startup that some users experience, nor am I implying that it will fix the crash on closing certain clients; however, I will imply that these modifications will allow us to clean up os/WaitFor.c to make it independent of __CYGWIN__.

In contrast, our normal executables support nearly all extensions and both TCP and UNIX domain connections are allowed. Note that the second test, because it doesn't support TCP, cannot support XDMCP; in fact, xdmcp doesn't compile without TCP, so the second test doesn't have xdmcp at all. I've tested both of these on my Windows 2000 machine and they work for me. Please report your results, whether good or bad, to the list. Realize that these test executables are not desirable for long term use, as they lack even basic X extensions.

Hmm... I didn't think of that because my idea is to make the X/Server independent of Cygwin, so that it can be installed easily and without worrying about duplicate copies of cygwin1.dll, etc. However, I want to keep the XLibs dependent upon Cygwin so that local clients will require minimal porting, if any. Thus, my development efforts have centered around using only Win32 API calls. I haven't written a function yet that make a Cygwin API call. It would be possible, and perhaps beneficial to some, to write an X/Server for Windows that is completely intertwined and dependent on Cygwin... but that's not an itch I have, so I won't be scratching it :) In any case, everything you suggested was stuff I hadn't thought of, and some of your suggestions were things that I hadn't even known existed (/dev/keyboard, etc.); knowing about these things will probably come in handy in the future should I do some *nix system-level programming or if I give up on my idea of making the X/Server independent of Cygwin :) Thanks for the feedback, Harold From cgf@redhat.com Tue Apr 10 13:08:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 13:08:00 -0000 Subject: Possibly incorrect explanation of how WaitForSomething works (and how to fix it) [RC and CGF please comment] References: <000801c0c109$980e3bf0$2fab0a23@huntharo> <020b01c0c141$cbb44d40$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20010410160848.D19805@redhat.com> On Tue, Apr 10, 2001 at 08:09:48AM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: >I thought cygwin had fd support for keyboard and mouse?

I'm not about to discourage a developer... but I will throw in my opinions :] 1) There is a different project that has an independent X server - the win32-x11 project - it's hosted at sources.redhat as well. 2) duplicate cygwin1.dll's are no worse to manage than duplicate or overwritten msvcrt.dll's. Really!. 3) AFAIK the X server already uses a bunch of cygwin stuff - ripping it out is going to be iffy at best. 4) AFAIK You will not be able use unix domain sockets for client connections, or shared memory across local clients if you do not link with cygwin1.dll. Other things like unix permissions and so on come to mind > Thus, my development efforts have centered around using only Win32 API > calls. I haven't written a function yet that make a Cygwin API call. There's only about 20 Cygwin calls. I'm not surprised you haven't made one. Oh! you mean posix calls? That's a different matter. Add to the list above, mounted directories in the X server path/font path/shared library path, symlinks in the path. oh, fstat, read, write, open, close are all coming from cygwin1.dll at the moment. And they will all break when you build without linking to cygwin1.dll. Try running a strace over Xwin.exe > It would be possible, and perhaps beneficial to some, to write an X/Server > for Windows that is completely intertwined and dependent on Cygwin... but > that's not an itch I have, so I won't be scratching it :) Uh yeah, that's what Suhaib did. And that's what you're working on isn't it?! > In any case, everything you suggested was stuff I hadn't thought of, and > some of your suggestions were things that I hadn't even known existed > (/dev/keyboard, etc.); knowing about these things will probably come in > handy in the future should I do some *nix system-level programming or if I > give up on my idea of making the X/Server independent of Cygwin :) IMO, depending on Cygwin is a good thing. It eases development and porting headaches, whilst allowing access as needed to the Win32 API. If the only reason for not utilising Cygwin1.dll is difficulties with version skew, then I say, don't worry. ==== That's trivial compared to the confusion that will arise in shipping an X-Server than cannot utilise Cygwin paths/mount points/symlinks but ships with X-Libs that can. We had about 2 weeks preview into that while the win32-x11 files were in the Xfree86 directory, and I believe it can only get worse. ==== Second key point: cygwin's installer is nearly ready to install X for the end user - its got alpa support for bzip2 files thanks to Chris. You won't get much easier than installing via setup.exe. > Thanks for the feedback, > > Harold > Always happy to discuss :] Rob From cgf@redhat.com Tue Apr 10 16:19:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 16:19:00 -0000 Subject: Possibly incorrect explanation of how WaitForSomething works (and how to fix it) [RC and CGF please comment] References: <020b01c0c141$cbb44d40$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> <000701c0c1f2$2ed2d7b0$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <20010410192002.D21456@redhat.com> On Tue, Apr 10, 2001 at 03:12:26PM -0400, Harold Hunt wrote: >> I thought cygwin had fd support for keyboard and mouse?

You will be lossing proxy extension. MSVCRT cannot handle it therefore most of the commercial X servers are not LBX enabled. You will taking on a big project to rewrite LBX from scratch for xfree32 which MingW32 and/or MSVCRT can handle. If you just want an Xserver independent of cygwin, use win32-x11. It is as good as xfree86. I spent months of time to get it to the stage where it is now. It has almost all the extensions, even SGI GLX. Your favorite RENDER is not functional yet, but it should matter because render even on Linux does not really work for all the graphics cards -- read xf86-devel thread at XF86 ORG.

I'm not about to discourage a developer... but I will throw in my opinions :] 1) There is a different project that has an independent X server - the win32-x11 project - it's hosted at sources.redhat as well. 2) duplicate cygwin1.dll's are no worse to manage than duplicate or overwritten msvcrt.dll's. Really!. 3) AFAIK the X server already uses a bunch of cygwin stuff - ripping it out is going to be iffy at best. 4) AFAIK You will not be able use unix domain sockets for client connections, or shared memory across local clients if you do not link with cygwin1.dll. Other things like unix permissions and so on come to mind > Thus, my development efforts have centered around using only Win32 API > calls. I haven't written a function yet that make a Cygwin API call. There's only about 20 Cygwin calls. I'm not surprised you haven't made one. Oh! you mean posix calls? That's a different matter. Add to the list above, mounted directories in the X server path/font path/shared library path, symlinks in the path. oh, fstat, read, write, open, close are all coming from cygwin1.dll at the moment. And they will all break when you build without linking to cygwin1.dll. Try running a strace over Xwin.exe > It would be possible, and perhaps beneficial to some, to write an X/Server > for Windows that is completely intertwined and dependent on Cygwin... but > that's not an itch I have, so I won't be scratching it :) Uh yeah, that's what Suhaib did.

It eases development and porting headaches, whilst allowing access as needed to the Win32 API. If the only reason for not utilising Cygwin1.dll is difficulties with version skew, then I say, don't worry. ==== That's trivial compared to the confusion that will arise in shipping an X-Server than cannot utilise Cygwin paths/mount points/symlinks but ships with X-Libs that can. We had about 2 weeks preview into that while the win32-x11 files were in the Xfree86 directory, and I believe it can only get worse. ==== Second key point: cygwin's installer is nearly ready to install X for the end user - its got alpa support for bzip2 files thanks to Chris. You won't get much easier than installing via setup.exe. > Thanks for the feedback, > > Harold > Always happy to discuss :] Rob From fortinj@attglobal.net Tue Apr 10 17:52:00 2001 From: fortinj@attglobal.net (John Fortin) Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 17:52:00 -0000 Subject: Compile Problems with Harold's Server...

A few moments ago I uploaded the latest version fo win32-x11 server which now has all the 16 extensions, including GLX and SGI-GLX, and multi-buffering. It was a pain to build those with MSVC. But iit is done. in comming weeks. SGI (not M$) GLX dependent OpenGL and GLu libraries as DLLs should be comming. Because I had been lazy right now and want to go and sleep, I am going to CC this mail to win32-x11 list members, as an announcemet for the new Xserver binaries. Suhaib BTW you cannot simply build X without Cygwin and have libraries with Cygwin support. X needs Xau and Xdmcp, and few others from /xc/lib to resolve tons of symbols. That means you will need all the libs in xc//lib without Cygwin support... that will be chnaging the nature of the project and running Win32-X11 with another name as Cygwin/XFree.

I was saying that the current Cygwin support is only for console devices: if (!ReadConsoleInput (h, &input_rec, 1, &nread)) { __seterrno (); syscall_printf ("ReadConsoleInput failed, %E"); return -1; /* seems to be failure */ } This would not be appropriate for a non-console application like the X server. If someone wants to add generic keyboard and mouse support for a Windows app, then that would be appropriate. cgf From Pierre.Humblet@ieee.org Tue Apr 10 19:17:00 2001 From: Pierre.Humblet@ieee.org (Pierre A.

The connections are not generated by the XServer code proper, but inside the select() subroutine, which is called every 10 ms. This seems to be the case even when the descriptors set in the mask are only network connections and not regular files. Chris, is the generation of connections part of the design? It isn't mentioned in select's section in the cygwin users' guide. On the other hand I hope to be able to use /dev/windows to only wake up when necessary (input present), thus reducing the call frequency. What Windows API is used to decide that input is present? [I know, I should look up the code, but not tonite].

That appears to be part of poll(), not select(). Check out msdn.microsoft.com for doco on PeekMessage. (ie < http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/psdk/winui/m essques_8085.htm> The select() call uses WaitForMultipleObjects, which is the correct method for getting woken up when input arrives. Someone needs to debug (perhaps with an event queue watcher) what is happening with the X server. strace is a wonderful tool - I recommend using it as well :]. I haven't read the code for the X Server, but as the X server creates it's own window, keyboard and mouse messages for it will arrive in a different message queue than the cygwin select() call looks at. What needs to happen (as Harold as already noted) is that these messages need to be processed rather than waiting for the cygwin select() to return, which is only prompted by network traffic. There are two basic ways to do this: async - spawn a new thread, that waits on the window queue and prepares to handle and process the events sync - inform cygwin of the new message queue in some fashion, and have select() wait on it as well. Harold has already thought out most of the issues with the async fashion. I suspect that syncronisation will be harder than expected, but then I'm a pessimist. For the sync way, I dont' know of any standard way to tell cygwin that a new message queue exists and should be treated as a keyboard/moure input queue. Chris: a question for you Is there some unix similar way that we could do that? I.E. a /dev/keyboard and /dev/mouse that take a window identifier of some sort in the open call. Or let it get set via fcntrl? That would allow the X server to stay 100% unix coded - sitting on a single event loop. It would also allow the X server to recieve Cygwin style signals properly, which I suspect it may not if they enter via the wrong message queue...

Thanks for shedding some light. Additionally, I noted that tar was somewhat buggy during installation of Xfree-devel package. It could not install some files. I don't think it has anything to do with what you folks are discussing -- IPC and signals I think. Some folks with a problem like to hear some hints rather than be forgotten :) EW From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Wed Apr 11 00:27:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 00:27:00 -0000 Subject: Chris: message queues and new windows (was select() details) References: <3.0.5.32.20010411003208.007ff100@pop.ne.mediaone.net> Message-ID: <006101c0c258$db9c7b70$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pierre A.

I don't know the answer to this question. As for using the feature in the XServer code, that is what I was suggesting: but the Select() routine rather than poll(). ( we don't want a busy wait). Select, which uses WaitForMultipleObjects will wake up on message queue events. If we can get the cygwin select() routine to add the Xserver window message queue to the objects to wait on, we will have solved the over half of the problem.

My changs to XFree86 were accepted by XF86 ORG because it will support Cygwin/GCC. only hw/xwin code was pur WIN32 stuff, and in Harold case it is too. Removing Cygwin support from various libraries under xc/program/Xserver will cause a lot of things to break and basically loss of several functionalities. Anyone, beside Harold, interested in non-Cygwin based X-server should have a look at http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 . I took X11R6.5.11 from X.org and heavily modified it to add several extensions and libraries.

Please do not suggest users to start changing OS ENV. It is OS=Windows_NT or Win NT 4.0/3.5/2000. If your network admin had been changing default OS ENV to some rubish like OS=Windows_2000 and OS=Win95 then he should fired at spot, because he does not know what the hell he is doing. Chnaging OS ENV can break a lot of MSDN and M$ Compilers, so please stop propagating it... and I do not want this list turn into a thread to help people refix their default ENV.

Compiling qt and kdesupport works fine, but on compiling kdelibs-2.1 I run into problems. It seems that some symboles are missing in the X11-ICE lib, which are normally have to be there. The missing symbols are: `_IceTransSetOption' `_IceTransConnect' `_IceTransClose' `_IceTransOpenCOTSClient' `_IceTransGetConnectionNumber' `_IceTransRead' `_IceTransWrite' Can anyone tell me, whats the reason for this is and what I can do ?

There is no reason for them to be missing except my mistake when writing ICE-def.cpp symboles export file, I over looked them.

Nope, first is the best. You do not need to modify whole 250 MB code of xc-tree it is ONLY Harold code in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin. Therefore that needs to fixed for namespace issues, as John reported. I do not think it is a good idea that folks at Cygwin start patching the headers for every software out there. > > Of course these changes should only be made when compiling for X (or > even just the XServer) and not for normal development. > > Maybe the inclusion of the affected windows headers can be > stopped by adding > some #define and #undef, but this is for the future when the > XServer is > running correctly and no other work has to be done.

We should not have to hack the win32 headers in the cygwin distribution. If changes are needed, they should be submited to Earnie. Earnie, do you have any difficulties with #ifdef'ing the win32 headers for xfree86, and potentially other program products?? It would be EXTREMELY nice if this compiled "Out-of-the-Box"...

I think Ernie should have a look at Harold patches and fix the problems in w32api headers. Putting a -DXFREE flag in w32api is still a bad idea. It needs to be fixed in w32api or hw/xwin, whatever is has problems.

Message-ID: <009d01c0c299$5d7e0a60$262acdc6@va.alcatel.com> I had a similar problem with XDMCP on Windows98 where the XDMCP message from XWin to the XDMCP server contained 0.0.0.0 as the (first) display address, or else contained no address at all. The XDMCP server would either reject the client message or would blindly use 0.0.0.0 as the display address. The reason for this is that the XFree86 XDMCP client code enumerates all the local IP addresses to put into the XDMCP message, and it turns out that the cygwin 1.1.8 code for this doesn't take unused network interfaces or DHCP-configured interfaces into account on Windows9x. If you provide "-from" on the Xwin command line, the server will still enumerate the local IP addresses, but will discard all the ones that don't match the "-from" parameter. This should work for you UNLESS you are using DHCP to configure your IP address. If you are using DHCP, a workaround might be to re-configure the interface with a static IP address that matches the one given by DHCP. The development version of cygwin looks to have fixed this problem.

Can you try adding -ac to the XWin command line instead of using xhost (temporarily..) You should also be able to set DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (or even just :0) on the PC rather than have all the local clients go out over the network and back..

I haven't tracked down exactly which line(s) caused the crash, as I removed them all at once and the problem went away. The gist of the correction is that the #ifdef __CYGWIN__'d sections of code were the same as the #ifdef WIN32'd sections of code; we don't use the WIN32 define, and Cygwin has all of the functions used by the non-WIN32 sections. Basically, we weren't using a coherent mix of APIs. (me) 2) Fixed, hopefully, the freeze on startup when running on Windows Me, as well as removing the 10 millisecond wakeup from WaitForSomething; the server now only wakes up when it has real events pending, or when the usual timeout of around 2 minutes has expired. (Pierre Humblet) Source tarballs for this release will take a little longer to produce, as I need to figure out exactly which lines to change in the os/ files, then I need to create diffs for those files.

There is no other way. The conflicting symbols are a mix of #defines and typdefs; we can handle the #defines by #undefing them after we've included the w32api headers; however, the only thing we can do for typedefs is to prevent them from being declared in the first place. In total there are about 8 changes to the w32api headers. Earnie Boyd has already committed the patches to Cygwin's CVS tree; these patches will be in the next Cygwin release.

I have no idea why it is so, either. So, you are again mentioning that you are seeing a "connection". A connection, to what? If you think that select is at fault, then look at the socket specific code in select.cc in the Cygwin DLL. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Wed Apr 11 13:21:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 13:21:00 -0000 Subject: Chris: message queues and new windows (was select() details) References: Message-ID: <20010411162145.W25082@redhat.com> On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 02:03:46PM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Pierre A.

Are you saying that X-Windows is not adding windows handle events to its select() call? It sounds like an obvious win to do this. Then, polling of the network connections wouldn't be necessary. I don't know why there would be any newly opened connections hanging around after select is called, though.

Why not, for now, just open /dev/windows and select for that? If the event is a keyboard or mouse event then handle them, otherwise go back to waiting. I'm not aware of any /dev/keyboard analog in Windows. There are obviously /dev/mouse type of devices, though. Usually, they are just a serial device or a specific PS mouse port, though. Implementing either of these, in a windows context, wouldn't be too hard, though. I would like to make sure that we got the implementation as close to Windows as possible, though. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Wed Apr 11 13:22:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 13:22:00 -0000 Subject: Chris: message queues and new windows (was select() details) References: <3.0.5.32.20010411003208.007ff100@pop.ne.mediaone.net> <006101c0c258$db9c7b70$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20010411162221.X25082@redhat.com> On Wed, Apr 11, 2001 at 05:27:24PM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: >Select, which uses WaitForMultipleObjects will wake up on message queue >events.

Who is actually using this "OS" environment variable? Cygwin certainly isn't using it. Is the X Server using it? If so, it is not a very reliable method for determining OS type.

If you think that there are bugs in Cygwin, let us know and we will try to fix them. The goal is to make Cygwin as UNIX-like as necessary so that that the X server has to make as few accomodations as possible. I have not seen a definitive explanation of a problem with UNIX domain sockets yet. Since unix domain sockets use almost exactly the same code as IP sockets, I don't exactly understand what the problem is. I've Cc'ed Corinna and Egor since I believe that both of them have done stuff to the networking code. Maybe one of them has an idea on why UNIX domain sockets are occasionally not working. cgf >Win32-X11 is fast too, but it slows down if you use twm and xterm from >cygwin/xfree >I do not know why?

Startxwin.bat uses OS="" which I caught by chance. Since then I have put an export OS="" in .bashrc. Bingo, Harold's XWin95 came up. How exciting! So I've been telling those with "Can't open display" problem to check their environment variable OS. Subsequently, I have been educated by the Cygwin XFree86 developers that the "Can't open display" symptom could result from a number of wrinkles - XDMP,Unix sockets, networking weirdness, and in my case the OS environment variable.

When you use xdmcp you are logging in to a remote machine that is going to control your display. Your remote machine is not a client, rather, it is a super-client... it owns the entire X screen. If you don't want to run all your apps from a remote machine, then don't use xdmcp. If you do want to run all your apps from a remote machine, then do use xdmcp.

For years now cygwin has had a subtley different gcc with the avowewd intention of sidetracking the gcc development team to allow proprietary compilers to advance ahead of gcc.

A) Remove the OS branching from startxwin.bat B) Remove XWin95.exe from the tarball C) Replace XWin.exe in the tarball with the XWin.exe from Test 17. 3) On Cygwin/XFree86's home page, remove all references to incompatibility with Windows 95/98/Me (Robert Collins, or me?) 4) Rename the shadow framebuffer test series to just the development series (me) 5) Cleanup the Cygwin/XFree86 development page to indicate the current status; remove references to previous test series. 6) Create an outline for a Contributor's Guide (me, mailing list members) 7) Modify the User's Guide to indicate that Cygwin/XFree86 operates on all versions of Windows. (me) 8) Collect suggestions for the User's Guide (me, mailing list members) In short, we need to release the Cygwin/XFree86 development series as the new stable series. I believe that the fixes made in Test 17 will be sufficient for an initial stable release. We're currently wasting time answering questions that could be avoided by completing the items in the list above.

I seem to be getting slowly pulled into the gcc gravitional field with my continued -mno-cygwin improvements. Just last week I think I got exception handling working in gcc 3.1. However, as much as I like the idea of an untypedef, I don't think I could really get this into the gcc sources. And, the gcc developers would probably shoot me if I added it just to the cygwin distribution. I can imagine the reports to gcc-bugs, now... cgf From cgf@redhat.com Wed Apr 11 16:49:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 16:49:00 -0000 Subject: Starting web site updates References: <000a01c0c2df$9325fdd0$2fab0a23@huntharo> <034b01c0c2e0$44aa05b0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20010411194915.B30344@redhat.com> On Thu, Apr 12, 2001 at 09:36:29AM +1000, Robert Collins wrote: >I do gave a suggestion though: > >Do the tarballs.

This connect() causes winsock_select() to return and the thread_socket to terminate. The connection is immediately shutdown() after the connect(). This logic seems to be an ingenious trick to force a return from winsock_select() [when select() wants to return for another reason] and to cleanup. Experience shows that the second socket doesn't disappear immediately and can be seen with netstat on all the platforms. On WinME some timeout must be longer, thousands of sockets accumulate, and eventually select() does not return (by the way, nice application of Little's law in queueing theory). I don't see any bug per se in the code. Using setsockopt() to set SO_LINGER with an interval of 0 (default is NO_LINGER, which does a graceful close) would force a hard close (!). Perhaps this will cause a fast release of the socket, which the method is relying on to work when select() is called repeatedly at short intervals. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winsock/wsapiref_714i.htm ******* Now the better news: As you wrote in Re: Chris: message queues and new windows (was select() details) >Are you saying that X-Windows is not adding windows handle events to its >select() call? It sounds like an obvious win to do this. this is indeed the obvious (but apparently little known) thing to do instead of polling every 10 ms. Thanks for implementing /dev/windows. Harold has put this in Test 17, and select() is thus called less often. With twm, 1 xterm and 1 xclock, the number of sockets visible with netstat -a does not exceed about 1100 on my WinME. This is low enough that everything works for now, although I expect eventual freezes and messages to this list. As I couldn't find much explanations of what /dev/windows does, I was asking you about it. This led to >If you have specific questions on an implementation detail, I'll try >to accomodate you but "What is this used for?" is just too broad a >question. I agree it was a broad question. I do have an implementation question: Why do you use PeekMessage( PM_NOREMOVE) in peek_windows, and not GetQueueStatus()? PeekMessage() has a side effect: nonqueued messages are sent directly to the destination procedure. As the application will normally do a PeekMessage( PM_REMOVE) when returning from select(), it gets the message twice.

A) Remove the OS branching from startxwin.bat B) Remove XWin95.exe from the tarball C) Replace XWin.exe in the tarball with the XWin.exe from Test 17. 3) On Cygwin/XFree86's home page, remove all references to incompatibility with Windows 95/98/Me (Robert Collins, or me?) 4) Rename the shadow framebuffer test series to just the development series (me) 5) Cleanup the Cygwin/XFree86 development page to indicate the current status; remove references to previous test series. 6) Create an outline for a Contributor's Guide (me, mailing list members) 7) Modify the User's Guide to indicate that Cygwin/XFree86 operates on all versions of Windows. (me) 8) Collect suggestions for the User's Guide (me, mailing list members) In short, we need to release the Cygwin/XFree86 development series as the new stable series. I believe that the fixes made in Test 17 will be sufficient for an initial stable release. We're currently wasting time answering questions that could be avoided by completing the items in the list above. Thanks for you interest in the project, and start submitting suggestions for the User's Guide and the Contributor's Guide, Harold From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Wed Apr 11 18:01:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:01:00 -0000 Subject: Short-term to-do list Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C23C356B@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Let Rob be Webmaster.

That's fine. I won't have an AltGr patch until then. The main thing holding up the AltGr patch is that we need a way to tell if the right hand Alt key is being used as a compose key...

I assume that it was used because the person who wrote the original select code didn't know about the side effect and I just implemented his idea when I rewrote select(). It's not clear to me from the documentation that PeekMessage could cause messages to be delivered twice. Have you actually experienced this? In any event, it looks like GetMessageStatus is a simpler interface.

As I understand it, there are no text mode problems - unless you are compiling X. So Harold, that should be "Install all Cygwin packages, only deviate from these instructions if you are an expert." As for binmode, I think automode would be appropriate for some of applications, and binmode for others. Ideally if IMake can be linked with textmode.o, everything from there on in can have the text mode issues sorted step by step.

If anyone here writes batch files that test for the OS, %OS%="" is _NOT_ valid for win9x. At least one major Networking client sets %OS% automatically on login (Novell). The most reliable tests I found where a little convoluted, and I don't have them handy, but the logic was basically: test for known OS values. if missing test for known win 95/98/ME only files if missing win3.x or dos endif endif I actually went on to test for dos vs win3.x but I think that's probably a little extreme here.

Well, I'm not going to have potential contributers shooting themselves in the foot without knowing it. The way I see it, you have one chance to hook a contributer; you can't make a single instruction obscure or leave out a simple instruction that takes someone a couple hours to figure out on their own, if you do, you just lost a potential contributer. Of course, leaving out those simple instructions or making them obscure will cost you time on the mailing list :) As Chris said, the ultimate solution is to patch imake so that it links with binmode.o. I don't want to remove my binmode instructions until a patch to imake is accepted by XFree86 and released in a new source release. We still have a few days or weeks (I don't remember which) to get such a patch into XFree86 4.1.0, as it should be considered a bug fix.

No. Imake should link with textmode or automode. binmode is when you want binary files - ie fonts and bitmaps read correctly.

I might be Novell or our Sys Admin. All I know is that it is not in my autoexec.bat file. I was surprised to learn that my LAN account had OS=WIN95 set automagically. This does not run well with OS="" in startxwin.bat. I'm glad it is being fixed soon.

Thats exactly the point: batch file writers need to cater for this. Telling the users how to fix it is not the best way.

(Pierre Humblet) Hi Harold, Sorry for the bad news but I'm not able to check if the server is freezing or not because it crashes with a apparently divide by zero error. I first tried to start from startxwin and then I just tried to start the server alone. Attached to this mail are the log file I generated when I started XWin and the dump generated by the server just in case it may help.

I think that X needs to work on textmode pc's before we can put it in the cygwin installation. automode,binmode and textmode make it a lot easier to make programs handle file correctly. I.E. for graphics progs you would link with binmode, and then override any text file opens in the programs with O_TEXT.

Squid handles 1000's or millions of files (depending on cache size), all of which have to be in binary mode or HTTP transfer lengths get corrupted. But the log file and config file are text files and should be editable by windows programs. It took me about 2 hours to convert every open and fopen to specify the mode as O_TEXT or O_BINARY, and now squid runs on binary or text mounted drives with no problems. Fonts and bitmaps opened by programs linked with binmode.o, or opened with O_BINARY will be read in byte for byte, no linefeed translation. EVEN IF CYGWIN is using TEXT mounts.

It's not the sysadmin's fault. It's the novell network client. Anyway it shouldn't be needed anymore with the new X server. All I wanted to do by starting the new thread was point out that the test for OS="" is not valid for testing for win95. So that if a new batch file is ever needed, it can be better. if os != NT is valid, and something like if "A%OSA" == "AWindows_NT" goto NT goto 95 :NT ... goto exit :95 ... goto exit :exit ^Z would be much more reliable.

Since the mapping to the compose key is done with the modmap, it would be sufficient to send the Alt_R scancode an drop the fake Control_L scancode.

Message-ID: <386831450.987080910403.JavaMail.root@web628-mc> I've carefully followed the installation instructions at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/howto/cygwin-installing.html . Towards the end, it suggestes starting the X server by double-clicking on startxwin.bat, which comes out of one of the tar files making up the install. Suggestions are there for how to edit the line that invokes XWin, but that's it. Here's the exact contents of the startxwin.bat I downloaded: @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e bash start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start /B vtwm Well, but, vtwm does not appear to exist, even after carefully following the careful installation instructions. I cannot find anything named "vtwm" anywhere on my hard drive; I get an error message complaining that vtwm was not found; and, sure enough, it doesn't look like any window manager at all is running in xfree. How do I proceed to address this? Note that I don't really care what particular window manager is running; I just want something that's functional.

Message-ID: <386510560.987082296389.JavaMail.root@web589-mc> Yesterday I tried to install xfree, version 4.0. I saw that version 4.0.3 is more common out there (and, of course, more recent), but I installed version 4.0 because the installation instructions appear to reflect that version. In particular, the list of archives needed includes one named xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 but on the sites which have archives for version 4.0, I don't see anything with rgb in the name. So, I didn't have any confidence that I would be able to translate the installation instructions to match the current version. Now I can't find vtwm. Thinking that maybe this is in some tar file that the installation instructions omitted by accident, I want to look over the available files again. However, today I can't find a mirror site that has version 4.0, only 4.0.3. Am I stuck? (I'm looking for binaries; I don't have time to compile the source.)

I believe so... anyone without a compose key is going to be awefully mad when they find out that their left control key is broken. :) Real Control_L's and fake Control_L's, generated when AltGr is pressed, both generate the same message; we can't indiscriminately drop all Control_L presses, as that effectively removes the functionality of Control_L for everyone. I believe that the solution may require flipping a flag if Control_L is pressed, but not sending the Control_L message until another key is pressed, and only sending it if that other key is not Alt_R on a keyboard that uses the compose key.

I believe some window managers use this. Even KDE uses it (Pressing Control when selecting another icon adds it to the selection list).

Was there any problem with it? GetAsyncKeyState isn't appropriate because it gets the key state at the time of the function call; that seems like a fine idea until you consider that you may be processing the Control_L message several milliseconds to several seconds after the key was actually pressed; in that amount of time the Alt_R key may be released if it was pressed, or pressed if it was released. GetKeyState gets the state of a key at the time that the current message was generated; thus, you'll always get the correct state for the Alt_R key when processing the Control_L message. > This might break some older applications which use the > keyboard modifiers > even as mouse modifier.

This is fixed. There is a fonts.dir file in every font directory; that kind of implies that mkfontdir is being copied to xc/exports/bin/, which I checked, and it is indeed there.

Of course, that resulted in the colors being completely incorrect. The new server must detect the color masks being used by your display so that it can tell the X fb code which bits represent which colors in each pixel. I'm not sure why your machine won't return the color masks. There must still be bugs in the mask detection code, but I don't have a machine that mask detection fails on, so I really can't do much to debug the problem.

You foccus on the Control_L, but how do you explain the fact that xev gives me good result (with AltGr = Mode_Switch) and nothing goes to screen with xterm ? I also tried to map Mode_Switch to another key, and the result was the same (without the fake Control_L). On Harold's one, it doesn't work in xev neither in xterm. CU . \)|(/ .

Alexander's Test 5 does not handle the Control_L key quite correctly. I use Control_L all the time in emacs, so having a broken Control_L key just isn't going to cut it. We're not going to solve this problem halfway, only to have to solve it again later. Rather, we are looking for a complete solution that will fix the problem for good; thus the discussion on the list.

Alexander and I are hashing out a final solution to AltGr handling. Test 17 is built with the GLX and SGI-GLX extensions. You can get a list of the installed extensions by running 'xdpyinfo'. I'm wondering if your application is looking for a DirectColor visual as opposed to a TrueColor visual? Could you check into what sort of visual your application expects to use with GLX?

Turned CYGDEBUG off by default. 7) Cleaned up color mask detection in hw/xwin/winshadgdi.c/winInitVisualsShadowGDI (). 8) Cleaned up some cruft in win.h.

Compilation of imake failed when I set BootstrapCFlags to /lib/automode.o, as BootstrapCFlags does not get included on the end of the compilation line for imake.exe; rather, BootstrapCFlags gets included between other flags, etc. Changing BootstrapCFlags to -l/lib/automode.o worked fine, just like -L/lib/automode.o, so would that be considered correct?

I think the only correct solution is to wait a few days until we can stabilize the patches :) Suhaib and I have been able to get away with being sloppy with the patches that we release, as until recently we were the only people interested in the patches. Having a stable server has caused more people to be interested in the patches that we release; this should be the last sloppy release of patches from us.

The purpose of win32-x11 is to provide X11 compiled with Windows native compilers with no emulation layer dependencies. You do not need xterm to access remote clients Start win32-x11, telnet to a remote machine froma Windows telnet software, set the display to your Windows machine and enjoy.

This discussion was had several times on the main cygwin list. If a user _just wants_ the X server, no local X clients, thats another matter - but until the cygwin setup supports package dependencies it is much safer to just install all. And if a user is expert, and willing to do mount points by hand etc, then they don't install everything - but it becomes their choice so we aren't supporting unknown or weird configurations. just my 0.02c Rob > Sorry, I did not catch it in draft. > > Suhaib > > From kirben@optushome.com.au Sun Apr 15 17:31:00 2001 From: kirben@optushome.com.au (Travis Howell) Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 17:31:00 -0000 Subject: Web site References: <3.0.5.32.20010415193303.00800730@pop.ne.mediaone.net> Message-ID: <00dc01c0c60c$9ae9e1a0$562fa4cb@brasd1.vic.optushome.com.au> The recent Cygwin/XFree 86 WWW site updates mention it is now compatible with Windows 95 or later but the FAQ at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/faq.html still states it isn't compatible in several sections: 1.4 How complete is Cygwin/XFree86?

Windows 95,98 and ME have 16-bit code in their GDI and we need help from volunteers to resolve issues on those platforms. The client libraries will run on Windows 95,98 and ME, but not the X servers. 1.8 Help, I retrieved the latest version via FTP, and I cannot use X Server!!!! If you are using Windows 95 or 98, break out your debugger and start working around the 16-bit code in GDI32.dll and kernel32.dll. 2.1 Can I use Cygwin/XFree86? At this time, Cygwin/XFree86 only supports Windows NT and Windows 2000. For purely experimental support for Windows 9x and Windows ME see Shadow Framebuffer Test 8. 3.7 Will you port XFree86 to Windows, NT, and Windows95? The Cygwin/XFree86 project has ported XFree86 to Windows NT/2000. See "How Complete is it?" for issues with Windows 9x and Windows MW. The Cygwin/XFree86 project does not plan to port XFree86 to windows 3.11. Also the download guide at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/docs/howto/cygwin-xfree-downloadi ng.h tml is out of date, all filenames are different now and the rgb and prog files no longer seem to exist..

Also update the requirement for cygwin1.dll to "cygwin 1.1.8 for windows NT and 2000; the april 14th snapshot for windows 95,98 and ME). Send me a diff when you've done that (cvs -z9 diff faq.html) I am slowly reworking the layout of the faq to be more accessible... thats why I want a diff, not you to commit. 2. Update your users guide. The filename references there are now obsolete, as will be the requirements and probably many other minor things. (commit this yourself.) 3. Round table what needs changing.

The current discussion is over the amount of cygwin runtime and related packages needed. And Yes the font archive is big. At this point we are simply getting XFree86 fully functional. I doubt the core developer have time or motivation to build cut-down distributions. You are of course welcome to join the project and offer your time to take the full tarballs and provide a set of smaller tarballs allowing more precise downloads.

We're still getting most of the inital xfree questions on the cygwin list, not the cygwin-xfree list.

No. passwd_sem is not even a real semaphore. It's simply used to stop security.cc looking calling getpwuid when fopen is called. Passwd_sem as a static variable has almost no overhead on access, a real semaphore or a trylock() on the mutex in security.cc will have a performance hit.

I'm not convinced that there aren't two diverse mechanisms trying to accomplish the same thing here. Since read_etc_passwd should only be called when "passwd_state == uninitialized" I assume that the intent of this code is to avoid calling read_etc_passwd more than once. This is already handled by the "passwd_state == uninitialized" test except if there is an executed race (don't know if this is the correct term). I don't really understand what the passwd_sem code in security.cc is trying to do. It seems to short circuit get_id_from_sid in the case where this function is called "simultaneously" from two different threads? Or is this function somehow called recursively from getpwent? If that is the case, then the "passwd_sem" variable could be local to security.cc, couldn't it? As it is implemented now, it seems like one thread calling getpwent could impact another thread that was calling get_id_from_sid.

I believe the recurse goes (witout function names - off top of head) fopen->check security->getpwuid->read_etc_password->fopen. the problem is that a) we can't change passwd_state from uninitialised until _after_ the read completes, or calls to getpwuid et al will think it's been read and attempt a search. b) the recursive loop above will deadlock if it comes back into read_etc_password. So we need a variable (not passwd_state) to indicate if we are currently in the protected area of read_etc_passwd. > If that is the case, then the "passwd_sem" variable could be local to > security.cc, couldn't it? As it is implemented now, it seems like > one thread calling getpwent could impact another thread that was > calling get_id_from_sid. It needs to be set in read_etc_passwd because if two threads call 1 - getpwnam 2 - fopen(foo) both calls may result in read_etc_passwd being called, but only one will enter the mutex via fopen, the other will enter the mutex via read_etc_passwd. Instant deadlock. Trylock isn't a solution because then the getpwnam and related functions will return without actually having read the database. The current code is thread safe because only one thread enters the protected code section, and that protected section sets the sem variable so that fopen won't recurse back into read_etc_passwd. A true semaphore could be used, but as the current one is mutex protected there's no point in extra overhead.

One thread will block, one will read /etc/passwd. When /etc/passwd is read, the state is set to something other than uninitialized and the mutex is released. The other thread wakes up sees the thread state change and returns, but /etc/passwd has been cached so it can use it. Isn't that the point of the lock/unlock? >The current code is thread safe because only one thread enters the >protected code section, and that protected section sets the sem variable >so that fopen won't recurse back into read_etc_passwd. In my experience, whenever you try to use two mechanisms to control recursion or simultaneous access you are asking for trouble. >A true semaphore could be used, but as the current one is mutex >protected there's no point in extra overhead. Still not convinced. It still seems like there is potential for error if two threads call get_id_from_sid. One may correctly read a UID via getpwuid, one will short-circuit. Hmm. This would be a problem even if we were attempting to detect recursion via a static variable. Maybe we need another passwd_state == 'initializing'. Hmm, again. We actually have *three* variables controlling how this operates now, passwd_state, passwd_sem, and etc_passwd_mutex. IMO, that's too many. cgf From cgf@redhat.com Mon Apr 16 20:06:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 20:06:00 -0000 Subject: [PATCH] Re: pthread -- Corinna?

On reflection, I don't see how we can ever get into the state where fopen is called recursively from read_etc_passwd. Your mutex protects against that. So, I am still of the opinion that we can remove the passwd_sem. And, we should do something similar for group_sem, too. cgf From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Mon Apr 16 21:10:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2001 21:10:00 -0000 Subject: [PATCH] Re: pthread -- Corinna?

We've got two thread issues here: 1) a area that requires serialisation (reading the file into memory) 2) a potential deadlock due to recursion (read_etc->fopen->get_id->read_etc) I think we should address the two issues separately. They aren't the same thing after all. For the deadlock, a semaphore is the traditional method - you check if you can get it, and if not either wait a while or return an error. For the serialised area, a mutex or critical section is best ( I intend to make pthread implement process-local mutex's as critical sections for performance in the near future). > >The current code is thread safe because only one thread enters the > >protected code section, and that protected section sets the > sem variable > >so that fopen won't recurse back into read_etc_passwd. > > In my experience, whenever you try to use two mechanisms to control > recursion or simultaneous access you are asking for trouble.

This highlights another problem: within cygwin we should be using the _r functions. If the implementation of getpwuid was ever changed, we could be in trouble race wise. > Hmm.

Ahh, that gets kind of messy because then all the getpwnam checks will need to be passwd_state == uninitialised || passwd_state == initializing. > Hmm, again.

Why don't we abstract out the read_etc_passwd into the search function? That will cleanup some of the state test issues. That gives passwd_state - whether the passwd file has been parsed etc_passwd_mutex - serialises the parsing. passwd_sem - allows get_id_from_sid to skip checking access on /etc/passwd when parsing /etc/passwd. I think the correct solution is to get rid of passwd_sem completely. Get rid og get_id_from_sid's shortcut capability, and give the search function the ability to do a manual one off parse of the file, without storing the result, to satisfy any getpwnam requests while /etc/passwd is being parsed.

It will recurse, though, of course, which is not right. >I think we should address the two issues separately. They aren't the >same thing after all. Ah right. I forgot my own point. This can be controlled by changing the state of passwd_state to something like "initializing". >> >A true semaphore could be used, but as the current one is mutex >> >protected there's no point in extra overhead. >> >> Still not convinced. >> >> It still seems like there is potential for error if two threads call >> get_id_from_sid.

I don't see how it can possibly be the right behavior that one thread will call get_id_from_sid and get the right behavior and another one will not. You just can't use a static variable to guard against recursion in a a multi-threaded application. You could use thread local storage for this though, I guess. >> Hmm.

I won't disagree with the thought of getting rid of passwd_sem since that is what I've been saying from the start. I don't like the idea of allowing a one-off parse of /etc/passwd, though. We actually can use the action of mutexes to detect when we are being called recursively in read_etc_passwd. We can change passwd_state to "initializing" prior to calling fopen, then if we can get the mutex in read_etc_passwd and passwd_state == initializing, we are being called recursively. We then "short circuit" most of read_etc_passwd, getpwent will return NULL, id will == -1 in get_id_from_sid and, theoretically, the rest of get_id_from_sid can be executed. Alternatively, we could also detect the "impossible" event of 'getpwent()' returning NULL in its first invocation in the function and use that to return 0, as it does now.

I edited them out of my first two attempts to send this email but forgot to do so on the third attempt.

My suggest re: manual parsing was broken. I'm not truely awake myself... (We'd re-enter fopen). Further thinking suggests that: we have two options and one bugfix. Bugfix: (We should set a notification on changes to /etc/password and reparse it if needed). 1) fail (return -1 or 0). 2) inform the fopen function that we are bootstrapping our user list, don't check security (but user access to /etc/password must still get checked). I don't know the best way to do 2). Telling get_id_from_sid is the wrong way IMO. (The point being that on unix, the kernel _always_ has read access to files, and thus should always manage to read /etc/passwd.

We should add this as a todo item. It's been a longstanding goal. Cygwin could notice when it closes /etc/passwd after writing and reparse it. That wouldn't handle the case of people modifying /etc/passwd via notepad but, nyah! nyah!

If libext needs no external shm/ipc-support(I have looked and it seems so to me), there may be no problem to export this symbols, if libext-shm needs additional libs, perhaps the distribution contains two libext, one without and one with shm support. What do you think about this ?

You both have told so much, back and forth, that I'm not quite sure how to tie in. Anyway. Robert is right in that we have two different problems. In my own words: - n>1 threads could try to call read_etc_passwd() nearly simultaneously. This is a problem which could be handled by a mutex or a critical section handler, perhaps. - get_id_from_sid is called from open if and only if ntsec is ON. That's a problem which is thread internal. Each single thread would have the same problem and it's related to the usage of `fopen' in read_etc_passwd() and read_etc_group(). `passwd_sem' and `group_sem' are just gatekeeper to avoid the recursion. Obviously, the usage of these variables isn't thread safe. The joke here is that the kernel (urgh, Cygwin itself) doesn't need ntsec. It should always be able to open /etc/passwd and /etc/group. So, the better way is probably to drop both ..._sem variables and just switch off allow_ntsec in read_etc_...() before opening a file and restoring the setting afterwards. If that's done inside of the above mentioned mutex or critical section protected area in read_etc_...(), it's protected against changings by simultaneous threads, too.

That would be a rather significant performance hit for multithreaded apps. (If they don't enter the section, then user read & writes will not be tested against nt_sec during the parsing period. - If it's system specific then we need a cross-process mutex m and every io call [...] That would make cygwin _very_ slow for parallel process behaviour. I agree that it's the best way, as long as we have allow_ntsec thread specific. Introducing a cross-thread bottleneck on i/o would be bad idea IMO.

<00b501c0c72e$00f5ddb0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Ralf, please keep replies cc'd to the list. I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that the fix for KDE is to test fot getopt.h in autoconf, and then #if HAVE_GETOPT_H #include #endif As for changing cygwin, I'm sure that if you look up a reasonable source for standards, and it shows getopt always included by unistd.h then cygwin may change. However I don't have the time just now to do that research - maybe someone else will. Cygwin changes when one of three things occurs: * a stakeholder - thats any cygwin user - wants a particular thing changed, and provides a patch that meets code quality review. This includes confirmance to standards and the like. (I recommend the single unix specification as a good starting point ( http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799 )). * one of the "core team" is piqued enough by a stakeholders request that they follow through and do the research and coding for the stakeholder. * A redhat client pays for development to occur. So the real answer to "can cygwin include getopt.h from within unistd.h" is 1) I don't know what the standards say. As cygwin doesn't I presume that one of the existing unix's cygwin has inherited features from doesn't include getopt automatically. 2) Not knowing, and not being affected by it, I'm not about to look it up until/unless spare time happens to me. (This may sound harsh, but if every developer looked up every user inquiry, we'd not be developers any more :] ) 3) I can offer you a workaround (done). 4) If you want to invest the time in finding out what the unix standards suggest, and or expand your list of other os to some O/S names then the amount of work for a developer to change this and commit it will have been significantly reduced. With that reduction you may well find that it gets changed.

It's process-specific. Hmmja, I didn't reflect about that. Sorry. My first idea (which I didn't write about) was probably better: When I changed the code in passwd.cc and grp.cc once, I was annoyed about the usage of fopen in these internal functions. However, I didn't change it due to the usage of fgets(). I'm pretty sure it would be better to use CreateFile/ReadFile/CloseHandle in read_etc_...() than high-level libc functions. This would drop the need for the ..._sem variables once and for all. No open(), no ntsec, no recursion. It only would have to care for line endings by itself.

I was mulling over the idea of not using fopen/fread but it didn't seem like prospect of doing all of the buffer/line management was really worth it. I don't particularly like the idea of using the f* family either but I think that duplicating the functionality of open/read for this situation isn't really worth it. cgf From muller@cerbere.u-strasbg.fr Tue Apr 17 07:23:00 2001 From: muller@cerbere.u-strasbg.fr (Pierre Muller) Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 07:23:00 -0000 Subject: xmodmap file for french keyboard with last Xfree 4.0.3 binari es References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C23C35E5@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20010417155831.00a1dbc0@ics.u-strasbg.fr> At 15:59 17/04/01 , vous avez ????crit: > > Sorry, I can't tell you if the latest release works better as > > that one > > crashes consistently at startup > > (on Win95, with an up to date cygwin installation) > > > >Did you do a clean installation of Cygwin/Xfree86?

Cygwin/XFree86 must trim the specified screen width when you specify a screen width greater than the largest client area allowed for a window. Cygwin/XFree86 does not currently ensure that 24 bit screens are a multiple of 4 pixels wide after trimming the width. Workaround: specify a screen width on the command line that is a multiple of 4 pixels wide and that will not result in automatic trimming. (e.g. -screen 1024x768x24 on a 1280x1024x24 screen) Let us know if that works, Harold From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Tue Apr 17 08:18:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 08:18:00 -0000 Subject: ATI Mach64 Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C23C35E9@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> do not use superprobe ;-) It compiles Ok, and it is not included in latest binaries. you must have it from earlier releases and I intentionally disabled... on Windows it will not let you execute it because I do not want to damage your video card.

I reinstalled the fonts from the 4-14 binary distro but all the buttons have no English words - an OK button shows as a blank button.

Nevertheless, I must emphasize that the test 18 version did work with a screen resolution of 24 bit s per pixel! Concerning the keyboard events, there are lots of spurious key eevents generated: (I loaded the french modmap previously sent to this list by Andrew Markebo) Left Alt key generates regularly keypress and keyrelease evnets even if I old the key pressed, is this intended ? The Windows key at the right of the AltGr key does generate an long list of keypress and keyrelease events until some other key is pressed again, when the xev window is again in focus ! (Maybe this has to do with the fact that it is also associated with Mode_Switch keysym as AltGr, anyway, I am not sure this is really a good idea, maybe it shouldn't be used at all by the Xserver as it opens the Windows menu bar anyway!)

How about only one person start collecting patches and submitting to XF86 ORG. I already sent the patches for our last week modification. After I am done with pthread issues I will send a new set of patches, then I could send the Imakefile patch. There were some other issues with this Imakefile, for example Xnest and Xvfb were looking for libXF86_OS.a which we do not compile on Cygwin. The XWin.exe compilation with your changes was returning error __infinity multiple references for -lm and -lcygwin, I had to add #define MathLibrary /**/ to disable -lm linking. The XWin linking was also returing error -lshadow "no such file". All these problems were fixed in Imakefile and patches were sent last week to XF86 ORG.

Not me :-) Chris Faylor. Anyway, regarding your WindowsXP. Just now I tested on a third Windows XP Beta 2 Professionl machine. The X works fine. The problem you are seeing is with bash. if you start xterm with -e /usr/bin/bash (using bash as a shell). The xterm crashed on me with the following error: This definitely a Cgwin issue and Chris needs to look into it c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x25A0000) in child, cygheap, Win32 error 487 c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x24C0000) in child, cygheap, Win32 error 487 c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xterm.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap (0x2450000) in child, cygheap, Win32 error 487 HOWEVER, you can use xterm with sh, i.e. xterm -e /usr/bin/sh and it works fine on Windows XP Professional, no heap errors.

I'm not the list admin, but I don't think this will happen. It's _very_ bad practice for mailing lists to alter the reply-to: field of an email. Adding elements to the mail envelope is the supported way to indicate list reply address's and good mailers support those. (I don't have a url handy, sorry).

Some comments and then I will shut up about this issue: * Reply-to: should not be altered but added if not present. I don't understand what can be wrong with by default having reply's to a mail of a mailing list going to that mailing list, if that is an agreed practice for the mailing list ? * Some people are forced to use bad mailers. * Sometimes practice gives other solutions then what should be done according to standards or religious discussions * I don't mind if people wants to keep on complaining about having sent a mail to them directly.

Remove the acknowledgement request from mails where you add a reply-to: header.

This is because they are still a work-in-progress and aren't yet ready for official inclusion. The development and porting of XFree86 on cygwin is supported by a separate mailing list, website, and download location.

I tested this without loading any xmodmap and the behavior is the same (of course I then have the US keyboard layout) Any ideas what could be wrong here, can it be a configuration issue or is this a server bug ? I tried also to run xev from a remote machine and the result is exactly the same, this seems in favor of a server related problem, no ? Futhermore, the AltGr key which seemed to work for me this morning (with the xmodmap.fr laoded), does not seem to work anymore... strange, as I didn't change really much in my setup!

I have just upgraded from B20 to the latest Cygwin release, and for the first time, am trying xfree86 under Cygwin. Unfortunately, with not too much success at present. When starting the server, I get a basic window, which then closes. I have tried modifying the startwin.bat to change resolution, etc. and there is no difference. The machine is a Dell Latitude 500 laptop running Win2k. The debug info is attached.

I can do a rlogin to our departmental server which is a RedHat Linux box. I can run most of the Linux X applications just fine by setting DISPLAY to my workstation IP address. However the GIMP does not pop up its menu when I right-click the image. Right-click appears to work in other apps like Emacs and on the WindowMaker background. It fails in GIMP with both twm and WindowMaker (and in plain X) so I assume it is not a window manager problem. The GIMP claims to be version 1.03 (this version does use the right-click menu, right?). Any ideas?

Whatever gets kicked off by startxwin.bat lives a short unhappy life with that version in place. Was there something on the list about test 18 now being moot?

Anyway, the download web page said "enjoy". :) Here is the XWin.exe.stackdump created: Exception: STATUS_INTEGER_DIVIDE_BY_ZERO at eip=004A0EF8 eax=00000000 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000010 edx=00000000 esi=00000010 edi=027BFCFA ebp=027BF980 esp=027BFC18 program=D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args 027BF980 004A0EF8 (00000000, 00000000, 00000000, 00000000) 027BFC24 004A0EF8 (027BFCFA, 027BFCFA, 027BFCFA, 0A017F60) 027BFC54 0043DC6C (027BFCFA, 027BFCFA, 027BFCFA, 0A017F60) 027BFCA4 0041DA22 (0A017F98, 027BFCFA, 027BFCFA, 027BFCFA) 027BFD04 004A1624 (0A017A00, 00000000, 027BFD64, 00437227) 027BFD24 0043DCC2 (0A017A00, 00000000, 00000000, 00000008) 027BFD64 00437233 (00000000, 0A017A00, 00000008, 0A011410) 027BFDA4 00436FCB (00000000, 0A017A00, 00000008, 0A011410) 027BFE04 00402054 (00436F48, 00000008, 0A011410, 00436A87) 027BFE34 00436B12 (007A472C, 00000008, 0A011410, 00401693) 027BFE74 004016A8 (00000008, 0A011410, 0A010008, FFFFFFFE) 027BFF10 61003859 (00000000, 798D7500, 77F763D3, 77F763DB) 027BFF40 61003A3D (00401404, 798D7500, 8094108C, 80941020) 027BFF60 61003A7C (00000000, 00000000, 7FFAE000, 00000000) 027BFF90 0074358B (00401404, 80899340, 00000246, 8011748B) 027BFFC0 0040103D (798D7500, 01C0C826, 7FFDF000, 7FFDF000) End of stack trace (more stack frames may be present) ------Original Message------ From: "Harold Hunt" To: "'Animated Dimples'" , Sent: April 12, 2001 2:14:44 PM GMT Subject: RE: looking for vtwm -- version 4.0? Alex, Sorry about that 4.0 vs. 4.0.3 confusion: the User's Guide is slightly out of date. You can install whichever version you get your hands on. You'll want to grab my latest test executable: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/ The rgb tarball is about 2 kB, I'll email it to you. Huh... there doesn't seem to be a vtwm tarball. I'm not sure that their ever was. I've got vtwm, but I have no idea how I got it. :) I could send my vtwm executable to you, if you would like.

Under Linux I have to choose the X server I am need so that it matches the hardware but under cygwin there is just one executable called XWin.exe. How does it know what video card I have?I I ask for the following reason: when I run the X server the background does not look as nice as the windows 2k background: let me explain: I am using SAMSUNG SyncMaster 700NF monitor (a flat CRT) with a 3dfx voodoo3 card. I see some funny wave like patterns behind the gray pattern when I launch X Windows. These patterns are the same as those I see (and I assume other users would see them too) when I click Start, Shutdown (you need a fairly light background to see them and they only appear after clicking Shutdown). How can we keep the patterns from showing up?

First of all : Thanks to all developers for making this X-Server. In my company we have tested quite a view and your product is very good. So I have only got a simple question, but as I do not know too much about XFree-X-Server I'm asking you now: To start, I am using command line parameters: Xwin.exe -screen 0 800x600x8 -query aaron -from mose So the X-Server comes up and I can login to the Linux-box Aaron... But how can I switch the keyboard settings from US to German? I tried and played with some of the parameters, but nothing helped. Thanks for your help!

Message-ID: <003801c0c8a8$65451120$1e82a8c0@csg.com.au> Hi there all, Sorry if this is in the FAQ (have requested it but am a little impatient). I've just gotten xfwm (xfce3) running and find that I have no fonts. Memory from bygone days says the fonts should be sourced from '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts' which exists and holds many fonts. Is there a similar place for errors to be reported, the way XDM does? As this would help in finding the fonts. Basically I get a square or bunch of them for all the fonts in the pull-up menu's for tool tips etc. The drop down menu's from the desktop are ok, but dialog boxes have no fonts. Any help would be appreciated, even a point to a relevant FAQ.

You need to tell the server what kind of keyboard you have, by using "xmodmap [keyboard definition file]". I don't know if the german keyboard has a AltGr-key, but support for that key is being worked on at the moment. Either grab the keyboard definition file from a machine who has it (linux redhat or similar)(I sent redhats xmodmaps to the list a while ago I think), or use xkeycaps to create a definition file for your keyboard. /Andy From arionyu@i-stt.com.hk Thu Apr 19 01:33:00 2001 From: arionyu@i-stt.com.hk (arionyu@i-stt.com.hk) Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 01:33:00 -0000 Subject: What is the Window Manager for the Screen Shot?

In the meantime you can copy the fonts from Linux box if you want. go to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ directory on your Linux box then tar gzip the fonts directory.

One of the nice things about printf bombing is that you don't need the stack to be in good order to get some idea of where its dying. Alternatives include: dumper.exe to get a core dump dynmically launch gdb breakpoints. on the minus side. multi thread apps can be nightmares to debug. Debugging often removes race appearances.

Message-ID: <3ADF1013.D0B7CA94@first.gmd.de> Your Xfree86 port looks fine, unfortunately does not have 24-bit support (led to a core dump), but runs even under Win98. Great! I installed all the xfree86-4.0.3-*.tar.bz2 files on top of the recent cygwin version 1.1.8. I just downloaded everything from ftp.franken.de, one of your main mirrors. But, I (and X) miss the /etc/X11/... stuff, part of which is linked to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. X runs nevertheless, but some setting is missing, like xinitrc, xserverrc, SecurityPolicy, ... Therefore, functionality (like starting some window manager) is missing. BTW: etc-x11-vtwm.tar.bz2 contains some of the missing parts, but does not work at all: the .xinitrc starts the unknown xfwm instead of there contained vtwm, which in turn is misconfigured. I don't think this is intended, so consider this a bug report.

Message-ID: Hello all I have been using cygwin xfree for a while and have struck an unusual issue. I use xwin for a xdmcp connection to our linux server, after a period of time of inactivity (say after coming in on a morning having left it running all night) I find that the keyboard no longer functions in any of the xterm's that have been opened. This morning I found for the first time that the mouse clicking the xterm close icon, would not work (although I could drag the xterm arround). Has anyone else had similar problems? I am running the latest xfree-4.0.3 downloaded yesterday. It is running on Windows NT4. I suspect that the problem may be related either to the windows screensaver, the xwindows screensaver, or the fact that I minimise the xwin window on the windows machine.

Hello all I have been using cygwin xfree for a while and have struck an unusual issue. I use xwin for a xdmcp connection to our linux server, after a period of time of inactivity (say after coming in on a morning having left it running all night) I find that the keyboard no longer functions in any of the xterm's that have been opened. This morning I found for the first time that the mouse clicking the xterm close icon, would not work (although I could drag the xterm arround). Has anyone else had similar problems? I am running the latest xfree-4.0.3 downloaded yesterday. It is running on Windows NT4. I suspect that the problem may be related either to the windows screensaver, the xwindows screensaver, or the fact that I minimise the xwin window on the windows machine. For the moment I have to restart xwin which is OK but a bit of an inconvenience.

I have observed the problem and I believe that I will be able to fix it when I fix the non-U.S. keyboard handling within the next couple of days. As a workaround, press and release the Alt key when you return to the server and find that the keyboard is not working. You may need to try other modified keys (Ctrl, Shift, etc.). I find that this generally returns the keyboard to normal operations.

For example the Ascii character '@', which is on the german keyboard on AltGr+Q is also reachable by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Q. I don't know if that helps but I'm under the impression that could eliminate all special handling for AltGr if Ctrl+Alt works as expected. Am I missing something?

Message-ID: Thanks to Reini, Harold and George for their help. Using IE instead of Netscape solved the problem with bunzip2. tar xf ... worked well, with one exception: tar xf xfree...devel.tar reported error "Cannot open: No such file or directory" when it tried to install usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver and ../xsm (are these files or links ?). Is this serious ? Anyway, startwin.bat does not work. It opens briefly two MSDOS windows in the second of which I have hardly enough time to read: Couldn????t open RGB_DB ????/usr/.../rbg???? ... Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root. What shall I do ?

If I map Mode_Switch to the Alt-L key, the Alt-L works exactly as I want the AltGr. So maybe you just have to treat AltGr key like the Alt-L or any normal key, no ? But the good new is that with proper xmodmap, Non-US can use their keyboard. CU . \)|(/ .

The Mode_Switch keysym tells the Xserver to map the keysym 3+4 as normal and shifted keysym to the keys pressed after Mode_switch. You can map Mode_switch to any key on the keyboard. But this is just a work around. If you don't need your Control_L key often, you can also remove the modifier for that key with xmodmap -e "remove control = Control_L" But this can't be the solution since most people are used to use Control_L or AltGr and don't want to use Alt_L. A lot of programs even need the Alt_L key (eg. Netscape 4). > So maybe you just have to treat AltGr key like the Alt-L or any normal key, no ?

I was able to fix 24 bpp color because I finally switched my monitor to use my built in graphics card which supports 24 bpp. There were only two things preventing 24 bpp color from working: 1) hw/xwin/InitOutput.c/g_PixmapFormats had the wrong bitsPerPixel, 32, for 24 bit depth pixmaps. The correct bitsPerPixel for 24 bit depth pixmaps is 32. 2) hw/xwin/winshadgdi.c/winQueryRGBBitsAndMasks() cannot detect the color masks for 24 bpp; however, the color masks for 24 bpp are standardized, so I hard coded them.

I attached a patch to the winwndproc.c from Apr-14 Sourceball which fixes at least the press of AltGr (the release is not done yet). It uses mainly the good fact, that the fake Control_L- and Alt_R-message have the same timestamp. I just cache the Control_L press, set a very short timestamp and 1) drop the Control_L if the coresponding Alt_R message arrives 2) send the Control_L if a) another key (not Alt_Gr) was pressed b) the timeout (currently 1ms) expires The current code still needs to be cleaned up, but hope you can already give some hints on possible error and mistakes.

Fake Ctrl_L presses are detected by checking if the message following an Ctrl_L press is an Alt_R release message with the same timestamp as the Ctrl_L press; if such a message is found, we discard the Ctrl_L press message. Fake Ctrl_L releases are detected and discarded in a similar manner. If you get a chance, please run the executable, enter the following key sequences, and send the generated keys.log file to the list. The keystrokes I need are: 1) Ctrl_L down, Ctrl_L up 2) Alt_L down, Alt_L up 3) AltGr down, AltGr up 4) Ctrl_R down, Ctrl_R up 5) Ctrl_L down, AltGr down, Ctrl_L up, AltGr up Hopefully I've got an AltGr user out there that can test this quickly, though most of you are probably asleep, as I have a hunch that this test should work and I'm really itching to get this problem fixed :) Thanks for testing, Harold From cgf@redhat.com Sat Apr 21 16:33:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2001 16:33:00 -0000 Subject: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' References: <3AE15516.631F268A@unidui.uni-duisburg.de> Message-ID: <20010421193433.G4033@redhat.com> On Sat, Apr 21, 2001 at 11:38:30AM +0200, Holger Vogt wrote: >Hi! > >I got the same error when I expanded the tar files with WinZip.

In fact, don't use WinZip to extract ANY files in ANY cygwin distribution. This is a hard and fast rule.

Just another question, does the XWin window disappear several times during initialisation? If so, then the problem is that the server is reset everytime the last connected client closed the conection. To avoid this add a -noreset option to the XWin.exe commandline. bye ago.

It starts the XWin window, xterm and other Xclients software included in the startxwin.bat. The problem is that at first I can move the mouse inside the XWin window and I could issue commands in the xterm like ls, ps, etc. But after a several commands issued, no input is allowed. The mouse point is not moving inside the XWin window, though I could still move the mouse point outside the XWin window after changing the window by using the alt-tab key stroke. Besides this major problem, I found several minor problems like (1) The readme file in the ftp site is not updated to the current contents in the ftp site. (2) In the startxwin.bat, start /B seems to be wrong in my Windows ME. No option /B for the start dos command. In my Windows ME, I have options like /m,/max,/r,/w but no /B. (3) In the commandline option for XWin.exe, -engine seems not be supported. For your information, I included the specification of my computer *** The spec of my computer ** 1. cpu: PENTIUM III 800MHz 2. operationing system: Windows ME (localization: Korean) 3.

In the xc/config/imake directory is a program called imake.exe. Cd into xc/lib/Xmu and run xmkmf with the following parameters: ../../config/imake/imake -I../../config/cf -DTOPDIR=../.. -DCURDIR=lib/Xmu alternatively you can run "config/util/xmkmf -a" from the xc directory.

I have still some strange things, but these might well be due to my lack of knowledge of X programs. 1) The special AltGr key combinations work correctly, but in a xterm window I am unable to print any accentueted char (????, ???? or ????) Is this a Xterm feature ? Probably, as the same chars are dispalyed correctly inside vi in INSERT mode! 2) The xterm window that I open with the menu that I get when pressing on left button while on background behaves differently from the one started by the startxwin.bat file: Arrow keys do not retrieve history of commands and file completion also does not work. I have no idea which option does allow or disable these features... 3) I write myself program for console mode using termcap escape codes, these program might be buggy in the sense that the use alternate fonts but might forget to disable them on exit. On other telnet client this does not seem to be a problem, but under xterm from CygFreeX86 I end up with chars being changed after I have run this program: The prompt from bash is changed from: [muller@demeter compiler]$ into (Capital A with " on top)muller(paragraph sign)demeter compiler(Capital U with " on top)$ All what is inside one () is the explanation of a single char, as I wasn't sure that this would be correctly read by different email clients ! One more positive thing: the mouse for mc works for this version, great! Anyway, thanks again for all your efforts !

I agree partly with you, but using -- Dave telnet in xterm emulation mode, -- WinAxe (a shareware X server I tested once) -- putty.exe ssh client -- or even telnet from cygwin bash directly does not generate that kind of font changes. So it is at least something specific to the win32 Xfree86 server. >The problem might be that you can control fonts and so on from within >the terminal on xterm, there are escape-codes to reset the xterm mode, >but I don't have them in my pocket.

Can you have a look at the TERM variable by doing 'echo $TERM'. Please set this to xterm before you run these programs. (In bash 'export TERM=xterm') If you don't do this cygwin ncurses probably thinks you are in a windows terminal window and creates the wrong escape sequences which can cause these font problems.

The Xserver is after logging in via kdm owned by the linux box. You can not connect from your windows environment.

On one of my machines (Win95) the query failed with the error message XDMCP fatal error: Session declined No valid address the reason seems to be an not completely initialized interface. After compiling os/access.c with the extra define -DDEF_SELF_DEBUG, XWin prints some additional info. On Win2k the output of this section is Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = lo, addr = 127.0.0.1 Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = eth0, addr = 192.168.26.212 Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = eth0, baddr = 192.168.26.255 On Win95 (the not working host) it's only Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = lo, addr = 127.0.0.1 setting the -from does not work since this is only used in xdmcp initalisation. I want to know if someone got xdmcp working with win95 or if this error occurs on other windows version too. I also tracked the problem down to some functions in lib/xtrans/Xtrans.c but since the machine i'm trying to debug is very slow I just wanted to ask, if someone has an idea whats wrong here. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From huntharo@msu.edu Mon Apr 23 15:40:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 15:40:00 -0000 Subject: XDMCP Session Declined References: Message-ID: <000001c0cc46$06926b90$2fab0a23@huntharo> I don't have a Windows 95 machine, so this one is all you Alexander :) Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com > [ mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of Alexander > Gottwald > Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 2:45 PM > To: XFree86/Cygwin Mailing list > Subject: XDMCP Session Declined > > > Hi > > I'm investigating some problems when connecting from XWin to xdm. > On one of my machines (Win95) the query failed with the error > message > XDMCP fatal error: Session declined No valid address > > the reason seems to be an not completely initialized interface. > After compiling os/access.c with the extra define -DDEF_SELF_DEBUG, > XWin prints some additional info. > > On Win2k the output of this section is > Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = lo, addr = 127.0.0.1 > Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = eth0, addr = 192.168.26.212 > Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = eth0, baddr = 192.168.26.255 > > On Win95 (the not working host) it's only > Xserver: DefineSelf(): ifname = lo, addr = 127.0.0.1 > > setting the -from does not work since this is only used in xdmcp > initalisation. > > I want to know if someone got xdmcp working with win95 or if > this error > occurs on other windows version too. > > I also tracked the problem down to some functions in > lib/xtrans/Xtrans.c > but since the machine i'm trying to debug is very slow I just > wanted to > ask, if someone has an idea whats wrong here. > > bye > ago > -- > Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de > http://www.gotti.org > +49 3725 3498080 > From Ralf.Habacker@saght.tessag.com Tue Apr 24 00:53:00 2001 From: Ralf.Habacker@saght.tessag.com (Ralf Habacker) Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 00:53:00 -0000 Subject: problems with referencing data in dlls References: <01C0CC0C.627236A0@george.wakileh@vol.at> Message-ID: <001601c0cc93$2d0dc5b0$6e032bb7@BRAMSCHE> Hi, can anyone tell me, how the xfree/cygwin team solves the problem with referencing dll-data from executables ?

Message-ID: I have just installed Cygwin/Xfree (4.0.3) and have found a couple of problems. I wonder if anyone could enlighten me as to whether these are known problems, with or without workarounds, or whether it is just me. BTW I am using Win2000 SP1. First, on running startxwin.bat I get the following error: The procedure entry point Xutf8TextToTextProperty could not be located in the dynamic link library libX11.dll. The X server seems to start OK after that. The next problem comes when I run xhost, I get a Windows error message complaining that the DLL libXmuu.dll could not be found.

As man xdm stated, the file Xsetup should be the one you're looking for.

You must have extracted your font archive using something other than bunzip2 and tar; WinZip, etc. are notorious for not putting the correct line endings on Cygwin tar archives. Always use the Cygwin tar, gzip, and bzip2 when dealing with archives related to Cygwin. Please follow the instructions in the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide that tell how the Cygwin/XFree86 tarballs should be uncompressed and unarchived: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/howto/cygwin-xfree-installing.html > then I tried 11r6.0 and > it crashed... said it could't load xf_dx.dll.

The server released on 2001-04-17 replaces all previous releases and is a complete rewrite; any questions or problems with prior releases will be disregarded :) > runs quite well until linking the whole thing .. then > it says that it can't find Xaw3d (a piece of Athena). X Athena Widgets are distributed with XFree86; X Athena Widgets 3D, however, are a replacement for the X Athena Widgets and are not distributed with XFree86 sources. I found this by doing a Google, http://www.google.com , search for 'Xaw3d', which turned up the project's home page, http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/wafe/Xaw3d.html . I suggest you look there for further info regarding Xaw3d. You may consider looking for a flag in Velvet that determines whether the X Athena Widget Set or the X Athena Widget Set 3D is to be used; there may or may not be such a flag, but there is only one way to find out :) Thank you for your interest in the project, Harold From wgarcia@upf.es Wed Apr 25 03:31:00 2001 From: wgarcia@upf.es (Walter Garcia-Fontes) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 03:31:00 -0000 Subject: Building xserver Message-ID: <3AE6A776.B3642708@upf.es> I'm trying to rebuild the xserver.

Message-ID: <01C0CD85.93BAEF20@george.wakileh@vol.at> Hello, I downloaded /mirror/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-src/4.0.3 as suggested by Suhaib, and did bunzip2 and tar -xf. Trying to compile Xmuu, I get make: *** No rule to make target `../../exports/include/X11/Xlib.h', needed by `ClientWin.o'. Stop. To my belief, the path should be `../X11/Xlib.h'. There is no directory called `exports' at all. Also ../../include/X11 should be ../../include ../../include/X11/extensions should be ../../include/extensions Trying to compile Xmu, Xaw or Xext, I get make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/include/stddef.h', needed by `AllCmap.o' / `Actions.o' / `globals.o'. Stop. Please note that cygwin installed gcc-lib in /lib not /usr/lib, then I have 2.95.3-2 not 2.95.2-6. Using xmkmf to generate the makefile and then make, I get AsciiSink.c:1490: invalid type argument of `->' AsciiSink.c: In function `GetGC': AsciiSink.c:1630: structure has no member named `cursor_color' AsciiSink.c: In function `XawAsciiSinkInitialize': AsciiSink.c:1670: structure has no member named `cursor_position' AsciiSink.c: In function `XawAsciiSinkSetValues': AsciiSink.c:1784: structure has no member named `properties' AsciiSink.c:1785: `XawTextProperty' undeclared (first use in this function) AsciiSink.c:1789: `XAW_TPROP_FONT' undeclared (first use in this function) AsciiSink.c:1790: request for member `font' in something not a structure or union AsciiSink.c:1791: `XAW_TPROP_FOREGROUND' undeclared (first use in this function) AsciiSink.c:1792: request for member `foreground' in something not a structure or union AsciiSink.c:1793: request for member `mask' in something not a structure or union AsciiSink.c:1793: `XAW_TPROP_BACKGROUND' undeclared (first use in this function) AsciiSink.c:1794: request for member `background' in something not a structure or union make: *** [AsciiSink.o] Error 1 I then looked into the makefile for xv and corrected things.

I applied your all the patches. ;-) The problem is, if I am not mistaken, you were using SHADOW=miext/shadow and at few other place if I remember correctly XF86 defines SHDOWDIR=miext/shadow.... whatever there were some conflicts because of that Makefiles in miext/shadow were generated but make refuses to descend to it and compile...

The XWINDIRS line was the culprit. I made a mistake and put $(FB) and $(SHADOW) into the XWINDIRS variable. $(FB) and $(SHADOW) refer to the fb and shadow libraries, not the directories. I have since corrected that by changing $(FB) and $(SHADOW) to $(FBDIR) and $(SHADOWDIR). I checked my patch email and it was in there, indeed. If I recall correctly, there was some other problem with my patch, and I think I failed to submit a fixed Imakefile to you. I blamed you but it was really just my fault :) I'll repackage that patch soon and send it to you.

That probably won't work if someone is getting a multiple DLL error. Make sure that all running cygwin processes are stopped and use Windows Find/Search to find other versions of cygwin1.dll. Usually people stick cygwin1.dll in windows/system32 for some misguided reason. I'm beginning to think that setup.exe should just delete any cygwin1.dll's that it finds there. cgf >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Lawrence Piano" >To: >Cc: "Lawrence J Piano (E-mail)" >Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 7:52 AM >Subject: 1.3.1 cygwin release > > >> When I installed the new 1.3.1 cygwin release today, I couldn't run >the >> xfree86 server since it complained that I was using the wrong >cygwin1.dll. >> This makes sense since it's new, so a) is there an "easy" tweak or b) >can I >> recompile the xfree86 distribution (4.0.3) with the new cygwin1.dll or >c) >> shall I wait until a new version of xfree86 comes out that's >compatible? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Larry >> >> >> -- cgf@cygnus.com Red Hat, Inc. http://sources.redhat.com/ http://www.redhat.com/ From wyguo@hotmail.com Wed Apr 25 18:40:00 2001 From: wyguo@hotmail.com (Wuyun Guo) Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2001 18:40:00 -0000 Subject: Problems in starting some X-Window Applications References: Message-ID: Hi!

The later server, launched by startx, is at least a somewhat recent build of Cygwin/XFree86; however, the former server, launched by startxwin.bat is some other vendor's server, or a really old version of Cygwin/XFree86. You need to find out what executable startxwin.bat is launching, then find all instances of that executable on your drive and make sure that the server you want to launch is the first to appear in your path. One thing to note: 8 bit depth is not supported.

For this reason, I have tried again under same x-server contained in xc-4-binaries 4.0.3 (full screen) and have obtained results as following: case 1. --> Both X-Window and application are OK startxwin.bat ( start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x8 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 ) case 2. --> X-Window is OK but application failed startxwin.bat ( start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 ) case 3. --> same to case 2 startx The detail informations about that are as follows (I am sorry that it's too long): ********************************************************** ----------------- the case 1 ------------------ name of display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc vendor release number: 40099001 XFree86 version: 4.0.99.1 maximum request size: 4194300 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32 image byte order: LSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 2 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 134 focus: window 0x60000e, revert to PointerRoot number of extensions: 21 BIG-REQUESTS DOUBLE-BUFFER Extended-Visual-Information FontCache GLX LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD RECORD SECURITY SGI-GLX SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP X3D-PEX XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-Bigfont XIE XTEST XVideo default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (260x195 millimeters) resolution: 100x100 dots per inch depths (2): 1, 8 root window id: 0x33 depth of root window: 8 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x21 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 255 options: backing-store NO, save-unders NO largest cursor: 1024x768 current input event mask: 0xd0001d KeyPressMask ButtonPressMask ButtonReleaseMask EnterWindowMask SubstructureRedirectMask PropertyChangeMask ColormapChangeMask number of visuals: 8 default visual id: 0x28 visual: visual id: 0x28 class: PseudoColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 256 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x29 class: GrayScale depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 256 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2a class: StaticColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 256 red, green, blue masks: 0x7, 0x38, 0xc0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2b class: TrueColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 8 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0x7, 0x38, 0xc0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2c class: TrueColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 8 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0x7, 0x38, 0xc0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2d class: DirectColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 8 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0x7, 0x38, 0xc0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2e class: DirectColor depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 8 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0x7, 0x38, 0xc0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x2f class: StaticGray depth: 8 planes available colormap entries: 256 red, green, blue masks: 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 significant bits in color specification: 8 bits XKEYBOARD extension not supported by server SHAPE version 1.0 opcode: 128, base event: 64 SYNC version 3.0 opcode: 137, base event: 74, base error: 153 system counters: 1 SERVERTIME id: 0x00000031 resolution_lo: 4 resolution_hi: 0 Xlib: extension "XFree86-DGA" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".

On a similar note, the FAQ seems highly dated. Are there plans to update this in line with the new releases (it still mentions only NT/2000 support) and updates? Harold - you were going to prep a minor update - has that been paused? If so I'll update it this weekend re supported paltforms. As far as releases go, no!. It's a FAQ, not a download page. If you want the most recent release look on a mirror, or when Xfree is integrated with cygwin setup, just run setup.exe. I might put News announcements for version increments, but not for each binary :]. And of course, you can announce it on the main cygwin news page.

I have really wanted it. So I downloaded all the files and started to install without any hesitation. I did not expect that I would install and use successfully at one time. The problem that I have now is as following. 1. When I run 'startxwin.bat' at dos window, big screen(almost full) is poped up with big 'X' cursor and it just stays forever. It does not give me a xterm or other things. 2. So I tried to run 'startx' at the bash shell. It runs O.K. but cygwin/xfree86 window size is always 640x480. I have tried to do several things sunch as 'XWin -screen 0 ....' which is mentioned in this mail archives but would not work.] 3. Even it was O.K. with small size window, x server is crashed when I connect to unix machine(SUN) and tried to run some application such as 'hspice' graphical interface. I am using win98se korean version. Any comment on this problem would be helpful for me.

What do you meen with windowmode? The current release allows displaying in fullscreen mode and, like Xnest would do on X, in a window. If you expect complete desktop integration (every X-window gets its own windows-window) then you have to wait (or to help). the current windowed mode can be seen in some screenshots eg. http://www.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~ago/desktop.jpg (the color problem has been fixed meanwhile) bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 349 80 80 From alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk Fri Apr 27 08:27:00 2001 From: alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk (Alan Hourihane) Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2001 08:27:00 -0000 Subject: minimal cygwin to run XFree86 ?

You can configure the size of the Window with the XWin.exe. For Example I am running at 1284x1024x16 in Windows. I didn't want my Xwindow to take up the whole screen so I did this command XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x728x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 to make the Window size 1024x728. So if your screen res is at 1024x728x16 you could use 800x600x16 or 640x480x16 or maybe any other size(though I have not test this).

The absolte minimum of font files needed to run xwin is: fonts.dir, fonts.alias, 6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz and cursor.pcf.gz, all from fonts/misc/, a total of 42.1 kB. Of course then nearly all applications will complain about missing fonts, or even cease to work, xwin also will complain but still run (including rxvt and twm).

Not really an issue IMO. Xwin is the standard name of the binary for an X-Server. "Xfree86" is the name of the product.

Assuming XWin is the standard name of an executable for an XFree86 server, then it is silly of us to call our library and source repository 'xwin', as the name 'xwin' does not clearly indicate which hardware platform said objects are for; as opposed to the other names in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/, which do clearly indicate a platform or project, such as 'darwin', 'xfree86', 'kdrive' (kernel driver), etc. Chris Faylor wrote: > I just did a trademark search for "Xwin" and found only one > in an unrelated > industry (rock crushers). Good idea to do a search; I had not done one myself.

Good point. Okay, so Chris and Robert have forced me to admit my real reasons for wanting a name change :) 1) The name 'xwin' is ambiguous (does it mean 'X WINdow system', 'X for WINdows', 'X for WIN16' (cause otherwise wouldn't it be xwin32? :), or 'X Will Impale Neanderthals'? 2) 'xwin' doesn't refer to the fact that our platform is Cygwin, not simply Win32 3) 'xwin' is too similar to the name of an existing commercial product (I believe it is good form to pick a name that is not going to cause confusion, even if we aren't legally required to do so) 4) Changing the name now will affect relatively few people compared to the number that will be affected when word spreads about Cygwin/XFree86 being stable 5) We need to design a project logo to use with our program icon, on our web page, and at the top of documents, such as the User's Guide and FAQ. It would be nice to pick a name and logo that work well together :) There are my real reasons, so pick those apart now :) Harold From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 29 01:33:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 29 Apr 2001 01:33:00 -0000 Subject: Naming of Cygwin/XFree86 components Message-ID: > -----Original Message----- > From: Harold Hunt [ mailto:huntharo@msu.edu ] > Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2001 5:55 PM > To: Cygx (E-mail) > Subject: RE: Naming of Cygwin/XFree86 components > > > Robert Collins wrote: > > This would be a bad move. anything linked to -lXwin would > > break. > > Let me count the number of things linked to libXwin.a: > ummm... that would be > XWin.exe only. :) For us! what about 3rd party makefiles?! > Robert Collins wrote: > > Not really an issue IMO.

Cygwin/XFree86 is the project name at the moment and it covers all the issues you are discussing. Or perhaps I simply do not understand _what_ you are talking about that has the name _xwin_!

It's in CVS with a history now. Changing it without good reason will make getting long term views of the changes difficult. This is a _source tree_. Tell me why ibm is ok in that list - that's a trademark I believe. What about sun - isn't that another trademark. As a source tree it's really irrelevant - no end users will see it. Likewise I assume that the libxwin.a is a convenience never shown to the end user? You my reasons for not changing it are 1) no legal issues that we know of (unless a laywer is willing to comment). 2) CVS revision history will be lost. 3) cosmetic change only, no end user involvement.

How did you start it? There are two startxwin.bats and which one gets installed depends on installation sequence of XWin and XClients.

Anything deep inside the XWin code will have to be answered by the two gurus - Sidiqqi and Hunt. Stay tuned for their authoritative answers.

I've been able to build a shared memory version of libXext and therefore also I've now been able to compile the enlightenment window manager and Eterm. Very nice! I got CygIPC from http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/v1.1/cygipc You have to do a little hacking on enlightenment & Eterm to build properly too. There's also a small patch to the cygwin.cf and one to X11/Font.c (looks like it was older cygipc.h support). Attached below. So when building X, all you need to put in your xc/config/cf/host.def is #define UseCygIPC YES and you'll get a shared memory version of X. Alan.

For now, people who need ipc/shm support will need to go get cygipc and build X themselves. The patch makes it easy for us to turn it on/off. How long do you think before in-cygwin IPC hits maturity ? As with X maturing rapidly on Windows people will start needing it, and thus the only option currently is cygipc. Alan.

The tasks needed are * Egors daemon needs to be integrated into cygwin * We have to add ipc object support to the daemon * implement msg queues (we have shm, and semaphores are essentially a freebie from windows as is shm). At this point there's not really enough together to farm out the coding to folk with more time - other than shm and egors work it's all theory ;] Once we've got the framework going though perhaps someone from here would like to jump and help cross-check the code to ensure it works welll with xfree86?

I want to run DDD and NEDIT from the X windows environment. My only problem now is trying to map the CTRL and ALT keys so I can use these programs without recourse to the mouse all the time, mapping the other keys that are different is less important. The keyboard type is for UK. I've trawled through the mail archives (Q1 2001) and FAQ and noticed a thread around Jan 02 2001 discussing this problem although I couldn't see a particular fix. I have tried in an X-server window: xmodmap -pke > xmodmap.en and then restarting XWin with extra flags -xkbmap xmodmap.en but there is an error in calling the file, not sure if this is the right way to go though, is there anybody who's seen this and fixed it, I would appreciate your help.

In fact, I have tried the command before, and then after, the start XWin ... command, but it fails in the same way. Another interesting thing, if I enter the command at a command prompt, the following happens: C:\>xhost + xhost: unable to open display "192.168.152.99:0.0" This happens also when DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0, and also within a cygwin bash window, for either display address.

Suhaib, in this p-thread (pun intended) you told something here that you succeeded in compiling in _basic_ pthread support. Is this true, does this mean the 4.0.3 binaries are _at least a little_ thread-safe now? I'd appreciate that very much because I've got several applications I couldn't build yet because of lack of pthread support in cygwin. Please don't call this 'whining', of course I know I'm supposed to wait until someone has the time to improve this because I don't have a clue of pthreads programming, mutex and all this stuff. But I don't give up the hope. In case the current binaries are _not_ thread-safe, I'll have to build XFree from source, which I don't anticipate so much because it takes loads of time ...
