Soe I can't say anything to arts. kde1 contains a local soundserver (soundserver.exe and maudio.exe) which uses /dev/dsp for output sounds. Because of a /dev/dsp relating bug the current official cygwin 1.3.2 release some remaining points, For the beta 1 release I have replaced this server by a stuff using a simple "cp ... /dev/dsp" command, which works with cygwin 1.3.2. I hope that in the next beta release I can use the full audio support of cygwin.

If the 101.1 is your preferred station and you don't want to have these inteferences, you might to adjust the refresh rate of the monitor (eg. insted off 80Hz ->75Hz). I think this might move the interference to some other frequency :) bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Wed Aug 1 05:53:00 2001 From: Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 05:53:00 -0000 Subject: Xrandr References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505FAA@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > > > Ok, I've done the patch again.

Some exports are in other sections. I found two ways to get the exports to the def file. First is the filter all demangled C++ and type names, which is very insecure since I could only fix the strings I already found in the current export nm-list. Maybe a newer version of binutils will change the names and the filter is broken again. The second way is to not use --demangle and fix the leading underscore with a sed script. This is less insecure, but is still bad since a change in the binary names will break the script again. 1. nm --demangle --defined-only *.o | sed -n 's/^.* [A-Z] //p' | \ sed '/^typeinfo name\|^typeinfo for\|^vtable for\|^constrution \ vtable for\|^VTT\|:\|)/ d' 2. nm --defined-only *.o | sed -n 's/^.* [A-Z] _//p' the [A-Z] names all exported sections eg. code, bss, common, data and much more (see info binutils for the exact meanings) I added the first to the patch. This time a checked that lib and programs compile but have not completely checked runtime of all binaries. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From huntharo@msu.edu Wed Aug 1 09:25:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 09:25:00 -0000 Subject: Display problems with cygwin/xfree and laptop References: <000c01c11a99$70e37d80$f91c440a@BRAMSCHE> Message-ID: Ralf, Yup, that sounds like a case that I didn't even think about handling.

It should start appearing on mirrors within 24 hours, but I have also posted it to my website for those that do not want to wait: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/startup-scripts.tgz (2 KB) Changes 1) Added comments to explain what is going on. 2) Added a simple method of determining whether or not to use the /B switch. The new method assumes that the /B switch cannot be used by default, and only allows its use if the %OS% environment variable is set to "Windows_NT". In all other cases the batch file will not use the /B switch. Thus, there may be a few users on Windows NT/2000 that the batch file misdetects as not supporting /B, but at least there won't be any Windows 95/98/Me users that are incorrectly detected as Windows NT/2000. 3) Removed start commands for optional components (mxterm, vtwm, etc.) 4) Added /usr/X11R6/bin to $PATH in startxwin.sh 5) Copied the line to set the background color from startxwin.sh to startxwin.bat; added the comment, "Set a background color to comply with FCC regulations :)", just for Brian Genisio. 6) Check that /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 exists before trying to change its attributes or delete it. (Prevents two warning messages) 7) Remove the /tmp/.X11-unix directory in the startxwin.sh script to prevent the permission warning. Hopefully this will cut down on the number of questions regarding the startup scripts.

I should note, that this (I guess) could be a generic situation for developers, who uses laptops in the office with an external 19'' monitor or so and are working at home or in the train, beech or anywhere else with the laptop display. On finished working in the office they close the laptop for standy or suspend and later opens the display for resuming without external monitor. Currently they had to restart x and kde or anything else.

No, I can't. However, the ever elusive "somebody else" can. :) When I added Alt+F4 trapping I figured that it would be much better to abstract the key trapping in such a manner that the user could enable/disable default Windows key-combos, or assign them to different combos. Alas, I never got around to doing that, as I hardly use Cygwin/XFree86 on a daily basis, so I never felt the need to implement the feature in question. I'll give input on any questions related to the feature if someone else works on implementing it; however, I do not intend to directly work on implementing this feature. I will add it to the To-Do List if someone does not claim it soon.

I am using the latest cygwin build (1.3.2 DLL version). When I launch xterms, two things don't happen as expected: 1. When xterm spawns tcsh (which is my login shell), it does not set the TERM variable to "xterm"(TERM remains set to cygwin). 2. Whenever I try to exit from the xterm (either by typing "exit", or killing the window using the mouse, or using Alt+F4), the window refuses to disappear, even though the tcsh process seems to have exited. The only way is to either "kill" the xterm process or reset my X server. Any ideas?

This helps us catch all of the warnings/problems that should be fixed to allow this. But alas, I've just compiled Cygwin/XFree86 with and without -ansi and found that with it generates 176 'implicit declaration' warnings whereas without it there's about 12. I'm tempted to remove the '-ansi -pedantic' until someone from the cygwin folk can convince the newlib folk to fix the headers, but I certainly don't have the time to tackle that problem at the moment.

We had been building with -pedantic before we added -ansi. I think it would be a good idea to remove -ansi until the Newlib headers are fixed, as the 176 warnings are just adding noise to the build process. Furthermore, removing -ansi fixes a current bug (the whole hypot issue), whereas leaving -ansi doesn't do much for us...

It's miles away from the clean solution to enable configuration which key is passed to X and which is used in the server, but this one at least works. I've added 4 new options -winkill, -nowinkill, -unixkill and -nounixkill (sorry about those stupid names, but I found no better) winkill means killing XWin by Alt+F4 unixkill means killing XWin by Ctrl+Alt+Backspace (the Xfree for linux way) the default is the current behaviour (Alt+F4 kills, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does nothing). You can also enable all two keys or disable both. BTW: I don'texpect the clean, full configurable solution is needed. Currently we use just a few keys for XWin internals and the may be switched on and off the way I used. If someone needs better configuration, he can modify the code and compile the modified server. This is better than building a huge framework which is unlikely to be used very often and will likely slowdown the server. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sat Aug 4 04:41:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sat, 04 Aug 2001 04:41:00 -0000 Subject: Hi Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505FC5@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> > Hi Alexander, > > With these instructions,what about porting Wine to > cygwin ;-) ?

Well, it solves the problem, so it is good enough. :) I'm build testing it now. I'll submit your patch to XFree86 if it builds and seems to operate, and I'll probably post a new Server Test Series release so that people can poke at it.

That is, they can develop their emulator while using the real thing at the same time. Does this make sense? Of course, to end users there seem to be very few benefits if any.

Giving another number for -screen will only adjust the screen number eg. :0.1 With this scheme you can connect to Xservers which support multiple screens (dual-head or terminal servers) Bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From bogus@does.not.exist.com Sun Aug 5 05:34:00 2001 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2001 05:34:00 -0000 Subject: ÈÃÄãµÄÍøÒ³ÉϵĹã¸æ×Ô¶¯°´±ÈÀýµ¯³ö£¡ Message-ID: <679874e3e9152fd07e3524abfb4d2f79@NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org> ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? http://pctip.51.net/ad From bogus@does.not.exist.com Sun Aug 5 05:39:00 2001 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2001 05:39:00 -0000 Subject: ÈÃÄãµÄÍøÒ³ÉϵĹã¸æ×Ô¶¯°´±ÈÀýµ¯³ö£¡ Message-ID: <64d9a1b6ad6cf148ef48cfdbdf5c83b3@NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org> ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? http://pctip.51.net/ad From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Aug 5 05:42:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2001 05:42:00 -0000 Subject: Spam From Japanese Brain dead Spamers Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2505FCD@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Recently Cygwin and Cygwin-xfree ML had become a convenient target from JAPANESE Spammers.

Since this a english ML, we might reject all messages, that have non-ascii characters (128-255) or set another character encoding (koi8, jis, ibm850...) on the subject line. An english message should not contain this. If it's set, then the message is likely to be not readable by the most readers on the ml. If the message is rejected, a message should be sent to the sender since it might be regular message. The spammers often never read responses to their spam but regular users will read direct responses to their mail.

Even a comment, saying "You must add a screen to the argument list. An example of this is -screen 0 640x480x8" would be helpful. Many Linux users, for instance, use X servers every day, but have never configured a script to start it... it starts before they log in. Even in that case, there is a config file to set... not necessarially a command line interface. Of course, a quick read of the X output with -help will show you how to add a screen, but I believe it should at least be mentioned in the scripts.

It should start appearing on mirrors within 24 hours, but I have also posted it to my website for those that do not want to wait: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/startup-scripts.tgz (2 KB) Changes: 1) Add a -screen parameter to the XWin.exe start line in both startxwin.bat and startxwin.sh. Test39 and later do not need a -screen parameter, but the binary distributed on the Cygwin mirror network is older than Test39. The -screen parameter will be removed when the default binary is newer than Test39.

Plese read more about X first This is definately not for all Xserver. For example on linux the resolution is given in the XF86Config and you can start an Xserver with display :1 just with the command 'X :1'. If several resolutions are given it even possible to switch between the different resolutions with Ctrl_Alt_+ and Ctrl_Alt_-.

I have two computers, a Pentium III 500 running Win98 and a 6x86 150 running RedHat 7.1. I'm trying to XDMCP using Cygwin/XFree86 from the Windows machine to the Linux machine over a 100 Mbps LAN. What's happening is that Cygwin/XFree86 is REALLY REALLY slow. It takes around 10 minutes from login to the actual GNOME desktop loading up. When I tried this using the Linux setup that I have on the Windows machine, it worked perfect. Is Cygwin/XFree86 slow or could something be messed up?

Cygwin/XFree86 performance with XDMCP should be the same as with any Linux machine. Your Windows 98 TCP/IP network settings are probably messed up, or the network cable connecting your Windows machine to the hub is bad. I had a bad cable once that worked fine at 10 Mbit/s, but at 100 Mbit/s it caused my samba shares to take about 3 minutes to logon and file transfers were extremely slow. Yet, the switch thought the cable was fine. Long story short, try a new cable, and/or plug in through a different hub.

I apologize for my ignorance if I didn't understand it well, since I'm just a casual user of X. As suggested, either :0 or -screen should be used to run XWin. I tried running XWin with :0 only as argument, but it also exited with "arithmetic exception" error. I also tried with :1, :2 and :3, and none of them work. Again, trial-and-error is my only known way of getting things to work since I don't have in depth knowledge about X.

It's a known issue. Please download either the new startup scripts or the new XWin-Test42.exe from http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow . This fix this one. > Any pointers for solving this.And how exactly to port the unix code to > this platform. cygwin provides a nearly complete unix environment. For example the whole xfree xserver uses a lot of unix functions, but can be compiled with little changes (except the "display driver") with the cygwin unix layer. So my suggestion to you is: Try compiling the program with cygwin and check where (if any) errors occur. Unixcode that was written with portability in mind is likely to compile without problems.

I did test it yesterday and you can leave the display number away and then it will default to number zero. On my Red Hat 6.2 installation I did the following as root: % telinit 3 # switch to non GUI mode % X and the Xserver fired up without any problems. Like you said I also did some reading of the man page of Xserver on SUNOS 5.6, HPUX 10.20 and linux. And they seem to take a default diplay number of zero if no number is given.

Did you do on RedHat 6.2 ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/X ? That might give you more information about display. Anyway, This thread is off topic ML and off ML, please.

I have installed the latest Cygwin (GNU bash, version 2.05.0(6)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)) and Cygwin-XFree86 (from xc-4-binaries/4.1.0). I use startxwin.sh to start the server. I am able to ssh into the remote machine (telnet is disabled) and can start a remote xterm session with no problem. When I try to start a remote emacs session from the remote xterm session (or directly from the local xterm session) the server crashes and I get the following dump: Fatal server error: negative sized edge? xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0" X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Anyone who is a mailing list moderator can do this. Hmm. Maybe this is just the standard message. I didn't remember seeing the Eudora comments before so I thought the message had been customized.

It is highly likely that the missing prototype for hypot, when building with -ansi, causes the error, as hypot is called from two files in the xc/lib/font/Type1/ directory. It is likely that, as Alan had speculated, a hypotenuse is being incorrectly calculated or stored, while the error doesn't show up until the ChangeDirection () function is called.

The XSETROOT window shows a "Syntax error". The XWin window shows "/tmp/.... should be set to root" and closes automatically. There are also Xterm and twm windows show some error message and close.

Problems with auto-detection of the network media often show like this, and the base problem can be interframe gaps, duplexing, or other link specific parameters. If changing the cable doesn't help things, _manually_ set the network card parameters in windows to what the linux install is using, or if that is also autodetect, to the lowest common factor of the hub and the network card. i.e. if it's a 100Mb Hub, set the card to 100Mb half duplex.

When trying to run XWin.exe on my notebook to connect via XDMCP to any XDM server in the LAN, I have no problems as long as the notebook is connected via it's Xircom PCMCIA card. But as soon as I plug it into the docking station, the other builtin NIC (3Com 905C compatible) is used and the same command line does not work any longer - no connection is established. To drill the problem down I used the -from option and suddenly it worked. Apparently XWin.exe tries to connect via the unused Xircom PCMCIA NIC, even if the notebook uses the other NIC. Since I receive my IP adress via DHCP, the above solution will not work generally, due to the fact that the IP number changes each time I log on, so I need to edit the command line. Is there a solution to this problem, which enables me to connect via the correct interface, whether the notebook is using the PCMCIA or the builtin NIC without the need to change the startxwin.bat each time I log in?

Cygwin/XFree86 takes a guess as to which network card's address to use when doing XDMCP, and in your case it is guessing wrong. One possible solution is to just use your hostname on the 3COM network, rather than the ip address. You could write a startup script that pulls the IP address for a particular card (by looking for the MAC address) from the 'ipconfig' (or some other utility if you don't have Windows NT/2000) program using a regular expression passed to 'grep'. However, you'll be on your own writing such a script, as it is way beyond the scope of this mailing list.

I'm running Windows 98 and had to make lots of changes. Here is what I did: Line 8-10 was: ----------- attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix Changed to: --------- if not exist \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto nofifo attrib -s \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 :nofifo if exist \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir \cygwin\tmp\.X11-unix I took out all the "REM"d commands to make it easier to read, although they are good examples to keep around for postarity. Line 24 was: --------- start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 \ -engine 4 Changed to: --------- start XWin -screen 0 1024 768 -depth 16 -engine 4 -emulate3buttons I learned that the /B option on "start" doesn't exist. I tried /m but the program doesn't run after it has been lowered. So, I had to suffer with the windows popping up and then having to hand lower them when X was up. Lines 27 on were: ------------- start /B rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-12" -e bash start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black \ -e /usr/bin/bash ...and so on Changed to: --------- start xterm -geometry +100+100 -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg \ yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i start xterm -geometry +200+200 -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg \ yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i start twm @echo on I hope this helps those that have been having problems.

I have posted the information as requested. For your information there are a number of further problems with CDE/Xfree in that it manages to crash Xfree quite easily, I haven't got an extensive list but the main ones I have found so far are: 1. Using the desktop terminal window (dtterm). Click on the options menu item and Xfree will bomb out with a stackdump. - resolution: don't click it. 2. Create a new user account and when you login by default the application solregis is started. It appears that this also bombs xfree with a stackdump. - resolution: login locally on the Solaris server after account creation and complete the registration before you start using Xfree with the account. I don't really know who's bugs these are but they should not really cause a crash in Xfree, maybe some warnings but not a full on crash. Let me know if you have any interest in this area and I can provide more information.

If it won't work, you can get at lease a german modmap from http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree . There is a archive with modmaps for various countries which redhat ships with their linux. Maybe there is also a swiss one. You may also export the modmap from your linux pc. call "xmodmap -pke".

Well, I don't generally have access to Solaris for testing, but if you built a debug version of Cygwin/XFree86, and ran it via gdb, you could give us much more detailed information about the crashes that might enable us to actually fix some of them. Instructions for building a debug version of Cygwin/XFree86 are in the Contributor's Guide: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/cg/ On a side note, have you installed and tested the Test42 server?

Do not use Disk 1 to install... it will certianly wipe out every partition without even telling you. Instead use Disk 4 (I think it is named tools or something like that) and use manual installation. Long time ago, I found a document on Internet which helped get around this mess. I do not know why RedHat starting from RedHat 5.2 labeled their swap partition as x86. Although I raised this question on Red Hat Beta Team mailing list once but never got a response. The trick was to delete the Linux swap partition, install Solaris, then later manually create Linux swap partition. The upcoming RH 7.2 release will have a loader Grub, which is excellent to install multiple OS on one PC.

Yeah, I said to change the cable. Now do it > and let me know what happens. Another possibility, is that the linux driver is utilising the network efficiently, and the windows driver isn't. Problems with auto-detection of the network media often show like this, and the base problem can be interframe gaps, duplexing, or other link specific parameters. If changing the cable doesn't help things, _manually_ set the network card parameters in windows to what the linux install is using, or if that is also autodetect, to the lowest common factor of the hub and the network card. i.e. if it's a 100Mb Hub, set the card to 100Mb half duplex.

Maybe configuring with --with-x11 helps. If not, please check the output of configure. I expect an output line like "checking for X11... not found". The next step is to check config.log for te exact reason why the libraries are not used. Search in config.log for "X11". Maybe this will yive you a hint. Otherwise you will have to modify the makefiles. If you do this, please edit the Makefile.in, since every configure run will recreate the makefiles form Makefile.in and all changes to Makefile are lost. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From cedric.bompart@morse.com Thu Aug 9 02:58:00 2001 From: cedric.bompart@morse.com (Cedric Bompart) Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 02:58:00 -0000 Subject: mxterm & termcap Message-ID: <29C84CF25D03D5119FCF009027B67B5A8B5F18@EXCHANGE1> Hi, I compiled the mxterm in the contrib directory.

I have two main issues, that I can't find simple resolutions for: 1. My keyboard acts as a US keyboard - I would like to change it to a UK keyboard. Do I just use xmodmap, or is there a better way? 2. My xterm sessions don't close properly and I have to kill them with 'kill -9'. This is particularly annoying as it appears that xterm is hardcoded as the terminal emulator in xfce. I could put a symbolic link to mxterm in my path, but could this cause any problems? Also, the mxterm menus (accessed with control-left/right/middle-click) don't behave very well - I need to release control for the left-click menu and release control then left-click (while holding down right-click) for the middle button menu. The right-button menu doesn't seem to work properly at all - I seem to be able to toggle each font independently. Searching for mxterm on Google brings up a selection of links but no obvious central repository for mxterm code, so I'm not even sure _which_mxterm I have (I got it from http://sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/contrib /). I'm researching the mxterm quandry, but I'm happy to get a working xterm anyhow. I don't have any experience of compiling for cygwin, but I'm happy to give it a go if necessary.

But xterm is not hard coded in source code. under var/xfce you will find various configuration files which you can edit with vi. Replace the xterm with mxterm in one of those files.

You made the statement: NO. you can have a blank site.def file, but do not copy cygwin.cf to site.def or host.def You will create duplicates and as a result big compilation mess. If I have a blank site.def, how does "make World" work? I've looked at the FAQ's secton on the xfree-cygwin site and it says to go into the xwin directory and type the command "make Makefile". I perform this and nothing appears to happen. Next it says to go into the /xc directory and type make XWin.exe. When I do this the makefile tells me there's no rule to make XWin.exe.

You have to build the whole tree first, as that builds all the headers and libraries. Then, and only then, can you build XWin.exe (which is built when you build the whole tree). Once you've built the entire tree, you can rebuild XWin.exe by: 1) cd xc/programs/Xserver 2) make XWin.exe Harold From charlie_fallon@vibren.com Thu Aug 9 07:04:00 2001 From: charlie_fallon@vibren.com (Fallon, Charlie) Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 07:04:00 -0000 Subject: How do you build XWin.exe from the XFree86 source tree?

The answer to that question is simple: they are your bugs. You are the only one that has encountered them, so you own them. I don't know that these are bugs, rather, there is likely something else going on with your systems. For example, you might have more than one copy of cygwin1.dll on your system, you may have mixed and matched the Cygwin/XFree86 binaries, or you may have a really strange Solaris configuration. In any case, we can't help you until you figure out what is going on.

I used Web Start the first time. Everything went fine until I realized that my root partion was too small to install anything from the Companion Disc (emacs, gcc, etc.). On Linux, when using ReiserFS, I just make the root partition use the entire disk. Is Solaris's UFS a journaling file system? If so, can you see any reason why I shouldn't make one huge partition?

Well sorry my mistake Yes it is in libX11.a, but still you need to figure out why is it not being resolved and most probably fix your code. libX11.a:ds00202.o:00000000 T _XGetModifierMapping libX11.a:ds00202.o:00000000 I __imp__XGetModifierMapping libXt.a:TMkey.o: U _XGetModifierMapping You can also try adding -lXt to linker, but I do not think it will help.

The answer to that question is simple: they are your bugs. You are the only one that has encountered them, so you own them. I don't know that these are bugs, rather, there is likely something else going on with your systems. For example, you might have more than one copy of cygwin1.dll on your system, you may have mixed and matched the Cygwin/XFree86 binaries, or you may have a really strange Solaris configuration. In any case, we can't help you until you figure out what is going on.

The .xinitrc file comes from a suse linux system, the .xserverrc file I have created for my own, caused by the my demands. For the next kde beta, I'm looking for a standard way to handle such things, which don't clashes with other x11 desktops on cygwin. For this I have two questions: 1.

I had about 20 user accounts on the Solaris box that crashed XWin with a stackdump and only my account that did not, so I have copied my dt files to another user account and it all works fine. Next steps - work out which settings cause the problem and debug the crash.

It is not supported by Cygwin therefore one of the utility from xc/programs is not compiled and distributed with Cygwin/Xfree86. The unofficial word, you can take nl_type.h file from Linux and hack it little bit. It will work. I have done it before for an X application, but something which is officially not supported by Cygwin/Xfree86, I would prefer not to distribute my hacked header etc. Suhaib From magnetic_ganesh@hotmail.com Fri Aug 10 18:57:00 2001 From: magnetic_ganesh@hotmail.com (magnetic ganesh.)

XFM is not distributed with XFree86. You'll have to download the source and compile it yourself. You'll also have to assume responsibility for any bugs that you want fixed or features that you want implemented.

This is a windowmanager option. For fvwm2 (on linux) I used Alt-Tab to to cycle windows. The setting for this is AddToFunc switchNext + "I" Next [!Iconic !Sticky] WarpToWindow 100 100 + "I" Next [!Iconic !Sticky] Focus + "I" Current [Iconic] Iconify + "I" Current [*] Raise + "I" Current [*] WarpToWindow 0 0 + "I" Current [*] WarpToWindow 50 50 Key Tab A M Function switchNext you can use a lot of other combinations eg.

I really do not want to argue and I tried to find the Info myself and would be very happy if somebody would be so kind and give me a good hint!

In linux for example the prefered way to start an X11 windowmanager (and the relating desktop) is setting the environment var WINDOWMANAGER to the relating start script and call startx to start the wm. In cygwin the default way seems to use startxwin.bat, but as I have seen last this isn't compatible with the startx procedure. Additional on watching the cygwin-xfree mailing list I see that more and more wms are available for cygwin/xfree86, so a standard for this especially in conjunction with the coming rpm installer, seems to me as a necessary condition. A proposal from my side is to use an existing standard like the startx with a standard .xinitrc and to choose the wm with the env var WINDOWMANAGER. This can be used bx startxwin too, perhaps as commandline parameter or with the WINDOWMANAGER var too. What do you think about this ?

References: <000301c1231a$5c32cec0$cf5e07d5@BRAMSCHE> Message-ID: Ralf, It doesn't matter to me. As I have mentioned, I am a horrible X user, so I don't even know what the correct method of starting a window manager would be. As always, just send in the new scripts and I'll commit them if they work. Otherwise, we're just talking :) Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com > [ mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of Ralf Habacker > Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2001 6:34 AM > To: Cygwin-Xfree > Subject: RE: default start procedure for cygwin xfree apps/desktops > available ? > > > > -----Urspr????ngliche Nachricht----- > > Von: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com > > [ mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com]Im Auftrag von Suhaib > > Siddiqi > > Gesendet am: Freitag, 10.

As Suhaib has pointed out, I was referring to the cygwin FAQ, not the cygwin-xfree FAQ. >So, why don't you just send me the link of the FAQ you looked through >or the good search terms for a google querrie? The FAQ is the one referenced at the cygwin site: http://cygwin.com/ . >You seem to be very familiar with this topic and angry about the same >question arising a thousand times. Not angry. Not interested in wasting a lot of words on something that should be pretty easy to find. >(Which in fact means it is a important question in a way) Hmm. You should read the archives. >I am not looking for the parts of the cygwin-xfree port to download which is >explained well in the users guide. I am looking for the necessary parts >of the cygwin software wich must be installed before cygwin-xfree. > >For example I don't need gcc or flex or bison ... to run the precomiled >binaries of xfree. Then, don't download them. If you understand that much, you're on the way. Why don't you just experiment with what you need. Everybody's need is different. Do you need man pages? No? Then there's a bug chunk of disk space that you don't have to worry about. Anyway, I did not actually do the google search when I sent this email. I try to teach fishing rather than hand people old fish. Since you asked, I typed in the terms "minimal cygwin". I was actually surprised to find out that there is a sourceforge project devoted to this. There is also a web site. I don't know how up to date either is. I'd stick with the email discussions. It's a shame that people seek to start their own projects rather than contributing to the core. I really don't understand why someone would start a separate project rather than contributing code to cygwin's setup utility. I can only assume that some people are into it for their own self-aggrandizement. We seem to have more of that in the cygwin project than in other projects, for some reason. >I really do not want to argue and I tried to find the Info myself and would >be very happy if somebody would be so kind and give me a good hint! If you want to narrow down the search term to only what is mentioned at cygwin.com, type "minimal cygwin site:cygwin.com". cgf From Ralf.Habacker@freenet.de Sun Aug 12 13:17:00 2001 From: Ralf.Habacker@freenet.de (Ralf Habacker) Date: Sun, 12 Aug 2001 13:17:00 -0000 Subject: kde under win98 Message-ID: <000401c1236c$63aa7480$cf5e07d5@BRAMSCHE> > -----Urspr????ngliche Nachricht----- > Von: santisteban@ozemail.com.au [ mailto:santisteban@ozemail.com.au ] > Gesendet am: Sonntag, 12.

We need someone to debug the cause of the infinite loop. Note: We've seen a problem similar to this before that was caused by a race condition in Cygwin's pty code. A good check for whether this is another pty problem would be to compile rxvt and mxterm on a system with the most recent Cygwin release (not snapshot) and see if rxvt and mxterm exhibit the same problem as xterm. Or, someone with an older Cygwin installation could compile xterm and see if they do not have the problem. For more information on the previous pty race, see: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg00094.html Assuming that a race in Cygwin's pty code is ruled out, the next step would be to look at the UTF-8 functions in xterm and Xlib that were added to the Cygwin/XFree86 build recently. We did not previously have those functions, so they may be the culprit.

Most windowmanagers check for events when clicking on the background and popup menus or something. These clicks must either be caught and discarded or you'll see a GDI window, click on it and the window manager pops up a menu or something. This is not what you want. I also expect some strange behaviour if you see the GDI windows and have in fact another window above it. How will you make sure, the other window will safely redraw? I'm using the Foxus-follows-mouse option from tweakui. This works well if the windows are managed by windows. If you add another management for windows below the XWin window, you will have to look into this issue too, otherwise the usage of Windows will be completely strange. These are just some issues, but I expect there are some more which we never thought of. I expect that the development will become a "Find odd behavoir and build a workaround". This will create a huge xserver, which is glued together and will break every two weeks. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From flognat@flognat.myip.org Tue Aug 14 02:39:00 2001 From: flognat@flognat.myip.org (Andrew Markebo) Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 02:39:00 -0000 Subject: Multiple Windows References: Message-ID: / Alexander Gottwald wrote: | On Tue, 14 Aug 2001 Pavel.Rybnicek@intax.cz wrote: | | > | > Hi Suhaib and Harold | > I find (optional) disabling of background useable, so if it is possible to | > do it without some large changes to the code, it could be good feature. | > I see (and understand :) that the second case is much harder. | > | | Disabling the background will cause a lot of problems.

Reflection X does this quite > fine.. Meanwhile for the future :-) This has been mentioned by Harold months ago. But writing such a window manager is a very complex task. Most important, only few people are familar with the windowmanager specs. So the first thing would be to read the wm specs and think about what is possible and how. But we don't have the time. Maybe someone of those who requested this feature but are not programmers will read the specs and give an short excerpt. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Tue Aug 14 03:46:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 03:46:00 -0000 Subject: xfree on W2K crash running gvim on RH7.1 Remote box Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C2506054@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Reading the mail URL at http://xfree86.cygwin.com SHOULD have given an answer that negative edge error had been fixed.

Maybe I like the Ok, good point. But this is possible (at least with Tweakui and XMouse). While I write these lines in an xterm, another cmd-window is above XWin and I can scan the output. > desktop background I have.. :-) Why not setting it in X :-) Have you ever taken a screenshot from your desktop with windows and used it as background? This is a good test. You will notice that you click every 5 minutes on one of these fake windows. The same will happen, when the X background is not visible. And only expect all the questions to the ml: "I can't select the window under the XWin display!". Ok, if it's not that difficult to disable the background, we can add a switch to disable the background.

I was able to X into all 3 of my Solaris boxes using CDE without a glitch. I'm still working on the Java (WebStart) testing, as I have about 8 more packages to install on my Solaris 8 (Sparc) box. I will keep you updated if any problems arise during these installations. One more note... On SOME (emphasis on some - as in it's random, but does occur fairly requently) of the client machines running Test 42, I get about a 1 inch section at the top of the X desktop that will not repaint properly.

Currently, ComplexProgramTarget_1 does this with: AllTarget($(PROGRAM1) $(PROGRAM2) $(PROGRAM3)) PROGRAM2 and PROGRAM3 are defined by ComplexProgramTarget_2 and _3 as ProgramTargetName(program), which appends .exe to the program target name. However, PROGRAM2 and PROGRAM3 are not defined until the ComplexProgramTarget_2 and _3 rules are processed; the end effect is that program 2 and program 3 are not built until the 'install' phase of make, rather than during the 'World' phase, as on all other platforms. I'd like to fix the ComplexProgramTarget rules, if for no other reason than to learn a little about Imake and awk. The approach I see to fixing the problem goes like this: 1) Break up the PROGRAMS variable (e.g. 'xclipboard, xcutsel') 2) Append .exe to each program name in the PROGRAMS variable (e.g. 'xclipboard.exe xcutsel.exe') 3) Store the doctored program names in a PROGRAMS_EXE variable 4) Change the all:: dependency to AllTarget($(PROGRAMS_EXE)) I can do steps 1, 2, and 4, but I do not know how to get the output of awk back into an Imake variable. Here's the command I've got in ComplexProgramTarget_1 to output the doctored PROGRAM data to the console during the build: all:: @@\ echo $(PROGRAMS) | awk '{i = 1; while ($$i != "") {printf ("%s.exe ", $$i); ++i;}}' @@\ I'm stuck at that point. I'm open to an entirely different approach, but I'd also like to know how to get the output of that command into an Imake variable, for future reference.

A1. Run netstat and count the connections to local port 6000. netstat | grep " *TCP *[^:]*:6000" | wc --lines will give you an count of the connections to the xserver. The number of open files may be larger, but not too much. > > Q2. What other information is needed to provide a complete picture of the > > problem to help find a resolution? A2. Set the maximum number of open files for a program to a higher value. Run "ulimit -n 1024" from a bash und start XWin from this bash. This will set the maximum number of open connections to 1024.

I've noticed this problem. What do you mean with PROGRAM2 and PROGRAM3 are not defined. ComplexProgramTarget_2 is an imake rule and will be substituted by the programname. If you have ComplexProgramTarget_2 still in the Makefile (not the Imakefile) than it's more worse, since ComplexProgramTarget_2 is not defined. > > I'd like to fix the ComplexProgramTarget rules, if for no other reason than > to learn a little about Imake and awk.

Imake is just a wrapper to cpp and afaik, you can't shell out of cpp. Tonight I will take a look on the Imakefiles. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk Thu Aug 16 01:24:00 2001 From: alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk (Alan Hourihane) Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 01:24:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 44 References: Message-ID: <20010816092454.C851@valinux.com> On Thu, Aug 16, 2001 at 09:07:07AM +0200, Alexander Gottwald wrote: > On Wed, 15 Aug 2001, Harold Hunt wrote: > > > > > 1) Bump the client connection limit from 32 to 1024 by passing the > > square of getdtablesize () to setdtablesize ().

I've committed an alternative patch that uses MAXSOCKS (which is already the fallback case). MAXSOCKS eventually gets defined as 256. If this still isn't enough, then someone can add some extra code to osdep.h to cater for the value of OPEN_MAX. Alan.

(Harold Hunt) Interesting enough this isn't even necessary. If the default size of the dtable isn't enough, it's automatically reallocated if a process requires more open file descriptors. Maybe it's not ok in Cygwin that getdtablesize() and sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) return the current size of the dtable. Perhaps they should return NOFILE or OPEN_MAX as it's already noted in a comment in the sysconf() source.

The Makefile looks like this, with extraneous bits removed: PROGRAM1 = xclipboard.exe all:: $(PROGRAM1) $(PROGRAM2) $(PROGRAM3) { PROGRAM1 build rules } install:: xclipboard.exe PROGRAM2 = xcutsel.exe { PROGRAM2 build rules } install:: xcutsel.exe Running 'make' will only generate xclipboard.exe. Try it. Running 'make install' will generate xcutsel.exe as well. I meant that PROGRAM2 is not defined at the point that make reads the 'all' dependency list, so PROGRAM2 (xcutsel.exe) is not in the 'all' dependency list.

I just checked in a fix for that. Cygwin 1.3.3 will define OPEN_MAX as 256 in limits.h. The functions getdtablesize(), sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE) will return OPEN_MAX when the current dtable size is less than OPEN_MAX or the current dtable size otherwise.

I have downloaded the xfree 4.1.0 archives on August 1 and tried to install it with Xinstall.sh like described in the cygwin-xfree user guide. On installation and later running I have found some problems: 1. Installing XInstall.sh breaks with a syntax error in line 1246 near then if [ X"$VARDIST" != X ]; then Editing this file with vi and reentering a new line makes in working. After dowloading the newest Xinstall.sh the problem stays. 1. Starting xfree with startxwin95.bat opens for any started app like Xwin, xterm and twm an additional dos box. Is it normal ? 4. Very slow performance - Starting xfree with startxwin9x.bat needs several minutes to get running xterm. - Doing a ls -l /bin with a full installed cygwin needs one minutes to show all the files. - Starting kde needs about 5 minutes and at least kwm hangs. 5. XWin hangs Sometimes Xwin crashes. After some tries startxwin9x.bat hangs immediately. 6. Clicking on the server background shows no text (perhaps a font missing, I have installed only the basic font archive with Xinstall.sh) After the first tests I tried a xfree 4.0.3 release which I have used for with kde 1.1.2 under Windows 2000/NT with the same results. This problems seems undepended from the cygwin release, because I have tried this under cygwin 1.1.8 and a patched cygwin 1.3.2 release (relating socket problems). My configuration is: Pentium II 233 MHz 64 MB RAM Riva TNT2 Graphiccard Windows95 C Release Has anyone some hints for this ?

The purpose is to try an use as few modified rules for Cygwin as possible. By fixing ComplexProgramTarget_1 we can fall back on the default rules for _2 through _10, which saves a lot of clutter in cygwin.rules and reduces the number of rules that must be maintained. I can't remember for sure, but there may have been another reason as well... I'll have to try to dig it up again.

I don't use the fullscreen option.

Thanks Alan, I forgot to check that. It works fine for engine 1 while engine 2 and 4 (the DirectDraw stuff) result in that ugly twitching.

So identify, where the win 95 problems belongs to, I have installed an exceed X-Server (V5.1.1) and tried to run kde with the xlibs taken from xfree 4.1.0. 1. Starting kde is about 3 times faster as with the xfree86 4.1.0 server and the apps have good performance. 2. The KDE window Manager (kwm) hangs too when using exceed in single window mode. Because this happens although with the xfree server, this might be a kwm or cygwin problem. 3. In exceed multiple window mode mostly apps runs, that means the xlib works. As summary I think the problems are related to the xfree x-server (1) and in kwm or cygwin (2). BTW: While testing kde with exceed on Win2K I recognized that the exceed server seems to be more than 2 times faster as xfree. (x11perf say it) Application starting is although faster. Any ideas ?

Not really is has only basic X11 protocols, and even that is not complete. Beside Xserver needs to link your to xdmcp.lib and a couple of other libs and ntxlib has none of those protocols from those libraries. If you total all the X protocols, ntxlib has perhaps only 5% of it. If you read Cygwin/Xfree86 thread from 1999 when I started this project, this was discussed several times. All I can say GOOD LUCK to you, if you intend spend a couple fo years on completing ntxlib which can be of some use beside rxvt only.

You literally compile all the X clients on Windows using it and run them as native Win32 application. Did you look into Peter Busch Dlls, which are in drivers directory?

You literally compile all the X > clients on Windows using it and run them as native Win32 application. I think you misunderstood me. All I'm talking about doing is finishing the Native GDI engine in the current Cygiwn/XFree86 server, which translates X graphics calls into Win32 GDI graphics calls. ntxlib has a lot of the functions implemented, such as XDrawString, XFillRectangle, XClearArea, XDrawArc, XFillArc, and XDrawLine. ntxlib also has a function called NT_set_rop that converts X raster operations into GDI raster operations, such as converting GXorInverted to R2_MERGENOTPEN. > Did you look into Peter Busch Dlls, which are in drivers directory? I can > send you his server code which does multiple Windows, but is very buggy. I spent about a month or two working with the code that you are referring to. There never was much there, and that development direction is dead, as it required inserting a fake video driver into Windows to expose the framebuffer. I'm sure that any windowing code was a hack, so I don't think it'll be of much worth to even look at it again... Sorry, I was not impressed by what I saw in that source code...

Actually, I'm sure it is possible to speed up cygwin if anyone was actually interested in doing some basic profiling on Windows 9x. There are probably some places where we could optimize things. The basic problem with cygwin is that it is apparently 100% a user project. People will report bugs but very very few people are interested in tracking the bugs down. Even on the cygwin-developers mailing list, it is unusual for people to do more than say "I just noticed that the current CVS doesn't work." I've seen people report the 'sl' problem, or, rather I did, a year or so ago. I have never seen this myself, though. Since I haven't seen anyone complain about this in the cygwin mailing list for a long time I wonder if it is actually somehow fixed. Well, that was the cgf rant, 101. It's refreshing to do it in another mailing list. One thing that may speed things up is to mount your directories which contain executables with the '-X' option. This lets cygwin know that everything in the directory is a cygwin executable, short circuiting the hated '#!' testing that slows down disk I/O. Even mounting directories that *don't* contain executables with this option will speed things up in many cases. cgf From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sat Aug 18 02:01:00 2001 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Corinna Vinschen) Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2001 02:01:00 -0000 Subject: Twitching server References: <20010817091844.B14377@cygbert.vinschen.de> <20010817085642.C850@valinux.com> <20010817110726.C17093@cygbert.vinschen.de> Message-ID: <20010818110119.A536@cygbert.vinschen.de> On Fri, Aug 17, 2001 at 11:07:26AM +0200, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > On Fri, Aug 17, 2001 at 08:56:42AM +0100, Alan Hourihane wrote: > > On Fri, Aug 17, 2001 at 09:18:44AM +0200, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I don't know if anybody else has the same problem.

I am not sure what is going on. If you follow the instructions as mentioned in User's Guide you should be up and running. By the way, do you have some sort of weird Administrative privileges set on your Windows 2000. That is the only reason I can think of... in those kinds of cases Windows loves to give you goofy error messages... Try logining in as Administrator and see if you can execute using Admin account. If that works then you need to investigate the privileges issue at your workstation.

Message-ID: After some serious work, I finally have cygwin, XFree and GRASS running under Windows 2000 from the latest binary distributions. Thanks for all the great tips in the newsgroups. So now I have this problem. I am running (I hope completely) the snapshot from Aug 13th - cygwin, XFree 4.1.0 (the latest downloadable) and Grass 5.0 (latest beta) - all under Windows 2000, again the latest and greatest - I can't find any more updates. Almost everything works, including the TCL menu system. GRASS uses a command "d.mon" to open a graphical 'terminal' to display or 'monitor' changes in the GIS coverage. When I try to start the monitor, I get this message "_XIO: Fatal IO Error 108 (The descriptor is a file not a socket) on Xserver " I saw something on the CYGWIN-XFREE list from Paul Gresham - a patched dll. It's huge and didn't fix the problem. I know it's related to a Winsock 2.0 call according to information from Corinna Vinschen. Does anyone have a true fix, or know where I can find one? Failing that - who wants a tester? I am afraid my C/C++ is rusty and it's been a long time since I even played in that world - but when it comes to Windows and debugging things, I am no slouch. Yes, I am running a firewall. No, it makes no difference if it is running or not. I checked for duplicate cygwin1.dll's and have been tracking each one I update, with no difference. If there is a FAQ item that covers this, please point me to it. Thanks for your help.

This is fixed (worked around) in the Grass CVS - you probably should download the source and rebuild the XDriver and libgis.a. I can also send you the latest binaries if you want them for these two.

If you could debug and tells us what is in XFRee86 causing this problem, then most probably it will be fixed. Until then it is considered GRASS issue.

There were often questions to the ml, what components of xfree are needed. But no one build a minimal package. If you only want to use xwin as xdm login screen, then you only need Xwin.exe and the cygz.dll. You can use the fonts from your linux machine by setting up a fontserver. This was also discussed on the ml. So you might want to check the Mailinglist archives. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk Mon Aug 20 05:45:00 2001 From: alanh@fairlite.demon.co.uk (Alan Hourihane) Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 05:45:00 -0000 Subject: xserver hangs on Win2k with some x11perf tests References: <001701c12971$0bef7410$651c440a@BRAMSCHE> Message-ID: <20010820134812.E866@valinux.com> Ralf, You could do with getting a later snapshot, and re-report if you've still got problems.

I have used a font server as suggested. The dos command is nothing more than: C:\FreeXWin\XWin.exe -screen 0 800x600x16 -broadcast -fp tcp/192.168.0.2:7100 This works fine on a system that has had cygwin installed and then removed, provided I leave c:\cygwin\tmp as an empty directory. Presumably it gets this location from the windows registry from the initial installation of cygwin. How does one tell the cygwin dll what directory to use for tmp if cygwin has never actually been installed? (ie, preferably from a batch file / environment variable etc) Or am I required to do a minimal cygwin install? Cheers, Rasjid.

The following program demonstrates this: #include int main() { if (fork() == 0) { setsid(); execlp("xterm", "xterm", NULL); } } When run this generates the above error (assuming the X11R6 bin directory is in your path). If you remove the call to setsid() then xterm starts. This looks like a bug in the xterm code, as I don't see why it should need to inherit a controlling tty, but maybe someone can enlighten me here.

They are thinking about using a type of rpm installer and as I know, they will integrate the mirroring and proxy functionality into. Currently they are using a nativ windows setup tool with mirror and proxy functionality. Initiation of this is caused by big cygwin packages, like xfree, kde for cygwin and other graphical gui port, which needs some dependency checking of basic libs and post installation and/pre deinstalling tasks. On the cygwin side there are several concepts: One guy has published a proof of concept under http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-07/msg00074.html One thread talks about an installer for cygwin/xfree http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2001-07/msg00064.html What about coming together and thinking about one tool for this all ? I think this could be a unique chance to build something important and to use resources effiently, because many preparing works is already done by many people (I think about rpm, cygwin installer with mirroring and proxy support and other) and many people would contribute many ideas and programming and testing and so on. Additional this could be a chance to bring together the unix and the window world. :-) Ralf Habacker KDE on cygwin http://kde-cygwin-sourceforge.net From rcobb@ga.prestige.net Tue Aug 21 07:07:00 2001 From: rcobb@ga.prestige.net (Randal Cobb) Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 07:07:00 -0000 Subject: Off subject question about DT manager...

I have a Norwegian keyboard, but XFree86 behaves as if the keyboard has a US layout. Since there is no XF86Config file on cygwin-xfree, I can't do an XKbLayout setting. On linux this setting is today usually inherited from the loadkeys setting, but there doesn't seem to be a loadkeys program on cygwin. Is cygwin and/or cygwin-xfree86 supposed to pick up the keyboard setting from Windows? If, so, it doesn't (there's an icon with the text "NO" sitting at the lower right of my task bar, but neither cygwin bash, or X application seems to know my Norwegian keys). I've searched the net, but the only relevant referance I found, was to www.gotti.org. However this site describes using xmodmap to change the keyboard layout, as far as I can tell. And that seems like a step backward. I've found a Danish keyboard xmodmap file that I can use if this is the only way (I've tried it, and it sort of works. The result is closer than the US layout, at least...:-) ). But I'll use it only if it is the only way. Is it?

I re-installed cygwin from ftp.nas.nasa.gov, and then I downloaded extract.exe.bz2 from there also, this time using an ftp session from my Unix server through the firewall, rather than using http. I also was wondering how people implement starting, etc. I left the startxwin.bat program in /usr/X11R6/bin, and did "Create ShortCut", and then moved that to my Start Menu. I also set the value of "Start in" to C:\, so that my home ends up being "/cygdrive/c", and I can see the whole system.

We modified the server to accept the same keycodes as a linux server did. The xkb solution was a bit buggy and crashed the server, so we just took the modmaps from linux, and now it works :) I never again had the time to verify why sometimes xmodmap works and sometimes not. Another point is that xkb needs the xkb files installed on the server, but since I only use XWin as xdm-terminal, I don't want to spoil too much diskspace. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From Steinar.bang@tandbergtv.com Fri Aug 24 04:54:00 2001 From: Steinar.bang@tandbergtv.com (Bang, Steinar) Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 04:54:00 -0000 Subject: Setting a Norwegian keyboard on cygwin-xfree86 Message-ID: <194F8BB4FDB2D311B4010008C733C77401594D9F@no-mail.oslo.tandbergtv.lan> -- > From: Alexander Gottwald > [ mailto:alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de ] >> But it actually seems to work in spite of >> this message.

I see three things to look at: 1) Update your Cygwin installation. You may have an old version of something that is causing problems. 2) Remove any xc/config/cf/host.def and xc/config/cf/site.def, as they probably contain the unterminated #ifdef conditional. 3) Always start your build completely over in a new directory (using 'lndir') after a failed build, or remove the failed build directory, recreate it, and relink it.

Most of Suhaib's patch 4908 is not needed and should not be applied, as ComplexProgramTarget_2 and _3 use the defaults now, while ComplexProgramTarget_1 uses a new dependency scheme that requires the default rules for _2 through _10. Using the rule versions in said patch will give us a mix of the situations prior to and after the fix for ComplexProgramTarget_1. Also, the only change that 4908 has to ComplexProgramTarget_1 is a change to the comment block that deviates from the standard used throughout the file. Furthermore, there is a #if 0'd new rule, ComplexProgramTargetNoMan, with no comments on why it is #if 0'd.

I don't understand why the problem has cropped up just now. However, in keeping with the spirit of the comment that I wrote for xc/config/cf/cygwin.rules/ProgramTargetName() ( http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/config/cf/cygwin.rules ), it would make sense to wrap the local definition of ProgramTargetName() in cygwin.rules with #if CrossCompiling. I propose the following patch, if it works for you, please commit it.

I have now finished my minimal install and script that starts an XDM client on a Windows machine. Including all the requred components (assuming both a XDM and font server on the linux box) it takes up 5.8MB uncompressed, and 1.9MB compressed in tgz format. See my (very new and rough) homepage for details at http://www.users.bigpond.com/rasjidw/ I guess this is also an appropriate time to find out if there are any formalities in doing this kind of thing. Having just discovered win32-x11, I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time, although my solution is quite a bit smaller. Cheers, Rasjid.

Same for xinit. I didn't understand what you were saying. I did a 'make World' and didn't see any problems, so that's all I did. You were right. There are some targets in xc/config/util/Imakefile/$(PROGRAMS) that are not really programs, and there are one or two targets that are already wrapped with ProgramTargetName() as well. I guess the final solution will involve some slight modifications to xc/config/util/Imakefile to handle those non-program targets (like xmkmf). Of course, I haven't got the time to mess with it, so the current situation is fine by me.

When it's done, there will probably be something like an "XFree86" category that you can select.

Xfree running on W2K box running Gnome off RH7.1 installation on another box. Using XWin-Test44.exe, on Win2K box, and XFree86-4.1.0, and Gnome 1.4 on Linux box. When running Mozilla or Netscape 6.1 off the Linux box with the display on Win2K box with 1600x1200x32 resolution. The graphics get rendered poorly. With blocks of the image in the wrong place. Moving the mouse and selecting links messes up the image too. This also occurs on the menu bar and toolbar too. This problem only occurs with these two programs, everything else works great. Netscape 4.7x works okay. If I display Mozilla or Netscape on the RH7.1 box, the rendering is fine too. Perhaps someone knows of a fix to this problem Thanks in advance.

Can you verify the problem with cygwin host and non-cygwin xserver? So we can test if the problem is an xserver or an cygwin problem. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From Steinar.bang@tandbergtv.com Tue Aug 28 05:58:00 2001 From: Steinar.bang@tandbergtv.com (Bang, Steinar) Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 05:58:00 -0000 Subject: connecting to KDM using XDMCP?

(Keith Packard) It works pretty well with mozilla now but unfortunately it now opens a console window when it's getting started. The previous version didn't do that.

I had never intended for those builds to be released, but I must have messed up somewhere along the way and started releasing them. I have to leave the console window enabled for now, as it allows people to send in bug reports for us; running XWin.exe from a console doesn't help either, no messages will be shown. The ultimate solution is to write a platform dependent version (I think this can be done), of the ErrorF function that logs to a file instead of to the console. Any volunteers?

There's one more thing that needs to be done, and it's to comment out a line in /etc/X11/kdm/kdm-config: ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with kdm !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 Ie. put a '!' in front of the line with DisplayManager.requestPort. Then you must restart kdm, with /etc/init.d/kdm restart It is not enough to press the "restart x server" button of the KDM login dialog. - Steinar This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.

One thing I found useful, was to run "netstat -ua" on the linux box. If there isn't a line containg "xdmcp", eg. ... udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:* then no display manager is running and listening for clients.

So far I have tried (most of these after earlier advices given on this list): - setting Xmodmap.no from the above URL, as ~/.Xmodmap, and logging in from KDM - putting Xmodmap.no into /usr/X11, and changing the setting sysmodmap=/usr/X11/Xmodmap to sysmodmap=/usr/X11/Xmodmap.no in /etc/X11/kdm/Xsetup (I saw that this made a different Xmodmap be used, because of different output into ~/.xsession-errors) - setting a Norwegian keyboard as the default in the KDE Control Panel - running "xmodmap Xmodmap.no" in KDE - running "xmodmap Xmodmap.no" in WindowMaker - running xkeycaps in a WindowMaker session, saving a Norwegian keyboard into a file, and running "xmodmap" on this file So far without any success. The keyboard mapping stays US. :-/ - Steinar This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.

Include cygwin1.dll and cygz.dll with the X Server exec, and a fonts directory, or set up a a fonts server somewhere. If you need a windows manager, copy over the WM exec and the libX*.dll files you may need with them. You may run into one other problem... XFree requires that /tmp exists. On a system that has never seen cygwin before, /tmp does not exist. In your startup script, you may need to use mount.exe to map /tmp to the %temp% directory defined in the DOS shell. I do something similar with a CD instead. I include bash.exe or sh.exe and write shell scripts to set everything up. Doing all of this will allows a non-cygwin system to run the X server from network space :) B > > Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, > > I am writing to ask if you would please let me know if its possible to > deploy Cygwin/XFree86 on an MS-Windows shared drive ?

But my script is designed to be used across a SMB share. See www.users.bigpond.com/rasjidw/. So I think I will have come across most of the issues you would need to deal with. I shall give you a call tomorrow from work, as I also live in Canberra. My work email address is rasjidw@austethical.com.au. Cheers, Rasjid.

Try XWin.exe -query -from . If that does not fix it, also check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts. Put ALL:LOCAL into hosts.allow, or see the man page for details. (ALL:LOCAL is not very secure, but is easy.) Rasjid.

This Xmodmap makes "????", "????", and "????" appear correctly and so does all the keys that doesn't require "Alt Gr". xkeycaps said that the "Alt Gr" key (keycode 113) should have the symbols Alt_R, and Meta_R, and have modifier name Mod3. So I have tried setting keycode 113 = Alt_R Meta_R and then clear Mod3 add Mod3 = Alt_R but this didn't work. In an xterm, I got things like twosuperior instead of "@". In emacs 20, pressing "Alt Gr" made keypresses being taken as Meta keys. This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.

What I then did, was to read the "X PROTOCOL DOCUMENT ON KEYMAPS" section in < http://www.jwz.org/xkeycaps/man.html > and from what I read there, set the following keycode mapping: keycode 113 = Mode_switch and not mess about with modifiers at all.

Message-ID: <714DFA46B9BBD0119CD000805FC1F53B01B5AFC8@UKRUX002.rundc.uk.origin-it.com> How do I set cygwin/XFree to use a UK keyboard layout? I've searched the mailing list archives and found suggestions of using setxkbmap, with warnings that there might be bugs. That seems right to me - it sort-of works, but things seem a little odd (occasional lockups, keys not working 100%, etc) The alternative suggestion I found was using xmodmap, and copying a file from a Linux box. The problem is that I have no Linux box, so I can't get the appropriate file. I'm using Cygwin/XFree86 as an X server for installing Oracle on a HP-UX box - but I know very little about X11 - most of my Unix work is using simple telnet clients...

Even if you had a linux box, there would be no guarantee that you had suitable xmodmap files available. linux boxen today, use xkbd (or kdb, letting XFree86 inherit the setup done for the command line). However, the same place I fetched the Xmodmap.no from, has an Xmodmap.uk. Maybe you could try using this as a base, and hand editing it if needed? < http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/X11/i18n/ > This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.

I'll explain my problem then explain what I've done so far to try and fix it. As the subject says I'm having problems ~installing~ freetype. I can configure and compile everything just fine. When I run shell> make install it just says "make: 'install' is up to date." I'm not a developer, so I don't know what I'm looking at in the make files to see what's happening. The reason I am posting here is because I cannot find anything on the freetype.org mailing lists about this. (Kind of hard since I can't search their posts.) So I'm assuming it might be something to do with cygwin. I have searched through the cygin and cygwin-xfree mailing lists and got some hits for freetype, but I'm not making sense of anything it tells me. Only thing I could see is there was a freetype.dll at one time and now it's not supported [?] or was taken out [?] All this effort is my quest to get enlightenment to work and the mailing list has gotten me over a few hills so far. ie: shm cygipc stuff. That was fun! For a newbie it only took me compiling X 3 times before realizing I didn't run the daemon. :( I am ~definitely~ a cygwin newbie, but have many years of *nix under my belt. So please go easy on me. :) Thanks for any help! If this post belongs somewhere else please let me know. ps; I'm also trying to figure out xdm and getting login prompts for other servers. I've never used it before because I mostly just use *nix as a server [cmd line]. I have 2 linux and 1 bsd server that I'd love to admin via the cygwin/xfree86. Any referrals to good howto or tutorial sites would be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
