Document, with comments, what is happening so that I don't accidentally mess it up again. 2) Remove the clipboard support introduced with Test46, as this functionality is now handled by xwinclip. xwinclip will contain all clipboard support until the XWin.exe headers are rewritten to prevent collisions between the X client headers and the X Server headers. 3) Remove the Test47 binary from the servers to prevent people from downloading it, as it is quite broken.

Actually, since those are #error's, I believe they would have been causing build bustage. In any case, it doesn't look like we need to do anything. The default values are correct.

Try 'mv INSTALL INSTALL2' and then 'make install' Because windows/dos doesn't make distinction between small and capital letter the INSTALL file is also treated as install and make thinks that it doesn't have to do anything.

That is to our advantage, because we can probably figure out the source and destination text formats and convert accordingly. I'm going to look at how Emacs does it for some ideas. However, files will be a little trickier, because we'll have to look through the Cygwin mounts, searching for the destination drive, checking the mount mode, then deciding whether we need to convert the text format. I believe it can all be done to a satisfactory level, but it will take some time to get it right.

We write everything we recieve to the clipboard twice. Once in CYGWIN_NATIVE_CLIPBOARD format, which preserves binary data - ie .wav or .exe files, and once in (current_codepage == ansi_cp ? CF_TEXT : CF_OEMTEXT) format to allow windows applications to copy the data. > 3) I have no idea when conversions from UNIX to DOS text occur with > /dev/clipboard.

Sure - I understand that myself :}. > However, you know a lot about the Windows clipboard API, so I'd appreciate > any direct or indirect contributions you have to make (including some specs > on how /dev/clipboard works). Ok, some notes - semi random brain dump :}. Formats and why I did'nt code for them: With /dev/clipboard, and no cygwin daemon (Corinna, this is another item for the dameon :}) we cannot do onrequest-format conversion with /dev/clipboard because the process writing to /dev/clipboard terminates. This means that all format information has to be applied to the windows clipboard in one hit. (It would be more efficient to simply tell windows we have data, and can support _any_ format, and then wait for a request, which we can satisfy with the optimal clipboard format.) So supporting multiple formats means a separate copy of the data is written to the windows clipboard at write time. Ouch. For now, because of this we create only two clipboard data instances: 1) with a CYGWIN_NATIVE_CLIPBOARD only format, to allow us to read the exact data written to the clipboard back again. 2) with a TEXT format to allow windows applications to get the data. With a daemon, we can buffer the local data, register all the appropriate FORMATS we can support via translations and use an ioctl to let cygwin apps tell us what the data really is. (ie ioctl (fd, cyg_clip_format, "text/html") ). writing to /dev/clipboard Because we don't know how much will be written, we cannot use a fixed buffer, and because the writing process may trickle data in we accumulate the written data, and at the end of each write() copy the current content to the windows clipboard (once in each format). If a seek occurs, we rewind the buffer. reading from /dev/clipboard We try to read in CYGWIN_NATIVE_CLIPBOARD, and then in the appropriate TEXT format. This allows us to copy binary data through the clipboard. We allow seek()ing through the read buffer. Future work possible/thought of: * format metadata. Needs a daemon to be practical. _very_ useful. iotcls are needed - should be copied from linux/X something that has similar behaviour. (I couldn't see anything obvious on linux :[). * on-demand formatting - needed for proper format metadata operation. Requires cygwin daemon (like your clipboard process). Would be no more memory efficient than current implementation, but much more flexible. X11 clipboard interface: Basically /dev/clipboard and the X11 clipboard have the same job to do. Provide a unix-convention interface to the windows clipboard, in both directions. I suspect that the X11 clipboard interface is quote similar to the windows clipboard. What I would suggest doing is: 1) Make the X11 clipboard functions a wrapper around /dev/clipboard. 2) Add functionality to /dev/clipboard to minimize the amount of code needed in the X11 clipboard. (ie the ioctls, daemon persistence etc). Doing this would minimize the duplication of effort and code. It would also mean that multiple X servers would share a clipboard - is that a good thing or a bad thing? (I know that all the linux virtual consoles share a clipboard)... However, as there is no cygwin daemon now, and the discussion to set the API etc is just underway you can't do 2) yet and I don't want to hold up your work... so ... Howabout this: treat your X11 clipboard app as a testing base for the eventual code needed by the cygwin daemon. Ie write your code with the intent that it is generic, not X specific, that the X11 stuff is a layer above it. The lower layer registers for delayed format creation, supports setting the content type and translating appropriately and so forth. Then when the cygwin daemon starts to shape up, the lower layer can get moved to the daemon, and upper layer is whats in the X server code providing the X11 clipboard interface. Likewise, /dev/clipboard will become a basically empty wrapper around the daemon functions.

Is it possible to simply implement some translation table using some command line option? The reason is, that my language (Czech) uses several character encodings, so national characters are corrupted, when I copy both from Windows (CP-1250) to Unix (Latin-2) and back.

A cygwin-xfree server started with "-query". I just run C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -screen 0 1024 768 -query 172.21.206.140 from a desktop shortcut. This works nicely, and I don't have to worry about a .bat file hanging around. When do startxwin.bat terminate? I've never quite understood how .bat files work. The old UNIX startx scripts worked in that the script didn't terminate until the last program started (in the foreground) had terminated, and when this program terminated the X server session was terminated as well. >From what I can see startxwin.bat doesn't seem to work this way. I assume that programs started with "start" are run in the background?

Is there an environment setting of the DISPLAY variable, same as in startxwin.bat? I guess I could try something like this, but then there is the problem you've run into, that the x server doesn't terminate... hm...

Just opening the file will set the correct binmode/textmode.

This was on a debian machine running an unstable version of the kernel. The location of the kdmrc file on this system was /etc/kde2/kdm/kdmrc. By default, XDMCP was turned off. Find the configuration file and look for [Xdmcp].

There is no configuration for this in xfree. You can change the key repeat settings in windows. This should help. Otherwise you'll have to modify the sources. 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 alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Wed Sep 5 08:15:00 2001 From: alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 08:15:00 -0000 Subject: problem with Function Keys.

"xmodmap -pk |grep F8" gives me the keycode for F8, which is 74 in Cygwin. "xset -r 74" should turn off repeat for F8. "xset r off" should turn off repeat on all keys. However, it does not do anything with either variation of the command. If I use Exceed, the keycode changes to 73, but when I do "xset -r 73" or "xset f off" things do work as they should and key repeats are turned off properly. Can anyone else verify this? I'm pretty sure I have XFree86 version 4.1.0 installed. Is there a way to tell for sure? Thanks again, Mark On Wed, 5 Sep 2001 10:07:47 -0400, Ronald W.

You can enable backing store support by adding the +bs parameter to your XWin.exe command line, e.g.: XWin +bs Backing store support has been compiled into XWin.exe for some time now, but I am not sure when it showed up exactly. You can download the latest server if your version does not have it enabled: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/ Also, you can verify that backing store is operational, after adding the +bs parameter, by running 'xdpyinfo'. You should see the following line in the output from xdpyinfo: options: backing-store YES, save-unders YES Thank you for your interest in our project, Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com > [ mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of D G > Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 2:45 PM > To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: backing store available? > > > Can backing store be enabled on the Cygwin Xfree86 Xserver? > > -- > > > -- > Daniel > ZZZ-dgun-ZZZ-@umpire-ZZZ-.com > (remove the Z-'s to reply--they're what I do when I read spam) > > > _______________________________________________ > FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com > http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup > > Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! > http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 > From dobrin@imageworks.com Wed Sep 5 12:24:00 2001 From: dobrin@imageworks.com (Bruce Dobrin) Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 12:24:00 -0000 Subject: blackbox, other window managers?

You're thinking of a different problem. This problem happens with Windows XP. It's been discussed and rehashed endlessly by people on the cygwin mailing list. So, I eventually put some words about this on the Cygwin web page. I've rewritten the words three times with just about zero effect. Now, this is usually the point where someone observes "Windows XP work really good for me!" and then we will discuss whether it is possibly the lighting above the computer that allows things to work great for one person but not for another. Or, maybe it's because I'm using a USB mouse and you're using a PS/2... We will, of course, stay well clear of any inspection of the source code during any discussion. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Wed Sep 5 14:24:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Wed, 05 Sep 2001 14:24:00 -0000 Subject: Problem with Xwin.exe References: <20010905165152.A3830@redhat.com> Message-ID: Chris, > It's been discussed and rehashed > endlessly by people on the cygwin mailing list.

The newer version of bash must have something in it that fixes the problem. The installation the I have is only about one month old so almost everything else was up-to-date.

Depends on how you start your X sessions. - if you use startxwin.bat, just put "setxkbmap de" at the end of the .bat file - if you use a display manager (eg. xdm, kdm, gdm), take a look in the mail archives, at a thread I started last week This email, its content and any attachments is PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL to TANDBERG Television.

Not your fault or cygwin's. I am going to do a fresh install of everything cygwin, xfree and then kde. Maybe that will fix it. For what ever reason (probably my fault) startx does not work. Maybe I should read the docs with xfree and see if I need to configure startx before running. Anyway I will let you know if reinstallation works.

Half my problems went away when I reinstalled every thing. Startx now works fine. Startkde1.bat does not seem to work but what ever. I did figure out how to make kde run after running startxwin.bat. All I needed to do was change the initial xterm that is in the bat file to this: start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i This causes xterm to read the my .profile in which I have all the paths set up. Then when this is started I can run kde from the xterm and it all works great. I also commented out twm from the startxwin.bat. I will retry icewm latter but so far I am very happy with all of this. Thanks every one for such a wonder product. I love cygwin.

I use this command line: XWin -fullscreen -ac -query -from My remote host is running FreeBSD and window manager WindowMaker. And it happily connects and I log in and start WindowMaker. Everything is great and I am happy (and quite impressed that this works). I start using applications. After doing anything for 15 - 30 minutes in windowmaker (which works great until this point) everything suddenly closes and it goes back to the grey screen. I hit alt tab and go back to the windows desktop. I notice I can't connect to anything with any application even after killing all cygwin / xfree86 processes. So here's the details of what's going on even after killing XFree86 and CygWin: Any program that tries to create a socket fails. For example, calling socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_IP) will always return SOCKET_ERROR. Then calling WSAGetLastError() returns WSAENOBUFS. According to Microsoft's Platform SDK this means "No buffer space is available. The socket cannot be created." I don't know precisely which (socket?) APIs use this "buffer space" but apparently it isn't being released by XFree86 or Cygwin and it isn't being reclaimed by Win2k after I kill everything I can. Rebooting the computer is the only fix I've found. I've been able to reproduce this three times (I've tried only three times). Has anyone else seen this? Am I doing something stupid? Which module(s) might this problem be rooted in? If nobody else wants to look into this, I might.

Right, I would have put something like that originally, but I never used csh/tcsh, so I needed to wait until someone gave me an example. Oh yeah, and I'm lazy too... :) > BTW on point 2, shouldn't it be "xhost + remote..." instead of "xhost > remote..." Since I'm lazy, I will just answer your simple question with a quote from the xhost man page: [+]name The given name (the plus sign is optional) is added to the list allowed to connect to the X server. The name can be a host name or a user name. Notice, ``the plus sign is optional''.

I recently installed cygwin-xfree for Window$98. I can successfully connect from the Win98 PC via ssh to my Linux box, but I cannot run X-clients under the cygwin-xfree86 X-server when the firewall on the remote Linux box is running. I believe this is because I am not implementing X tunnelling properly through ssh. The X-clients do run properly when the remote host firewall is down. Note that there is no firewall on the localhost running cygwin-xfree86. I am doing a variant of the following from an cywin-xfree xterm: $> xhost + $> ssh login_name@remotehost_ip enter password $> export DISPLAY=localhost_ip:0.0 $> xterm & # or some other x program and I receive the error: Can't open display: localhost_ip:0.0 Furthermore, I am evaluating copies of StarNet X-Win32 and F-Secure SSH and with these products I can run X-clients through the remote firewall without any problems, because F-Secure SSH has an option, which I enabled, that allows X11 tunneling. Can anyone tell me how to implement X11 tunneling using the ssh version distributed with cygwin? In case anyone is wondering why I'm trying to run X through a firewall - we are on a DSL network with DHCP and without a firewall separating our LAN from the ISP. I am using iptables on the Linux box with the following modified entries tied to MAC addresses for our Window$98 machines. In short, the following ports are open only for the machines with the correct MAC address: ssh 22 samba 137:139 xdmcp 177 x11 6000:6063 -A INPUT -s subnet/mask -p tcp -m mac --mac mac_address -m tcp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s subnet/mask -p udp -m mac --mac mac_address -m udp --dport 137:139 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s subnet/mask -p tcp -m mac --mac mac_address -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s subnet/mask -p tcp -m mac --mac mac_address -m tcp --dport 177 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s subnet/mask -p tcp -m mac --mac mac_address -m tcp --dport 6000:6063 -j ACCEPT So, of course I know that the best thing to do in the long run is to put a firewall in between our LAN and the DSL modem, but my boss is too cheap to buy a hardware firewall and I haven't had the time to setup a cheap diskless firewall or figure out how to best implement NAT. Hence the need to run iptables with support for MAC matching instead of IP address matching.

Incidentaly, I couln't find the /etc/ssh_config file, but /usr/doc/Cygwin/openssh-2.9p2.README documented the usage of the ssh-host-config command which writes the required files to the /etc directory.

First of all, the FAQ entry seems slightly wrong. The paragraph on point "1" begins thusly: Using Xinstall.sh to install Cygwin/XFree86 on a text-mode Cygwin mount rather than binary-mode mount. You will need to change your default Cygwin mount mode to binary-mode and rerun the Xinstall.sh script ... If I understand this correctly, the first sentence should have "text-mode" and "binary-mode" reversed. One thing that's not completely clear about this is whether I can change the mount to binary, install XFree86, and then change it back to text mode, and have everything work. Now, on the alternative idea of "manually ungziping and untarring", what exactly do I ungzip and untar, and where do I put it? The FAQ entry refers to using a non-Cygwin-aware unpacker, like "Winzip", which I don't presently have (although I have "jar" from Java, which suffices most of the time, but probably won't for this). The FAQ entry also doesn't say what to unpack, or where to put it. -----Original Message----- From: Suhaib Siddiqi [ mailto:ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com ] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 2:22 PM To: 'cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com' Subject: RE: startx fails with: could not open default font 'fixed' Fonts problem.

I don't want to leave it in binary mode, however. Will it still work if I change it back to text afterwards? Is there any way to fix the install process so this doesn't become a problem?

If the "bug" is with something that READS those instead of writes them, then changing the mount back to text mode after the install might not work. -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt [ mailto:huntharo@msu.edu ] Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 3:13 PM To: Karr, David; cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com Subject: RE: startx fails with: could not open default font 'fixed' David, > I understand now.

I don't personally have any background information. I can tell you that we fixed a similar problem by linking automode.o to, I think, makedepend.exe by setting xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf/BootstrapCFlags = -L/lib/automode.o The link command for mkfontdir.exe could be modified to link /lib/automode.o when __CYGWIN__ is defined. I could give you, or whomever takes up this task, more information; but, to do so would be require me to fix the problem, and I tend to do that way too often. So, that's all you get :) Harold From bronwyn.allan@ntu.edu.au Tue Sep 11 18:55:00 2001 From: bronwyn.allan@ntu.edu.au (Bronwyn Allan) Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 18:55:00 -0000 Subject: cut & paste Message-ID: Hi, thanks to those who responded to my original email and directed me to xwinclip.exe to gain cut & paste functionality for cygwin/xfree86.

Message-ID: As I look back through the xfree changelogs, I notice that as of test30 xfree sends release messages for modifier keys when it loses Windows keyboard focus. Is there any reason that this is not done for all keys? I've run into one annoying problem that still exists with xwin-test48. When a Windows dialog pops up while I'm typing in xfree, xfree will often think I'm still holding down whatever key I was holding down at that instant. For example, I'll be running a windows program from an xterm in xfree, and it'll crash right when I hit Enter. The VC debugger window pops up just as I'm about to release the Enter key. As I read the popup message, I see that the xfree window (which no longer has focus) is now behaving as though I am holding down the Enter key. Once it starts, I can fix the problem by giving focus back to the xfree window and hitting the repeated key again, but is this really necessary? Running Win2k Pro, Athlon 1 GHz on Asus A7V MB. I don't think anything else in my setup is too strange. Thanks for your answers and hard work. I love this X server!

However, using the ALT-TAB key sequence to hop back and forth between X and other windows in W2K, causes X to lockup and free. The only thing I can do is kill the process and start it again.

I've not heard of a single corroborating report. I cannot offer any hints, and I can't suspect that something is really wrong with XInstall.sh. Assuming that vi was running under Cygwin, I would wager a guess that you either had multiple copies of cygwin1.dll on your system, or you were using a really old version of cygwin1.dll (or perhaps a snapshot). I'm guessing that running vi changed the system state sufficiently that the script was processed correctly. In other words, I think that the edit you made probably did not have a direct beneficial effect. > 4.

That is not normal at all, though I have seen it on occassion when I have messed things up; you could try the latest Server Test Series release. However, this furthers my suspicions of multiple copies of cygwin1.dll. > 5. XWin hangs > Sometimes Xwin crashes. > After some tries startxwin9x.bat hangs immediately.

It would be logical that the font may be missing, but my guess is that the window manager would be smart enough to fall back on a default font, rather than not displaying anything at all. > 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. In that case, I'm going to say that your problems are due either to your installation of Cygwin or to some 3rd party software that you have installed on your system.

This includes when using key combinations instead of the mouse to paste. This also includes copying from Emacs to the same Emacs buffer or from another remotely displayed terminal into Emacs. This scenario occurs when I'm running: 1. Cygwin 1.3.3 2. xwinclip Test 01 binary via start /B xwinclip.exe 3. cygwin xfce port 4. ssh'd into another box with the -X option It is important to note that when xwinclip is not started, these excess characters are not seen. Also, when pasting into a remotely displayed X terminal everything is fine. If this is not a bug, is there a way to make this excess character (probably a null character) not occur?

Just re-run the Cygwin setup program and select the following at the Install root directory window: Default Text File Type = Unix Install For = Just Me This will mount the cygwin root directory on a binary mount (in addition to downloading any newer packages). Then re-run the XFree86 Xinstall.sh script. This request occurs so often that I think the Cygwin Setup program should be changed so that the above options are the default.

All seems to be working reasonably well, except for two minor issues. First, I have a minor problem with the colours xfree uses. The colours I see in the bash window are fine. However, xfree seems to use the same colours, except that the background is white. These colours (green and yellow) work well in the bash window because its background colour is black. In xfree, the background of the window in which I am entering commands is white, so these colours become almost impossible to see. How can I set these colours in xfree? Second, if I am working only with a bash session, I can close the window using either exit or , and the window closes immediately. If I start xfree, I can close it using either exit or , but once I do so, I can no longer close the bash session in the same way, and must instead use the 'X' icon at the top right of the window frame. Similarly, if I start grass5, which appears to spawn a bash session as a child process (that is the way it looks, but I have not looked into the code to see what is really happening), xfree shows the same problem WRT closing that bash does when xfree has been started. This is not a show stopper, since I can kill the parent processes using the 'X' icon that generaly occurs at the top right corner of the frames of application windows, and since everything appears to work normally until I attempt to shut down the bash or xfree session, but it is a bit of a nusance. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Cheers, Ted R.E.

Immediately, you know why these places are linked together. The names of these schools are forever burned into our memories and the national conscience... Are you concerned about the rising number of incidents of violence in our schools? Would you like to lower the probabilty of such an incident from occuring at your school? Would you like to help our children better cope with the pressures of modern life - helping to prevent issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy and suicide? If you answered yes to any of these questions - then read on..... The Resilient Kids CD ROM Program is used in schools, churches, and homes to teach optimism, coping skills, and personal mastery and helps to prevent depression in young people. This program, launched in April 2000, is now in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools across Australia. With its light-hearted, interactive approach, the Resilient Kids CD ROM Program strives to achieve the following objectives: - Reducing the incidence of suicide in the young by teaching primary prevention strategies. - Teaching children how to evaluate their automatic thoughts and to re-look at failures or set-backs as challenges to be reacted to with activity and hope. - Teaching parents how to help their children achieve self-esteem through personal mastery. - Creating a sense of belonging through parents and school working together for the childs well being. - Equipping older teenagers with ideas and skills for managing the transition from adolescence to adulthood and handling typical stressful situations. - Taking a serious problem and making it easy to communicate and fun to learn through interactivity. The program's success is due to: - A clear format for instant implementation - Colorful, fun-filled interactive material suitable for all reading ages and learning abilities - Practicality. It will not burden crowded curriculums or overload teachers - A built-in, prepared parent education component Resilience Training - the most effective way for both primary and secondary schools to address the serious social problems of depression, suicide and substance abuse. Take advantage of this unique program and teach your students how to "bounce back positively." Resilient Kids is a positive, effective and enjoyable prevention program for your school community.

I also see an item in X11r6/bin called X which is clearly a link to something, but I have not been able to figure out what it is linked to. Would I break anything if I created an alias which ran startx or startxwin.sh when 'x' is used as a command? Please consider the appended output taken from the bash window in which X, startx and startxwin.sh were each run. Both 'X' and startx produce a message "_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root" What does this mean, and why do they produce it when startxwin.sh does not? But 'X' seems to be rather useless because it does not create any windows in which I can enter commands. startx is unique inthat it gives a series of "cat: /home/Bted/.Xauthority: No such file or directory" messages. What is this, what does it mean, and what, if anything should I do about it? The xterm error messages are interesting int hat it appears that not all of the windows in which I can enter commands were created equal in startx. In both startx and startxwin.sh, if I exit all windows before using , then no xterm errors appear. But, if I have used startx, and I enter the exit command in the leftmost window first, the whole session ends and the xterm errors shown occur for the other two windows. Why? Is this something I ought to be concerned about? More troubling, for me, because I do not know what these errors mean, is that if I have closed all of the command windows when I have used startx, I get the following error message: waiting for X server to shut down XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ": 0.0" after 624 requests (619 known processed) with 2 events remaining. Otherwise, if one or more command windows are left open, with startx and with startxwin.sh, I get the following error message: XIO: fatal IO error 110 (errno ESHUTDOWN triggered) on X server ":0.0" after 675 requests (673 known processed) with 9 events remaining. And in this case, startx also gives a login error message. If the command window created by startxwin.sh is closed before using , then it does not give any error messages. Do all these error messages mean that something in my installation of xfree is broken, or is it the case that 'X' and startx do a couple things that are not appropriate on NT+cygwin? I generally like what startx does better than startxwin.sh, except that the clock is about a quarter of the size it ought to be (I have a high resolution monitor), and except for all the errors it produces! And I still haven't been able to figure out how to change the colour scheme. And I find that if I use startx, I can still shut down the bash window I started it from in the usual way, whereas if I use startxwin.sh I must resort to the 'X' icon at the top right corner of the window frame. How can I change startxwin.sh so that it reproduces the appearance, and closing behaviour, that startx does; or equivalently, how can I change startx so that I get rid of all the errors it produces, change the colours it uses, and increase the size of the clock (so I do not have to do it manually)? Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ted R.E.

My test of kde 1.1.2 with win95 shows that the xlib works well and as I recognized this problems with the xfree server I have tried exceed, which world well too. So I have seen that kde should work, I don't speed more time for analysing of my very limited time and big problems with ld and libtool. What I can do, is to install current cygwin 1.3.3 and see how it works. After that we can talk about the test server binaries. BTW: Is there anybody else who can do this ? Doing this need not very deep knowledge but some time to verify, because currently I'm working on porting kde2 and have some socket problems with klauncher. When this is solved, I thing the first alpha version of kde 2 is ready soon.

You can of cause modify the behaviour of the window manager but this requires a lot of manual reading. I have to make clear that the windows displayed by xfree have nothing in common with the windows from Windows. Another point is that you will never close the "bash-window". Bash is just a console program. It runs either in a cmd-window (which you can close with alt-f4 since it's a windows application) or in a xterm, rxvt or any other terminal program. These are X11 programs and have completely other settings than cmd.exe (see first question). This is NEVER a bash issue. 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 ted.byers@sympatico.ca Fri Sep 14 04:11:00 2001 From: ted.byers@sympatico.ca (ted byers) Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2001 04:11:00 -0000 Subject: Two questions Message-ID: <000001c13d0d$cc00fad0$7b61e740@beak.com> Thanks Alexander > This is not an xfree, bu an xterm issue.

I was thinking only of using alt-f4 on what you identify as the cmd window in which bash runs. But this no longer works if I have run startxwin.sh from that window. Also, if I have not run startxwin.sh, the cmd-window closes when I issue the command 'exit', but this TOO no longer works if I have run startxwin.sh. But this does not happen if I have used startx.

The problem is that bash had started some child processes, which run in the background. If they are still running, you can't close bash. If you shutdown XWin, then bash will exit and the window will close.

I guess part of the problem is that when I last used unix, I would leave this sort of thing to the sys-admin, and I never had to deal with shell scripts. I have been meaning to look into the latter (something I should be able to manage if I can find a good book or ebook, since I have been writing programs in languages like fortran and C++ for close to twenty years - I just never needed shell scripts before).

Thanks Alexander The question clearly is, therefore, where is the relevant difference between startx and startxwin.sh? Because the problem exists with startxwin.sh but not with startx. The problem must lie within startxwin since it happens even if I just start startxwin.sh and then attempt to close it.

This is something I have never tested. I only use Xwin as terminal to a linux box and have only the minimal install of Xwin and needed libraries.

You say Xwin.exe just fires up a window you can't do anything in.. yes that is correct that is the x-server, it is just a.. 'drawing area'.. That is exactly what Xwin.exe should do. Xwindows is not like windows where the start-menu and so on is included on the 'drawing area' or maybe 'scratch area' ;-) What you see on your screen are separate apps fired up, like twm, the application drawing borders around windows providing menu on the desktop (also called windowmanager), xterm a window with your shell in it.. xsetroot to set the background to something interesting..

It looks to me like xinit is setting up XWin in a manner such that it shuts down whereas startxwin.sh is not, and I'd bet the difference is involved in one or more of the parameters passed to the server. But which one(s), and what value should it(they) have? Can you give me an example of an ~/.xinitrc file that a) sets the foreground and background colours to something interesting, b) doubles the size of the clock started by startx, and c) gets rid of the following error? (or is this error something I ought to be concerned about?) waiting for X server to shut down XIO: fatal IO error 110 (errno ESHUTDOWN triggered) on X server ":0.0" after 682 requests (678 known processed) with 2 events remaining. Am I right to suspect that this is due to something involved in how xinit starts XWin? Or maybe it would be simpler to edit startxwin.sh. I include the following from it: # Start the X Server. XWin -screen 0 1024 768 & #? does the above line govern how the server is shut down? Or ... # Start the twm window manager. twm & # Set a background color to hide that nasty X stipple. xsetroot -solid aquamarine4 # Start an xterm. xterm -n xterm-1 -j -ls -sb -sl 500 -bg black -fg white -rightbar -geometry +361+0 -e bash & #? Do I have to add a statement here to shut down the server and/or the twm window manager? #? if so, what is the required statement? # Return from sh. exit If I edit startxwin.sh, what would I put in ~/.xinitrc to start the clock at twice the size of that started by startx? And am I right in supposing that al of the part I exerpted from startxwin.sh could go into ~/.xinitrc? Thanks for your time and patience.

I want answers, not questions. I have said many times before that I am not a good X user. In fact, I am hardly an X user at all. I don't know X policy, I don't know X startup scripts, I don't know a good window manager (nor do I care to), and the list goes on. If you want the startup scripts policy changed you are more than welcome to write new startup scripts and supply patches to the documentation that represents any changes made. You have to understand that there is probably between 5 to 10 hours of work into the current startup scripts (remember the documentation). The startup-scripts will only change if someone else spends more time on them than Suhaib and I already have. That means: I'm not interested in suggestions that people can come up with in 10 minutes. I am only interested in real results that took someone at least 10 hours to produce. I am speaking in general, not only for the startup scripts.

Building a full tree, with fonts, used to take 71 minutes; now it takes 46 minutes. I believe this can primarily be attributed to one item in the Cygwin 1.3.3 release announcement, since we build using a tree of symlinks to the CVS tree (via lndir.exe): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00112.html - Store symlink contents in extended attribute for speed, if possible. (Egor Duda) Native building of Cygwin/XFree86 is now roughly half as fast as cross compiling under Linux, which is quite an improvement from cross compiling being 3 to 4 times faster. It was really disappointing to see my P3-550, running Linux, leaving my Athlon-1200, running Cygwin, in its dust. Both machines now build, without fonts, in roughly 29 minutes. Great work guys!

My X level is certainly the same than yours, that's why I've made this proposition to this list. Now, I give here here way I use hopping that it could be confirmed by somebody.... First, here is my startx.bat, inspired from cygwin.bat : ---------------------------------- @echo off C: chdir \cygwin\bin bash --login -i -c "startx -- -screen 0 1024 768" -------------------------------- The option to pass to Xwin must be after startx --. The startx script mentionned is the one provided by XFree86. Second, here is my ~/.xinitrc : ----------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $ userresources=$HOME/.Xresources usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap # merge in defaults and keymaps if [ -f $sysresources ]; then xrdb -merge $sysresources fi if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then xmodmap $sysmodmap fi if [ -f $userresources ]; then xrdb -merge $userresources fi if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then xmodmap $usermodmap fi #Added by luc to add icewm fonts to the font path if [ -d $HOME/fonts ]; then xset fp+ $HOME/fonts xset fp rehash fi; # start some nice programs xwinclip & xterm -ls -geometry 87x22+2+2 -font 10x20 -name initalXterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black & xemacs & exec icewm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ending with the exec ensure the fact that the script is locked on the windowmanger. So, when window manger ends, the scripts ends with him. For notice, here is my ~/ .Xressources ------------------------------------------------------ Emacs*font : -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 ------------------------------------------------------- This way seems to gurantee that that nice progams at the end are launched when the xserver is ready, so the fonts are available.

' Well, I'll seriously consider it if somebody gives me a precise, tested list of packages. However, I don't have much enthusiasm for the idea, as it would be one more bit of information that would need to be kept up to date.

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Peter Hawkins [ mailto:peter@globalvision.com.au ] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 2:52 AM To: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Subject: cygwin and X11/gnome question Suhaib, I have read all the documentation I can find but I'm still stuck I'm very new to cygwin but I installed XFree, afterstep and followed the instructions at http://my.dreamwiz.com/jbdoll/ , to install libiconv, glib, gtk+, imlib and xfce. I believe all these run fine. I have seen that there is interest in gnome and thought I'd see how far I can get with it. I downloaded a very recent libtool and installed it - I read somewhere that you need to do that for it to work with dlls. I then tried building ORBit without luck - the build runs but crashes out when it attempts to compile the tests. My questions are: What if any are the limitations of cygwin that make it hard to get gnome to run? should ORBit be able to compile and if so is there any information on how to do it or a binary I can get? has anyone got gnome to fly yet and is that being worked on?

Well done!! One annoyance comes from the interaction with X and native Windows apps that run in the background and occasionally pop up a window to notify me of e.g. new mail. If I happen to be typing and have a key down when the popup appears, X does not notice that I release the key, and it goes into auto repeat, sending dozens of keystroke messages to apps until I press another key with X in focus. This is frightening especially when the key is "Delete" and I'm editing an important file! Perhaps related is the fact that X receives and passes along to an app whatever keystroke I use to dismiss the popup. (A workaround in my case is to dismiss it with the mouse.) IMHO, the X server should handle de-focus events (if there are such things?) by considering any keys are currently down to be released. At the very least, it should disable autorepeat when it doesn't have focus. Thanks again for your work. -John From alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Wed Sep 19 10:31:00 2001 From: alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2001 10:31:00 -0000 Subject: asynchronous popups hide key release References: <85256ACC.005AADD8.00@notes.intdata.com> Message-ID: On Wed, 19 Sep 2001 John_Tobey@notes.intdata.com wrote: > > One annoyance comes from the interaction with X and native Windows apps that run > in the background and occasionally pop up a window to notify me of e.g. new > mail.

I have never "consiously" installed DUN, I just did a pretty standard install if I remember correctly. Again, I will check this evening. B.T.W. You mention "broadcast traffic": When I do "XWin.exe -query -from " it fails with "no valid address". When I do "XWin.exe -broadcast -from " it gives me an X-Window, but I don't get a login dialog from the Linux Box. I don't know if this is important. > Just a thought.

What's the DUN thing? But maybe the version of windows95 does count. There are different versions of win95. You can identify them by selecting the system tab from the controlcenter (don't know if they're so in english versions). There should be a string like 4.00.95*. What is the last character.

So it seems to be a Win95c problem. I've created a small test program which uses the same code as XWin does. It will soon appear on < http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/xfree/ls_netdev.tar.gz > The program tries to get the network configuration via ioctl and prints the configuration. On Win98, Win95a and Linux :) it prints the configuration for lo (loopback) and eth0 (first network card). On Win95c it only prints the lo configuration. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@s1999.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org phone: +49 3725 3498080 mobile: +49 172 7854017 From kluckie@ihug.co.nz Mon Sep 24 22:01:00 2001 From: kluckie@ihug.co.nz (Matthew Luckie) Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2001 22:01:00 -0000 Subject: stopping the console window from showing Message-ID: <000801c1457f$6844d870$0b00a8c0@spandex> Hi there I use XWin.exe to do remote X with the following shortcut: C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\XWin.exe -screen 0 1024x740 -from 192.168.0.10 -query 192.168.0.1 -once -emulate3buttons -nowinkill -nounixkill I have the path environment set so I can do this from a shortcut on my desktop. I absolutely love what I can do with this software, although it would be nice to get rid of the console window that is shown along with the Cygwin/XFree86 window. I am aware that NT Emacs overcame this problem with a small utility exe that hides the console window that is created. I adapted the code to XWin.exe (called it runxwin.exe) although the Cygwin/XFree86 window never shows. This could be my fault. I haven't looked through the code for XWin.exe but I speculate that this could be the result of ShowWindow being called with WinMain's nCmdShow which would be SW_HIDE. I have included the source to the runxwin.exe which was adapted from runemacs.exe (which is GPLd). http://www.math.luc.edu/~rig/home/emacs/emacs-20.4/nt/runemacs.c Is there a way for me to stop the console window showing?

I followed the instructions - but it was an already installed CygWin, so I skipped the "Install CygWin"-section in the guide.

Genesio & Dobrin Message-ID: <3BB0E086.BDAA65AF@cowaro.com> I have humbly, previously reported a similar problem - maybe to the wrong list. As near as I can tell, it is happening when I hit the shift & caps by clumsily slipping fingers. I can usually get out of it by alternating insert mode because it happens when I am in vi for the most part. Associated with the problem is the fact that the caps lock indicator is not lit when in that mode. It can be pretty frustrating.

On a side note, the keyboard handling code in Cygwin/XFree86 has never gotten a thorough review and I believe it could really use one. For one thing, we should check all key states, by calling GetKeyboardState () instead of calling GetKeyState () for only a few keys. We should then release *any* key that is pressed, rather than just the modifier keys. Secondly, winTranslateKey () should be using an array to correspond Windows key codes to X key codes, rather than a switch statement. I don't really have time to do such a review and improvement, so I'd appreciate it if someone else did.

I see no reason for the wrapping ProgramTargetName () in xc/config/cf/cygwin.rules with !CrossCompiling. We have always, as long as I have been with the project, concatenated .exe onto the program target name. That is to say, the rule was appending .exe long before anyone had even thought of cross compiling. Now I get fun errors like the following when building: + mv -f XWin XWin.bak mv: preserving times for `XWin.bak': No such file or directory mv: cannot unlink `XWin': No such file or directory mv: cannot remove `XWin': No such file or directory make: [XWin] Error 1 (ignored) Furthermore, 'make XWin.exe' doesn't work, which invalidates the 'make' commands I gave in the Contributor's Guide: make: Nothing to be done for `XWin.exe'.

I tried 'ls_netdev.exe' on a Windows 95 OSR 2 (Windows 95B) machine (with just one ethernet card, installed Winsock 2 and no Dial-Up Networking). Only the lo0 is returned and this is not a bug in 'ls_netdev.c' - the ioctl call returns that single interface (ifc.ifc_len == sizeof (struct ifreq)) only. This might be a bug in Cygwin, since that framework is not present at all in the Win32-API (I doubt anything like that is present in Winsock 1, but Winsock 2 has a GET_INTERFACE_INFO call to WSAIoctl which returns an INTERFACE_INFO) and has to be emulated completely. - Tim Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S. http://clubs.lycos.com/live/events/september11.asp From m.plowman@hexapole.com Wed Sep 26 05:46:00 2001 From: m.plowman@hexapole.com (Mark Plowman) Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 05:46:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin-xfree: xdmcp: "no valid address" Message-ID: <20010926124600.C12BC175D@duif.hexapole.nl> Fabio, Sorry for the slow response, I am not subscribed to the list and you had forgotten to "CC: " me. > With cygwin on windows 95 B/C try to install > winsock2. http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkingTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp > I found it makes the difference between working and non working > inetd.

Well, this can be caused by many things: . the Cygwin-emulation code for this particular ioctl-call works on Windows NT only . your/my version of Cygwin was compiled on a machine with different libs/includes and/or versions of some libraries (on NT/2000 perhaps?) . in some installations, Windows might report eth0 before lo0 (if you install your ethernet card before/after some thing else) All this is just speculation - I don't know anything about the inner workings of Cygwin and I don't even have the source. >If the problem is in Cygwin and it doesn't a *framework* for these >queries how do some configuration work?

AFAIR, Win95b introduced winsock2. Maybe this is the problem. Cygwin uses 3 different ways to get the network interfaces. One for Win95 and Win31, one for NT and one for Win98, ME, 2k. Maybe the newer versions of Win95 support the win98 interface, but not the old win95 interface. I'll check this tonight.

I do not know if the problem lies in xfree or in the window manager. However, I notice that regardless of which window manager I use, ssh-agent.exe is started, and when I shut down XWindows, it is left running. And it continues to run if I shut down the bash window from which I started XWindows. I noticed also that sh.exe is started, but it invariably shuts down when I terminate the last bash process. And I get an orphaned ssh-agent.exe for each time I have started and shut down XWindows. I am writing to both mail lists because I do not know if the problem lies in, and is common to, both window managers, or if it is a problem in xfree running on cygwin that just creates the appearance of the same problem being in both window managers.

But now that everything is built. Just do 'make' from the top level directory and pipe the output to a file. You'll notice the problems then - it's only on a subsequent build, like say, when you've change a source file and just want to rebuild that program. Let me know what you get. Alan.

I debugged the code and it seems that the interpretation of the registry keys is wrong. The key HKLM\Enum\Network\MSTCP\* describes on TCP/IP setting. This is bound to several services (VREDIR,VSERVER) and to a network card (NIC). The code in cygwin assumes that the binding to services via VREDIR binds to the NIC too. From the logical point this seems not to be correct. It is more logical that one TCP/IP setting is dircetly bound to the NIC. I changed this in the ls_netdev code and win95c and win95a showed the correct interfaces. I'm currently compiling a new version of cygwin to check that the changes work. The patch compiles and works in a test program.

It certainly is - that's what I've found out over the last two hours. ;-) [patch snipped] Thanks! Great work! But I've also been busy and figured out a work-around (I wrote this earlier, so details are most certainly not correct): ------ snip ------ As it turns out, Cygwin is unable to get your local interface address under Windows 95, if the number of the interface in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Enum\\Network\\MSTCP (which is, if there is only one, 0000) differs from the entry of the key "Driver", whose contents are "NetTrans\000X". Here, X was 2, a possible cause might be past changes of the local IP-address). After I changed the key's contents to "NetTrans\0000" (and the name of the key it references, which is now HKLM\\System\\Services\\Class\\NetTrans\\0000) it worked. (Editing the registry by hand is a sure way to force a reinstallation of Windows! You have been warned!) ------ snip ------ Another thing to be noted is that the way to obtain the interface address that's being used under Windows 98 (which I consider to be a much "cleaner" approach) should possible under Windows 95 with IE4+ (^= WinInet.DLL), too. - Tim Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S. http://clubs.lycos.com/live/events/september11.asp From huntharo@msu.edu Wed Sep 26 16:07:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 16:07:00 -0000 Subject: FW: CVS Update: xc (branch: trunk) Message-ID: Alexander, I told Paulo about how PROG should be SAMP in xedit/lisp/Imakfile.

Harold, Thank you for your valuable contribution, Strictly, according to the RFC's, the case of local part of an email address (the bit to the left of the "@") should be preserved and that *allows* the local part of the email address to be case sensitive. People who know more about this than me (amongst others the writers of at least the Postfix and QMail mailers I believe) have however noticed that that there are MTA's out there (BITNET Gateways (?) or somesuch) that munge the case of email addresses and therefore most MTA's treat even the local part of an email address case *in*sensitivly to ensure that email that passes through such a "munging" MTA does arrive at the intended recipient. In consequence there is a "CygWin" list, a "cYGwIN" list etc. etc. Enjoy! > Harold Greetings Mark From Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Thu Sep 27 00:44:00 2001 From: Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 00:44:00 -0000 Subject: FW: CVS Update: xc (branch: trunk) References: Message-ID: On Wed, 26 Sep 2001, Harold Hunt wrote: > Alexander, > > I told Paulo about how PROG should be SAMP in xedit/lisp/Imakfile.

For Win95a it seems to work, but Win95b and Win95c will onyl return the loopback device. Searching through the code, I found the reason in winsup/cygwin/net.c in get_95_ifconf, the registry is searched for the key HKLM/Enum/MSTCP/* which seems to represent the TCP/IP configurations. The current implementaion then searches for each entry the keys in Bindings, which represent bindings to services as Client for Windows Networks or File sharing. One of these keys is taken as reference to HKLM/System/ CurrentControlSet/Services/Class/Net/* where the network adapter is store. This seems to work on Win95a, but does often fail on Win95c. The binding to a service has IMO nothing to do with the binding to a NIC, so the connection to the NIC is stored in another way. Since there is a 1-to-1 relation between network cards and TCP configuration, no extra binding needs to be stored. The name for the adapter in HKLM/CurrentControlSet/.../Net is the same as the key in HKLM/Enum/Net/*. I modified the function in net.c and the correct number of interfaces is reported for win95a and win95c. I attached the patch.

From huntharo@msu.edu Thu Sep 27 06:21:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 06:21:00 -0000 Subject: Broken ProgramTargetName () when !CrossCompiling References: <20010927113307.B860@fairlite.demon.co.uk> Message-ID: > I've removed that line now. Good, thanks. > Let's hope someone can fix the other part of > the problem. The real problem is that my update to ComplexProgramTarget_1 is now working just like the default ComplexProgramTarget_1. This is to say, it is wrapping each program in PROGRAMS with ProgramTargetName. What we're seeing is that certain Imakefiles that use ComplexProgramTarget or SimpleProgramTarget are randomly wrapping some of the programs in PROGRAMS with ProgramTargetName and they are putting non-program targets in PROGRAMS (the xmkmf script), thus causing, respectively, double wrapping of program targets (.exe.exe) and wrapping of non-program targets (xmkmf.exe). In other words, some Imakefiles have the assumption that ProgramTargetName () doesn't add anything to the executable name, which is the case on probably every other XFree86 platform except Cygwin. All we have to do is rework a couple Imakefiles to remove that assumption. For example, in xc/config/util/Imakefile, couldn't we just pull 'xmkmf' out of PROGRAMS, and add an 'all:: xmkmf', then remove the ProgramTargetName () wrappers from programs that are in PROGRAMS? I'll test it sometime, but I just want to know if that sounds logical.

Message-ID: Hello, I'm currently testing a 'minimal' installation of XFree86/Cygwin, using only cygwin1.dll, cygz.dll and Xwin.exe, getting everything (including fonts) from a Linux server. It works as expected, but it's _unusable_ slow. Does anyone know the reason and a possible solution [OS is Windows 95]? I can rule out the server side issue, since performance is adequately fast when I use a Linux client with the same settings. TIA, Tim Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S. http://clubs.lycos.com/live/events/september11.asp From kevin@pmimail.com Thu Sep 27 13:36:00 2001 From: kevin@pmimail.com (Kevin Metzger) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 13:36:00 -0000 Subject: newby error message Message-ID: OK all, I found a suggestion to try and run it and send errors to the list on the web sight, so here we go.

I installed Cygwin, Cygwin/Free86, and lesstif on a WIndows 2000 file server. Runing Motif apps there works just fine and we are quite pleased with this. Our goal is to use this file server's contents from a few Windows client workstations so that we do not have to install 0.5GB of stuff on each workstation and rollout changes to each when an update occurs. Also, our Unix-on-Windows apps are stored in Cygwin's /usr/src tree. All of the workstations will see Cygwin on drive K (networked). When I connected on workstation #1, I did the following: (a) Copied cygwin.bat to cygwin_K.bat where the Windows commands are preceded by a "K:" command. I created a small one-time shell script which mounts all of the necessary stuff so that this workstation has its registry updated so that the next invocation of cygwin_K.bat will be just as if the user was running at the file server. So far, so good.

References: Message-ID: Tim, Did a 'normal' install work better than the 'minimal' install? Performance problems with Cygwin/XFree86 do happen on certain machines. I use Windows 2000 with limited third party software and have never had a performance problem. I used an HP Windows Me machine last week loaded with crap software and experienced the worst Cygwin/XFree86 performance I have ever seen. I would call the performance unusable, just as you did. Now, do we know the root of the problem? No. Will we maybe look into it if you, or another person with the same problem, provide us with detailed information? Yes. Will we look into it otherwise? No. Harold > -----Original Message----- > From: cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com > [ mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@sources.redhat.com]On Behalf Of Tim Koenig > Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2001 2:06 PM > To: Cygwin XFree86 list > Subject: Bad performance a common problem? > > > Hello, > > I'm currently testing a 'minimal' installation of XFree86/Cygwin, > using only cygwin1.dll, cygz.dll and Xwin.exe, getting everything > (including fonts) from a Linux server. > > It works as expected, but it's _unusable_ slow. > > Does anyone know the reason and a possible solution [OS is Windows 95]? > > I can rule out the server side issue, since performance is > adequately fast when I use a Linux client with the same settings. > > TIA, Tim > > > > Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S. > http://clubs.lycos.com/live/events/september11.asp From Hongcheang.Quek@ap.sony.com Thu Sep 27 22:28:00 2001 From: Hongcheang.Quek@ap.sony.com (Hongcheang.Quek@ap.sony.com) Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2001 22:28:00 -0000 Subject: XDMCP and solaris Message-ID: <48256AD5.001DF9AE.00@sonis_kt_ng01.sonis.sony.com.sg> Hi Kirk Have you solved your problem already? I am now facing exactly the same problem. I am using Xfree binaries 4.1.0 and is trying to link up Win98 and Solaris 7. However, whenever I run XWin to setup a login session with my solaris workstation, the X server window hangs and the cursor freezes. I have no problem calling my solaris program if I use an xterm to do it. My command : $./XWin -screen 0 1024x756x8 -query workstation_IP -from my_PC_IP & Anyone with any idea? Please advise. Thank you. Quek XDMCP Again To: cygwin-xfree at sourceware dot cygnus dot com Subject: XDMCP Again From: Kirk Maskalenko Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 16:15:47 -0400 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot get Xfree86 XDMCP to work correctly between a Windows 2000 box and Solaris, HP/UX 11.0 or a Linux box. In looking at the archives, lots of others have had similar problems but I haven't seen any solutions to this point. Connecting to a Solaris 7 or 8 (dt) box hangs the server and the cursor locks up. Connecting to a HP/UX 10 or 11 (dt) system hangs the server after the wait cursor shows up and the cursor is alive. Debian Linux appears to need additional configuration to get working as no response occurs. I have looked at the usual suspects such as the Xaccess file and they are configured correctly. Commerical X servers running on other PCs are working fine (except for the Debian (kdm) box). Anyone have success using XDMCP with Solaris, Linux or Hp boxes? What command line options are you using to start the X server on the PC and what did you have to configure on the Unix side? BTW, Running the Xsession manually works fine in all the configurations.

References: Message-ID: <20010928114451.97199.qmail@web20802.mail.yahoo.com> First off, Windows running on the same hardware as a Linux system will always underpreform Linux. To add to that, Cygwin adds a sort of emulation layer, which will "route" unix-like calls to windows calls. By doing that, each call the X server has to do is significantly slower than in Linux. Added, in my experience, the Win 9x kernel handles network messages less efficiently than the Linux kernel. If you are running Win 9x, you might try using nice.exe . You can bundle that with your minimal install... It will allow you to change the priority of XWin.exe, thus _possibly_ improving performance. One thing I have noticed is that the Cygwin/Xfree server works significantly better in Win 2K. I attribute that to the better process model and network handling in the kernel. Using nice.exe in this environment will also increase performance, but be careful... If you "nice" 2 process hogs in 2K, I have seen them compete, and significantly SLOW down responsiveness.

Nice idea, but this can work only for X-apps, non X apps doesn't know the X-forwarding. For these apps better use the related windows tools (ReachOut, ...).

As others have said, this is not possible, and you need other software to accomplish that task with normal Win32-applications. The most common solution is Symantec's PCAnywhere (commercial software), a free, but less powerful alternative could be VNC (see http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ ). Both use a completely different technique than X and are (usually) not as fast. A more sophisticated solution could be Microsoft's Windows NT Terminal Server. I just wanted to point you into the right direction, please don't reply to the list. - Tim Make a difference, help support the relief efforts in the U.S. http://clubs.lycos.com/live/events/september11.asp From SStrublic@Hypercom.com Fri Sep 28 09:36:00 2001 From: SStrublic@Hypercom.com (Steve Strublic) Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2001 09:36:00 -0000 Subject: source from web site?

It is not a question of script, IF XFree86 Organization does not distribute tar-balls of their CVS, we will not too. Sorry! I am against implementing of own rules for source code distribution.
