Currently when using it as an X-Server, if one tries to start Cadence IC design tools on a remote host an error is given and it fails to start: Failed to find 8-plane PseudoColor visual 8-plane I assume means 8-bit. This happens no matter how many colors I have windows set to display and it does not go away if I try to force the depth to 8 bit with "-depth 8". When using Linux instead, if I have X in 16bit color, I get the same error, but not if in 8 bit. Cadence is not the only software I have seen run into problems with this. Another commercial (but smaller in terms of sales) IC design tool will start, but comes up with very distorted graphics, including pull down menus that are doubled up, so you see two of each at the top of the window, along with horrible colors. This does not occur when using Exceed (or Linux). This software also is not helped by setting windows depth to 8 bit, along with X's depth to 8 bit, the results are the same. I personally do not know much about how X handles its colors. Though I have always thought it was in need of a major rework. However, right now I think it would be good to get the Cygwin port working the same as the Linux version when it comes to this issue. Does anyone know anything about this?

I learned everything I needed to know to write the current implementation in no more than 5 hours. It should take you much less time, as the code is heavily commented.

The X Server shutdown can either be caused by the user clicking the close button in the upper right-hand corner of the X Server window, or it can happen by the last X Client exiting and causing the X Server to reset. The latter case is particularly important to catch... otherwise Xlib will call IOErrorHandler which must call exit (). You may get the clever idea of just writing an IOErrorHandler that does not call exit (), however, Xlib will call exit () for you if your IOErrorHandler does return. Thus, that clever idea doesn't work. There may be a way to get a DestroyNotify event or something similar to be sent to the xwinclip client, however, the following mask does not cause the desired result: StructureNotifyMask | PropertyChangeMask | SubstructureNotifyMask In fact, that same event mask on the root window does not cause an event to occur before the X Server shuts down. I'm at a loss for anymore ideas, and I really need an X guru to step forward and tell me a way to get notified that the X Server is about to shutdown. Harold P.S. It should be self-evident that xwinclip cannot be integrated into the X Server if, upon X Server reset, xwinclip will call exit (), because then you would have an X Server that exited upon every reset...

The problem here is when the X Server exits or resets while XNextEvent () is blocking... in that case our X Client (xwinclip) gets no notification that the X Server is exiting or resetting and Xlib calls exit () for the X Client.

I now use fvwm2, which is very robust and very fast. It is also extremely configurable, although you do this by editing a text file rather than through the GUI-style interface offered by GNOME/Enlightenment & KDE. As far as I remember, fvwm2 compiled from source with no problems under Cygwin/XFree. If you need a sample config file, I think that there are several available if you follow the 'Links' link from the fvwm home page ( http://www.fvwm.org/ ). James.

There are many commercial X servers out there that do it, but XFree with Cygwin does not. There are some works going on by some very generous programmers to get the X Server working with the Windows Native GDI, but it will be some time before that is working, and the Rootless mode will not be a first priority. The problem is that in it's current state, the X server uses a basic frame buffer approach, and draws the frame buffer to the windows display. In order to go to rootless mode, all draw commands need to be done with the GDI.

This problem is application specific. The application in question needs to provide the specific Cygwin DLL version it requires. The Cygwin community is not responsible for maintaining or providing unknown third party versions of the Cygwin DLL. Also, to be complaint with the Cygwin open-source license, it would need to provide the source to the version of the Cygwin DLL that the application uses. Since I don't even know the name of the application, I can't say whether this is already being done or not. If not though, it is in violation of the license terms. The original poster should contact the distributor of the application with this problem. This list is for questions and issues about Cygwin as distributed by Cygwin community.

However on running XWin manually, using the .bat file or the .sh script, it the window pops up for a second and then closes. There are no error messages given. Is there any log file I can look at? Or maybe there's a debug version of XWin that I can try without having to recompile it myself... The only installation thing I might have got wrong was answering No when it asked me if I wanted the emulated framebuffer engine (or something like that, I can't remember the exact terminology). Thanks for any advice -- I'd love to get this running so I can try writing an X11 port of wxWindows using Cygwin. Julian -- Red Hat UK Ltd, Unit 200 Rustat House, 62 Clifton Road, Cambridge, UK.

When I make a SSH-connection with Secure-CRT to a Linux-SSH-Server, I can forwart X11 to my local X-Server Running on xfree under cygwin! That works fine! But for example, I open in the ssh-bash an "xterm &" and the xterm opens on my localy xfree/cygwin, I have a different language in the xterm-bash. I cannot user the "??????" etc. When I make this with a booted linux on my side instead of windows and make a ssh and the x11-forwarding to my local linux-xfree, I have the german umlauts etc. How Do I get this running under cygwin?

Huh? There are FAQs on the Cygwin site. If you have reviewed the site, you've found the FAQs.

However, has anybody tried the other way around -- having Windows applications appearing on a Linux desktop, the Windows applications all being run through a specific Windows (NT) based application server? For example, imagine a network running almost entirely Linux, but needing to run a few legacy Windows applications. What I would like is for the user (sitting in front of Linux box with X) to be able to click on an icon for a Windows application, causing the application to start running on a Windows (NT) based application server. The program would entirely run on the Windows server, but the screen output would be sent over the network so it could be controlled by the user sitting on their Linux/X machine.

I'm not an expert on this but these are the options I'm aware of. use Windows NT Terminal Server, some apps can be fiddly to get running though, not sure on prices, probably the cheapest option. Use RDesktop (www.rdesktop.org) to view on the clients. Use Win2k Server (or XP), these include the Terminal Services technology (Hydra) by default. Don't know about compatability with rdesktop. Use Citrix Metaframe in combination with the above, this has it's own much more functional Unix (and I presume Linux) client. Another option is VNC, but this is only single user. You could dedicate a few machines to running your app, each only allowing 1 connection, then the users could use whichever app server is free (theres a browsing tool somewhere in the addons section of the VNC website).

However, have a look at VNC. The original version is at: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ There is a low bandwidth version: http://www.tightvnc.org/ and a supported version: http://www.tridiavnc.com/ This will at least partly do what you want (although only for one user at a time, due to windows single user structure).

There is a little project in the works, called xwinx (www.xwinx.org), which is like VNC, but takes the entire desktop through the X protocol. (It doesnt require a VNC client, only an X server) I have looked at the code, and for fun, poked at it a bit. I have gotten it to display a single window, instead of a full desktop. Possibly, this type of idea could be extended, and wrapped in a nice little spawining script, where if you wanted to run something... say MS Word, you could ship MS Word across your network to your X server. Of course, this means some coding to get it to work, and may not be extremely feasable, but it could be more of what you are looking for.

I had a look on the RDesktop site and it supports Win2k as the server. For NT4 you'll need NT Terminal Server. I'm not sure about Win2k, I know 2k Server includes Terminal Services, but I'm not sure if this is enabled for multiple logons, I'd guess it is though. You could also use citrix metaframe, but it'll probably cost quite a bit more (but more functionality, such as sound across the network).

I misread the FAQ thinking it recommended using WinZip to solve the problem... then having done so, I re-read the FAQ properly :-) I then made all my mounts binary: / -> c:/apps/cygwin /c -> c:/ /bin -> c:/apps/cygwin/bin /usr/lib -> c:/apps/cygwin/lib Now when I run Xinstall, it complains that it can't create symlinks.

I'm guessing it is a problem with xterm. You can also, I think, run the latest version of Cygwin's 'rxvt' as an X Client.

Can Xfree86 do this? I went The simple answer is yes. You can use XDMCP to open a remote session of KDE using Cygwin/XFree86. The process is documented at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-session.html However, the answer in your case will have to do with whether XDMCP is enabled on your mainframe and on whether you have access to enable it if it is disabled. There is a lot of information about XDMCP available on the Internet. Look in the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ or seach Google for 'XDMCP'.

I changed it to take the taskbar name of the window, and used the window's DC instead. And then there were a few other size things, so it was looking at the size of the window, instead of the desktop. I dont have them any more, as they were just my own little experimentation if such a concept could work. I determined : Yes, a concept could work, as long as no other window were blocking the window you wanted to display.... I would guess you could fix this so it woulnt depend on that, but I never looked that far... I have since deleted the source code... It wouldnt be that hard to do something like this, I would immagine, but I dont know. I also got xwinx to display across to another Cygwin X server... just dont try to display from your desktop to your fullsized windows server... You will get nested image updates, causing a very unhappy and confusing display :) Ok... enough rambling.

I need the problem to be described in more detail before I can add an entry to the FAQ. I need to know how to reproduce the problem (even though I don't have an AIX machine), I need to know who is affected, and I need to know the exact command-line for the remedy (and I mean exact!). (For example, 'use the -kb parameter' does not help me because I don't know if you need to pass options to -kb, etc.) Here's a couple of questions: 1) What keyboard layout is AIX expecting? In other words, does this happen on AIX when using US-English as the default keyboard layout, or does this only happen when AIX is using a non-US keyboard layout? 2) What keyboard layout is the Windows machine using? In other words, does this happen regardless of the keyboard layout on the Windows machine, or does this only occur when the Windows machine is using a non-US layout? (I'm asking this because I saw AltGr mentioned.) 3) Are there any links to web sites that discuss this problem in more detail? Or, is this only a problem when using XFree86 on Windows? Thanks in advance, Harold P.S. I'll most likely put your name on the FAQ entry if you contribute enough information for me to document the problem.

I looked up DirectDraw error 8876024e, which is named: DDERR_UNSUPPORTEDMODE. Basically I'm going to guess that your video card drivers are not very cooperative with DirectDraw. The most likely solution would be to try upgrading your video drivers and make sure that you have DirectX 8.1 installed. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ to upgrade DirectX 8.1 (and to get lots of other Windows bug fixes, etc.). Let us know if new drivers fix the problem.

I've got 3 W2k systems attempting to connect to a couple Solaris 8 boxes. One system connected immediately, without any fuss using the basic: XWin.exe -query -from When I attempt this with the other two, the program hangs shortly after displaying the black screen and hourglass cursor. Only right-click-close or task manager will kill the app. After reading a few posts and the FAQ (on Sun's lack of 24-bit color depth support), I noticed that the two that didn't work have video cards that only support 8, 16 and 24 bit color depth -- while the working system supported and was set to 32 bit. Changing the other two systems to 16 or 8 bit didn't help....same hang. Replacing the video card on one with an NVidia with 32-bit support didn't work either...same hang. I also attempted the -fp parameter even though it didn't appear to be a font issue. The logs I'm familiar with (through previous postings) don't seem to provide much information...and look nearly identical in both the working and hanging case...with, of course the major exception that the log stops after the hang while the working system logs additional info.

However, the problem was only corrected in the Server Test Series and in Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0. The problem was probably still present in Cygwin/XFree86 4.1.0 and I know it was present in all earlier versions. Which version of Cygwin/XFree86 are you running?

Is this what you felt shouldn't happen anymore? Or just that I > shouldn't have to run it full screen? Well, Windows doesn't allow each program to run at a different bit depth, so if you want Cygwin/XFree86 to run in 8 bit color in windowed mode, you have to run Windows in 8 bit color. The -depth 8 parameter only applies when -fullscreen is used because we can change the bit depth for the screen when we are running in a DirectDraw-based fullscreen mode. Does that make sense? So it makes perfect sense that your 8 bit application would fail when running Cygwin/XFree86 in windowed mode with Windows in 16 bit color. What I was saying is that if you run Windows in 8 bit color, then Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0 should work just fine with your 8 bit color applications. So, please run Windows in 8 bit color and let me know what happens. Harold From DavidLWynn@yahoo.com Sat Feb 9 05:16:00 2002 From: DavidLWynn@yahoo.com (David L.

My name is David Wynn and I am offering you the opportunity to own your very own business. This business requires that you have a computer, be familiar with Internet/Email functions and know how to copy/cut and paste. As to the salary, it's totally up to you, as you will be running your own business, the sky is the limit. What you will see represents a completely legal money making business that anyone can run out of their home to generate a significant residual income. You will receive full instructions and I will always be available to help you and answer any questions you may have. This is not a chain letter, money game, tele-com scheme or any of the multitudes of dubious "business" offers that come through your e-mail box. This business will easily generate a residual income of $2000 to $6000 every month with only a part-time commitment (about 10 hours per week). A full-time commitment (about 30 hours per week), based on statistics gathered from my current clients (and my own personal experience), will translate into an income of $10,000 or more per month! To prove my sincerity and confidence in this opportunity, there is NO CHARGE to join. You will receive all the information to get started plus the first month's information package ($90 value). If by a remote chance you are not satisfied with the program after the first month and want to discontinue, you may by all means do so, and I will not contact you again. But on the other hand, if you are satisfied with the program and wish to continue after the first month, that is when you would have to pay $90 for the next month's information package. Since you DO NOT pay anything until after you are already earning an incredible residual income, you have absolutely nothing to lose. *********************************************************************************************************************************** IMPORTANT *********************************************************************************************************************************** If the above opportunity interests you and you would like more specific information about this business, please contact me at: DavidLWynn@yahoo.com and type "SEND INFO" in the Subject Line.

Recalling what I once read on the mailing list: the X11 library is either not referenced or the -lX11 switch is at a position. Checking the archives of the cygwin-xfree mailinglist will give you a lot of exacter explanations than I can recall.

Then xdmcp is querying you host explicitly and with xhost+ you gave it the right to access it.

Thanks! No. Not via xdmcp. But you can use ssh to build an other session managment. - Create RSA/DSA keys for ssh. This will allow you to connect to the linux host without providing a password (but the private RSA key) - start X with export WINDOWMANAGER=gnome xinit /usr/bin/ssh -X remotehost .xsession -- /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin :0 This starts the Xserver adn connects via ssh to the remote host and starts a X session with the local server as output device. Maybe you have to give some extra options to .xsession or use another startup file like .xinitrc or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc or even better /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 4.

Thanks! On slow machines the may be a significant performance loss. But especially over slow networks (10mbit) the delay from the network is large enough not to burn all cpu power ;).

Via GetProcAddress you get the symbol from the dll /* Try to get the DirectDrawCreate address */ fpDirectDrawCreate = GetProcAddress (hmodDirectDraw, "DirectDrawCreate"); and in line 110, you the call the function. ddrval = (fpDirectDrawCreate*)(NULL, &lpdd, NULL); I replace this call with ddrval = DirectDrawCreate(NULL, &lpdd, NULL); which causes the symbol DirectDrawCreate to be linked explicitly into the code at link-time instead of the first variant, where it is linked at run- time. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 4.

First, some new info -- I accidentally left a "hung" session open overnight and returned to find the CDE login window! It turns out that it *does* work, but takes roughly 15 - 20minutes before the actual login window appears on the "non-working" systems. Additionally, some apps don't appear to work properly even after the login succeeds. However, if I use the same login on the working system, all apps work as expected. The error messages lead me to believe it is a font issue of some kind....which appears to be supported by looking at a successful login vs. a hung one...the line it's hung up on appears to do with fonts. On Solaris 8, we are connecting through the server process dtlogin. When running that in debug mode, I find that the difference between the "hanging" machines and the working one is: -- snip -- (chi70:0) setLang() - Current Lang = C (chi70:0) setLang() - Desired Lang = C (chi70:0) setLang() - Locale has NOT changed (chi70:0) LANG=C (chi70:0) Source(): /usr/dt/config/Xsetup This is where it "hangs"...when I connect with the working system, it is identical (except for IP address) but continues after the "Source()" line as follows: --snip-- (chi54:0) ApplyFontPathMods() for chi54.chicago.jgsullivan.com:0 (chi54:0) Foreign display (chi54:0) setLang () (chi54:0) setLang() - Current Lang = C (chi54:0) setLang() - Desired Lang = C (chi54:0) setLang() - Locale has NOT changed (chi54:0) LANG=C (chi54:0) Greeter environment: . . . --snip-- Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, it has to be done via GetProcAddress because the DLL containing DirectDrawCreate may not exist on a machine, which would cause XWin.exe not to run at all, rather than for it to run with the GDI engine. I basically implemented the process described in the MSDN Library and Platform SDK about how to check that DirectDraw is present. I'm not sure that there is any other way to do this.

Is your AIX machine configured to expect the Czech keyboard layout? Or, does your AIX machine expect a US keyboard layout? In fact, I barely understand how the various keyboard layout systems work... nor do I have time to learn the intricacies of them.

So we have a bigger problem. We already link to ddraw.dll. Cygcheck reported for the old version: Found: .\XWin-debug.exe .\XWin-debug.exe C:\WINNT\System32\DDRAW.dll C:\WINNT\System32\MSVCRT.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\USER32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\GDI32.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\DCIMAN32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\ADVAPI32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\RPCRT4.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\SHELL32.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\SHLWAPI.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\COMCTL32.DLL c:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll c:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll But on the other hand, Even the win95a (the oldest win32 os I have around) had this ddraw.dll (V 4.08.00.0400) . And no one has ever reported that the dll was missing. The only difference between proc = GetProcAddress (proc*)(...) and proc(...) is that the second does not need the dll with the symbol on startup. And even if the symbol is not found in the dll, we still have the null-check and can (have to) skip the call to DirectDrawCreate. > I basically implemented the process described in the MSDN Library and > Platform SDK about how to check that DirectDraw is present.

I just #if0'd the calls to DirectDrawCreate and DirectDrawCreateClipper in winpfbdd.c, winshaddd.c, and winshadddnl.c with the result that cygcheck now reports: $ cygcheck XWin.exe Found: .\XWin.exe .\XWin.exe C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL C:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll C:\WINNT\System32\GDI32.dll C:\WINNT\System32\USER32.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\SHELL32.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\RPCRT4.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\SHLWAPI.DLL C:\WINNT\System32\msvcrt.dll C:\WINNT\System32\COMCTL32.DLL Notice that ddraw.dll is not linked. That is the way it should be. We need to replace the direct calls to DirectDrawCreate and DirectDrawCreateClipper with the method using GetProcAddress. That way we'll be able to safely run on machines that do not have a dummy version of ddraw.dll (on the off chance that this would ever happen). > The only difference between > > proc = GetProcAddress > (proc*)(...) > > and > > proc(...) > > is that the second does not need the dll with the symbol on > startup.

Did you mean to say that the first method does not need the dll with the symbol on startup? The intention was to prevent ddraw.dll from being linked, so the idea was to use the first method. I messed up. Oops. In any case, w32api shouldn't be doing something that breaks the GetProcAddress method, as that is a perfectly valid method.

I should have given more details: I meant managing inbox *without having to open each message*, i.e. just by looking at the Subject. I am using Netscape, and in the subwindow listing folder contents, the 'sender' of a message is the *real* sender, not cygwin-xfree. Hence, one has to open a message to know it came from cygwin-xfree. Greetings, -- Michel Bardiaux Peaktime Belgium S.A.

I am a new user of Cygwin/XFree86. It is great to have all the power of unix at home without fighting with the rest of the family because I have substituted Windows by Linux!. Thanks to all the people involved in this project. I have some questions and reports of extrange behavior. First, my system is 686 ; Windows 95a. cygwin.dll 1.3.9-1 (last update 2002/02/07) , XFree86 is of Jan 2002. I am using twm. 1)Good news: Some time ago I reported that if in .xinitrc I put 2 or 3 of xterms followed by twm there was a confusion and many times the bash shells were assigned to the wrong xterms and/or did no appear at all (in ps they appear assigned to no terminal). This extrange behavior apparently disappeared after I updated cygwin.dll (my previous one was of Dec 2001). 2)Bad news: After updating cygwin.dll, .xinitrc stop working because xmodmap did not recognize "!" as a comment character in the .Xmodmap file. This behavior of xmodmap appeared only inside the .xinitrc shell script (or any other shell script). I reported this to the cygwin mailing list. Someone told me to try bash instead of sh in the script and indeed it worked fine. What I then did was to replace /bin/sh.exe with a link sh.exe->bash.exe. Is this extrage behavior of sh "normal"? Can the change I performed produce any kind of problems? 3)While compiling ghostview I got a message from gcc complaining that the type of sys_errlist was different in sys/errno.h and in /X11/Xos.h (also inside some internal files of ghostview). In errno.h: #ifdef __CYGWIN__ extern __IMPORT const char * const sys_errlist[}; In Xos.h: extern char *sys_errlist[]; I am not an expert of gcc, but it seems to me that the second "const" in errno.h is wrong. I did the following changes: In errno.h: extern __IMPORT const char * sys_errlist[]; In Xos.h: extern const char *sys_errlist[]; With these changes ghostview compiled. Did I do the right thing? 4) Most of the times the Cygwin+XFree SERVER fails to process some particular actions related to the mouse buttons. I have seen this in in xterm, where the CTRL-MouseButton menus usually do not appear (the bell rings). Also in ghostview there are some menu buttons (File, etc..) that usually do not function. I say usually because occasionally they do function correctly. I have no idea of when or why this happens. I do know that the problem is due to the server and not to the client programs because: i) the same programs behave correctly using the commertial X-WinPro server running locally, ii) a xterm, that I know is fine, running remotely from a SunOS machine presents the same problem. Have other people observed similar behavior, or it is happening only to me? Has anybody any idea of what is going on?

First error, telling gcc which libs to use have to be in the end of the link command, so instead of "gcc -lX11 foo.c" it should be "gcc foo.c -lX11", I have seen this 'problem' many times now, why do you have the libs first?? Inheritance from VisualC/C++? Secondly well the X11 libs is in /usr/X11R6/lib, so that should be in the linkpath yep.. If the two above comments don't help you, add -lXext -lICE -lXaw and maybe -lXmu to the link line. /Andy -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty!

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <20020218214246.81711.qmail@web20806.mail.yahoo.com> You are on the right track by using -L/usr/X11R6/lib as your library. Also, -lX11 is correct, but you are missing some others... For instance, XDrawPoint is located in (I think) libXaw.a, so you also need -lXaw . I have noticed that some X calls are located in libraries that you wouldnt normally expect on other *nix platforms. Just keep adding libraries, until you have no more dependencies. Very often, for a smiple X app, I often find libraries such as ICE and SM are also needed. The way I find the lib to use, I use `nm /usr/X11RC/lib/*.a > ~/nmout`. This finds the symbols that the libraries use, and puts it to a text file. I then search for the symbol gcc is complaining about, and then search up for the library associated with it. There might be a better way, but this works pretty well for me.

Message-ID: Hi, we'd like our users to use our product with the Cygwin/XFree86 server. We tried it with good results, but we have the persistent problem that our users sometimes accidentally click the close button on the Windows-window of the X server, which results in shutting down the server as well as all the X clients. We'd like to prevent that. Is there a way to disable that close button? I tried -nowinkill, and it changed the behavior of Alt-F4, but not that of the close button. Running the server in fullscreen mode would be an option, but we'd like our users to be able to work with Windows applications (such as WinWord and Excel) at the same time, and in that case, it would not be convenient for them to constantly switch between the fullscreen X server and the Windows applications. So preferably, we'd like our users to be able to keep using the X server in windowed mode.

Check if NumLock or CapsLock (or some other control key) is on.

Message-ID: In regards to some users noticing duplicate key strokes upon switching into and out of Cygwin/XFree86... Do the MI keyboard input routines have some sort of automatic key repeat feature? I have noticed the following behavior with the Native GDI engine, which is extremely slow: 1) Open an xterm 2) Run 'xdpyinfo' to generate a few screens of output 3) Scroll xterm to the top of the output 4) Type 'exit' in the xterm. This causes xterm to automatically scroll back to the user input line, which takes a few seconds. 5) Notice that the xterm command line is 'eexit' not 'exit'. 6) This isn't a problem with xterm echoing part of the command late... because if you press enter you get an error about 'eexit' not being found. 7) A similar sort of behavior can be exhibited by typing 'ls' followed by enter. In this case it takes 'ls' a second or two to do the directory listing; when the listing is finished the xterm display two command lines instead of just one (an extra enter causes the first one to execute nothing, so a second one then appears). I believe that this behavior is due to the MI keyboard input code looking at the lag between the 'e' and 'enter' presses and releases, then it probably is dividing by some sort of key-repeat interval to determine how many key strokes to actually send. This would also cause the extra keystrokes on switching into and out of Cygwin/XFree86 that some people have noticed. Perhaps this functionality isn't part of MI at all... rather, it may be part of a lower level that reads the input event queue that MI generates. The VNC project's method of handling user input is starting to make a lot more sense: 1) Ignore WM_KEYUP/WM_SYSKEYUP messages. 2) In WM_KEYDOWN/WM_SYSKEYDOWN messages - discard mode key presses (Alt, Ctrl, AltGr, Shift, etc.) 3) In WM_KEYDOWN/WM_SYSKEYDOWN messages - read the mode key states, send down events for each pressed mode key, send the actual key down event, send the actual key up event, then send key up events for each of the pressed mode keys. That system prevents the delay between processing the key down and key up events from causing duplicate key presses when the server is very busy between the key being pushed and the key being released. What I need to know is: 1) Does this make sense to the other developers? 2) Is there actually some mechanism in X that is causing the simulated key repeats? 3) Is there a way to disable any such mechanism in [3]? 4) Is someone willing to rework the keyboard input code to more closely follow the VNC input code?

In-Reply-To: <20020219213248.B2658@fairlite.demon.co.uk> Message-ID: Alan, I tried that just now. It didn't make any difference... which makes perfect sense. If you think about it, when a Windows message (keyup/keydown) is processed, it gets removed from the Windows message queue, regardless of whether X actually processes the resulting input event before the next Windows messages is read. I mean, you could pump the Windows messages queue in any location you wanted to and it would never cause a processed message to be processed again...

The site you got these instructions from (I guess http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley/1596/en/cygwin.html) does not say whether any of the packages pass their own test suites. In the case of ORBit this is a serious issue because the idl compiler generated by compiling unpatched sources is badly broken on cygwin, and so the tests do not even build correctly. The problem is that memory alignment of multiword datatypes on Windows does not fit the pattern expected by the ORBit source code. So, for example, any IDL interface containing a double will be incorrectly compiled. I have patches for ORBit and most of the other Gnome libraries that produce DLLs rather than static libraries, and pass their test suites. Unfortunately, this does not guarantee that they are correct. I have just one library left to get working, then I will be able to build a reasonable selection of apps and use them to find any remaining bugs (and I am sure there will be many). The problem library in gnome-vfs, where there appears to be problems with thread mutexes, although I really have not been able to debug this at all. Still, the control-center and gnome-core build OK so I can get a Gnome desktop up, even if I am getting lots of errors generated. Most of gnome-games builds and runs OK too, so there's some reward for my efforts at least! I would like to make my work available to the cygwin community at large, hopefully so that someone who understands cygwin thread management better can get a handle on the faults with gnome-vfs. As this is just a hobby and I get no more than a few hours a month to work on it, I would be happy to hand over to anyone who is interested to take on proper maintenance of these packages and can make them available on the web. Please reply to this mailing list, *not* to me personally.

Some gnome-vfs tests fail with various errors, which one I get seems to be non-deterministic (ie I guess there's a/some race condition(s) so different threads win each time?) Sometimes I get: GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 55 (g_mutex_new_posix_impl): error Device or resource busy during pthread_mutex_init ((pthread_mutex_t *) result, ((void *)0)) Sometimes I get a segmentation fault Sometimes the test completes ok Failures appear at different points in the program, so I can't even say that the "resource busy" always occurs at X and segmentation fault always occurs at Y. When running in gdb the debug symbol table becomes corrupted, so the function names it reports do not match the file:lineno reported - so the program is clearly trashing memory on its way. I *think* that a mutex is not being set properly, or is being corrupted when the memory managment error kicks in, so that two threads attempt to free the same memory, or one uses memory that is already freed by another. All guesswork though, because I have not been able to trace the execution in gdb.

There may be :}. I'm not concerned if there is or is not, but rather with the fault you see - when we examine that we can lay blame :}. > Sometimes I get: > GThread-ERROR **: file gthread-posix.c: line 55 > (g_mutex_new_posix_impl): > error Device or resource busy during pthread_mutex_init > ((pthread_mutex_t *) > result, ((void *)0)) What does gthread-posix.c line 55 look like. > Sometimes I get a segmentation fault Can you duplicate this with gdb, or with strace, or with JIT debugging (see how-debuging-works.txt in the cygwin source directory.You'll need a debug cygwin1.dll for tracking this down. > Sometimes the test completes ok > > Failures appear at different points in the program, so I > can't even say that > the "resource busy" always occurs at X and segmentation fault > always occurs > at Y. Thats ok.

Optimisation can also cause that, I wouldn't assume that the symbol table is necessarily corrupt.

Your ZoneAlarm software is specifically mentioned in the FAQ entry that I sent you. ZoneAlarm makes some changes that it does not reverse when you uninstall it.

You need to select them within the Cygwin Setup, as I don't think they are installed by default. Run the Cygwin setup.exe and have a bit more of a look around. Rasjid.

Message-ID: <3C7668DE.90C6BD87@hotmail.com> I've been using cygwin/xfree for some time and thought it was high time I made a contribution. I checked out your online to-do list (http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/todo.html) and decided the first item, "Release all keys when Cygwin/XFree86 loses focus", was a reasonable place to start. I believe I have arrived at a working solution. So, the question is: How do I submit my fix for review by the developers? (FYI. I only touched 1 file, xc/programs/Xserver/xwin/winkeybd.c). P.S. Perhaps this to-do item is moot in light of your recent note about overhauling the keyboard event handling to more closely resemble the VNC approach?

Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to spend my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa ..... 3 weeks later the money started to come in. My first month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re- entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again.

When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports.You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00. Within a few days you will receive, vie e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk in case something happen to your computer. IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than what is instructed below in step '' 1 through 6 '' or you will loose out on majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works, you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it in any way, it will NOT work !!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will not work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!! 1. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name & address of the person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. 2.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5. 3.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4. 4.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3. 5.... Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2 6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address ACCURATELY! **** Take this entire letter, with the modified list > of names, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES. Save this on a disk as well just in case if you loose any data. To assist you with marketing your business on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will provide you with invaluable marketing information which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally, where to find thousands of free classified ads and much more. There are 2 Primary methods to get this venture going: METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see how it goes, and we will assume You and those involved send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume that the mailing receive only a 0.2% response (the response could be much better but lets just say it is only 0.2%. Also many people will send out hundreds of thousands e-mails instead of only 5,000 each). Continuing with this example, you send out only 5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2%response, that is only 10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded by sending out 5,000 e-mail each for a total of 50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2% responded with orders. That's 100 people responded and ordered Report # 2. Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to that is 1000 orders for Report # 3. Those 1000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2% response to that is 10,000 orders for Report # 4. Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e- mails. The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for Report # 5. THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH= $500,000.00 [half million). Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50 + 2..... $500 + 3....$5,000 + 4.... $50,000 + 5....$500,000 ....Grand Total=$555,550.00. NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND FIGUREOUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY ! REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE RDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILEDTO. Dare to think for a moment what would happen if everyone or half or even one/4th of those people mailed 100,000e- mails each or more? There are over 150 million people on the Internet worldwide and counting. Believe me,many people will do just that, and more! METHOD # 2 : BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET. Advertising on the net is very very inexpensive and there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise. Placing a lot of free ads on the Internet will easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest you start with Method # 1 then add METHOD # 2 as you go along. For every $5 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the Report they ordered. That's it. Always provide same day service on all orders if possible. This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out, with your name and address on it, will be prompt because they can not advertise until they receive the report. AVAILABLE REPORTS!!! ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY. Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for each Report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least 2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of paper, Write the NUMBER & the NAME of the Report you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your name and postal address. PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR THESE REPORTS NOW : REPORTS # 1: The Insider's Guide to Advertising for Free on the Net Order Report #1 from: Bradley Myers 2376 69th Ave. NW Parshall, N.D. 58770 USA __________________________________________________ REPORT # 2: The Insider's Guide to Sending Bulk e- mail on the Net Order Report # 2 from: Xun Qi 240 Donald Ave. Apt2 Toronto,On M6M 1K6 Canada __________________________________________________ REPORT # 3: Secret to Multilevel marketing on the net Order Report # 3 from : Peter Hung 1474 Queen St. W #205 Toronto,On M6K1M4 Canada __________________________________________________ REPORT # 4: "How to Become a Millionaire Utilizing MLM & the Net" Order Report # 4 from: William Townsend 526 N. 13th St. La Porte, TX 77571 USA __________________________________________________ REPORT #5: "How to Send Out 0ne Million e-mails for Free" Order Report # 5 from: Guy Gauthier 17205 Eric Dr. Prairieville, LA 70769 U.S.A __________________________________________________ $$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$ Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: If you do not receive at least 10 orders for Report #1 within 2 weeks, continue sending e-mails until you do. After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks after that you should receive 100 orders or more for REPORT #2. If you did not, continue advertising or sending e-mails until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for Report # 2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in ! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a Different report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND OUT ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT to the income you can generate from this business. FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM: you have just received information that can give you financial freedom for the rest of your life, with NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can make more money in the next few weeks and months than you have ever imagined. Follow the program EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way. It works exceedingly well as it is now. Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report after you have put your name and address in Report #1 and moved others to #2 ........# 5 as instructed above. One of the people you send this out to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your name will be on every one of them. Remember though, the more you send out the more potential customers you will reach. So my friend, I have given you the ideas, information, materials and opportunity to become financially independent. IT IS UP TO YOU NOW MORE TESTIMONIALS!!! ''My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received this program I grumbled to Jody about receiving junk mail''. I made fun of the whole thing,spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I ''knew'' it wouldn't work. Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and a few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old '' I told you so'' on her when the thing didn't work. Well, the laugh was on me! Within 3 weeks she had received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she had received a total of $ 147,200.00 all cash! I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her ''hobby''. Mitchell Wolf M.D., Chicago, Illinois ''Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back''. '' I was surprised when I found my medium size post office box crammed with orders. I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks. The nice thing about this deal is that it does not matter where people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return and so big." Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I should have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed again by someone else.........11 months passed then it luckily came again.....I did not delete this one! I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the money came within 22 weeks." Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y. ''It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money with little cost to you. I followed the simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the money started to come in. My first month I made $20,560.00 and by the end of the third month my total cash count was $362,840.00. Life is beautiful, Thanx to internet.".

It is not an easy task but I understand that the complexity of Microsoft Windows does not help. I followed most of the indications to have LPRng installed but I was stopped by the owner rules when I tried checkpc in order to get the corrrect seteuid I got the following SYSTEM @MICRO /usr/local/sbin/checkpc -V -f micro seteuid_wrapper: seteuid() failed !! Not owner micro is the name of the machine I need to print from micro on a remote postscript machine which is shared and available on micro I compiled LPRng as indicated after installation all commands are set to Admin and group none. I have in /etc/passwd and /etc/group the two following lines respectively daemon:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:1:1:U-MICRO\daemon,S-1-5-21-1711220169-380859561-925700815-1001:/home/daemon:/bin/bash daemon:S-1-5-32-545:1 When I configure LPRng with the various uid possibilities. I always end with files belonging to Administ and group none. If I do lpstat I get Printer 'HPLaserJ@localhost' -cannot open connection - Connection refused Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol. and accepts connections from this port and from nonprivileged port . I can print from MICRO on this remote printer. under Windows NT I would appreciate some help to circumvent the system problem and be able to print from a cygwin-Xfree window.

Because you can't configure where the logfile is opened. The log is not written to stdout or stderr but to a file opened via fopen("/tmp/XWin.log") I have some test binaries for download where the log is written to stderr but if some errors occur there the other people from the mailinglist won't be able to help you. 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 Cary.Jamison@powerquest.com Wed Feb 27 08:21:00 2002 From: Cary.Jamison@powerquest.com (Cary Jamison) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 08:21:00 -0000 Subject: Log filling up Message-ID: Modifying the code to put the log in /dev/null certainly doesn't seem like an attractive solution.

It seems pretty useless. The message is mostly useless. The message was put there as sort of a "heads up" in case someone every reported seeing the message... then we would know that we need to implement the function. However, something on your system is apparently causing bogus mouse movement messages to be sent to Cygwin/XFree86. I think the better solution would be to fix whatever program is sending the bogus mouse messages (probably goScreen). > It would seem like a good idea to be able to configure where the > log file goes, though. That's actually pretty difficult to do because there are several log file messages that get printed before we see whether or not there is a -log command line parameter being passed. Thus, we would have to allocate some temporary storage for log messages printed before the -log parameter, then redirect those messages as necessary if we see a -log parameter, or else dump those messages to the screen if we don't see a -log parameter. Now, I don't know about you, or anyone else on this project, but I'm busting my ass on my last semester of my senior year of college. In other words, you'll have to convince someone else to fix this problem for you, or you'll have to fix it yourself. (Of course, the easy solution is to download the source as in the Cygwin/XFree86 Contributor's Guide, goto to file xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/wincursor.c http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/wincursor.c, #if 0 the ErrorF message that is bothering you, then compile according to the instructions in the Contributor's Guide... we're talking *maybe* 30 minutes of your time) > I never like seeing such things hard > coded in a program.

I think I'll play around and try to determine what is causing the message, be it goScreen or whatever, first. I'd rather make this change than never have any log output by redirecting the log to /dev/null. Of course, things always take longer than expected - I'm sure I'm missing some other cygwin stuff to be able to do a quick 30 minute change (like gcc, for one). Wait, I could just do a binary edit and change that string to null, like Alexander suggested I do to the "/tmp/XWin.log" string to change it to "/dev/null\0...". Outputting a null string shouldn't fill up the log. I'll give that a try after I figure out if goScreen or what is the culprit. > Harold Cary --- Cary Jamison Cary.Jamison@PowerQuest.com (801) 705-8685 voice (801) 705-4685 fax From Cary.Jamison@powerquest.com Wed Feb 27 17:04:00 2002 From: Cary.Jamison@powerquest.com (Cary Jamison) Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 17:04:00 -0000 Subject: Update on log filling up Message-ID: Well, I was wrong. I thought I was getting tons of winCursorOffScreen () - hmm... messages in my log file, when actually the culprit is winShadowUpdateDDNL () - IDirectDrawSurface4_Blt () failed: 887601c2 The thing is my log was so big I could not tail or more it. I was using head and saw a few of the "hmm" messages and assumed those were the problem. Turns out I always get those occasionally as I move the mouse around, but they're not a significant problem. Also, the problem is not related to the virtual desktop manager (goScreen) that I am using. (And I do still get "hmm"s whether or not I am running goScreen.) These messages appear when I press CTL-ALT-DEL to get to the XP "Lock Workstation" button and any X window is being updated (including the X screen saver, which never goes completely blank since it can't go to power-saving mode). I believe my workaround will be to disable the X screen saver, don't need it anyway--it was just going by default, and make sure I don't have any other animations or anything going when I lock my screen.
