However, Cygwin is not a monolithic entity. I doubt any individual Cygwin package will take more than 2 hours to download at 128k... I suggest you use the "Download from Internet" option of setup.exe to download packages incrementally, and then use "Install from Local Directory" to install them. Or you could search the Cygwin mailing list archives (at ) for "clean_setup" to see the alternative methods of package management. There have also been posts from time to time with instructions on creating your own distribution CD.

You might want to report your problem properly, as described in . Also, check that your perl one-liner outputs exactly the right sequence (by piping it to "od -c", for example).

Some have compiled gtk and glib, but there are various compromises that must be made in doing so. (Last I checked, these libraries could only be built for static linking... but that may have changed with the 2.x series). Do a search of the mailing list archives (link at xfree86.cygwin.com), or Google for how to compile Gnome for Cygwin. You should find information from Steve Obrien (If I recall his name correctly) that will be of use to you.

Essentially, there is > no SOLID information ANYWHERE on getting this to work. I've done it, but don't remember all the steps to take. - compile glib - compile gtk - compile gimp glib and gtk should compile without (or only with minor) problems. Gimp is more complicated. Watch the configure log! If some libraries are listed there as missing get them or try to disable the references. The plugin code used a #ifdef WIN32 statement which changed a referenced variable to a function call. This change must be disabled for cygwin. Otherwise the plugins fail with a segfault. I don't have the sources or patches anymore and I have no ambition to compile gimp again. So don??t ask me if I can help you with patches. > I am interested only in running GIMP under Cygwin/XFree -- I am NOT > interested the Win32 version of GIMP! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If you are an experienced programmer or you know the gimp architecture well then you can compile gimp for cygwin.

I spent most of the weekend trying to build it. I did get quite a bit help from searching the archive, but I didn't see one single success report. Anyway here's where I stand: I installed cygipc, built all the prerequesite for imlib2 and imlib2, and successfully built Eterm. The problem I have now is that I cannot set any background bitmap because imlib2 cannot load the loader of the images. I placed some debugging messages inside imlib2 and rebuilt it, and here's what I found to be the root cause: it tries to load the loaders dynamically with lt_dlopenext(), but cannot get a handle. I have all the image loaders with .a and .la extension under the /usr/local/lib/loaders/image/ directory. The parameter being passed into lt_dlopenext() is the file name with the extension being stripped on purpose (e.g. /usr/local/lib/loaders/image/jpeg), since from the comments lt_dlopenext() should be able to figure out the right thing to do. But the lt_dlopenext() returns a NULL. Attached is my cygcheck output. I also applied the KDE patch to Cygwin/XFree86 for the shared memory support. The imlib2 adn Eterm versions are: imlib2-1.0.6 Eterm-0.9.2 I cross posted to the cygwin group since I thought it could be be related to libtool. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Simon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I found some problems with shared libXt and libXaw where two pointers were compared from different shared libraries. This is no problem in linux but will fail with cygwin. Maybe this is the problem here too.

I have compiled GIMP on cygwin successfully, using X-Window system, and it works fine. Of cource, it's easy to get, since native Win32 port works fine. If you like, please try my little patch, hope helpful. First you need glib, gtk+, you can build them yourself from sources with patches from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/steven.obrien2/ (contributed and maintained by Steven O'Brian). Or, download glib, gtk+ binary packages directly from the Cygwin GNOME project ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cygnome ), you can find more interesting GNOME binary packages in cygnome-libs-1.4 (include glib, gtk+). The build steps i have wrote into a file cygbuild.sh, like: $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome --enable-shared=yes --enable-static=no --disable-perl Please disable perl plugin, with little patched you can compile successfully, but running GIMP hangs when try to load perl plugin script, in my test. $ mv libtool libtool.old $ cp /usr/autotool/devel/bin/libtool . Update libtool to build DLL libs, i use the latest libtool. $ make $ make install if you are luck, you'll get gimp run. I have to say in my test it's OK, but i can't say it's really OK.

Message-ID: The new -multiwindow mode looks really promising for occasional access to unix GUI programs from a windows box. Is there any way to completely hide the process of connecting in a batch file or bash script that can be attached to a windows desktop icon? That is, it should start xwin (only) if it isn't already running, The then ssh the appropriate command to a remote host with X forwarding. If ssh keys are in place the window should just appear without much indication that it is remote, otherwise it would have to stop for the ssh password prompt. How can such a script tell at the batch or bash level if xwin is already running? --- Les Mikesell les@futuresource.com From jc.gervais@videotron.ca Tue Mar 4 20:08:00 2003 From: jc.gervais@videotron.ca (Jean-Claude Gervais) Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2003 20:08:00 -0000 Subject: A thought about stuck keys Message-ID: Hi, I am using Microsoft Netmeeting to control a box running Cygwin XFree, and like some of you have already noted, occasionally whatever is typed on the keyboard gets echoed several times, acting almost like a stuck key. This seems to happen to me MUCH, MUCH more when I am working remotely as I am than when I am logged in locally or have a one-hop connection. I don't know XWindows very well, but it almost looks like the X keyboard event-handler is getting fooled because of the extra latency the communications channel is adding to the event times. For example, it seems like X sees a keydown message and responds to it, sees another (duplicate) keydown message (for the same key) and doesn't make sure there has been an intervening keyup message between the two. A de-bouncing algorithm could do the job here. Maybe this is normal; that multiple keydown messages will get sent if you hold down a key, but I am curious to know if this is something that can be configured away. So, in summary, I'd like to know if it is possible to configure XFree to NOT generate multiple keydown messages for ONE keypress. Thanks.

Search the message archives for my notes on this. I sent at least one rather long and detailed message about this. In brief, I ran XWin.exe in a debugger and watched the keypresses being handled. The problem with your theory is that a single keypress message results in a several function calls that drill deeper and deeper into the generic X code... I drilled all the way down as far as I could (following a single keypress message, mind you) and BAM! two key presses show up in xterm from the processing of a single keypress message. So, we definitely don't need any kind of debouncing algorithm at the Cygwin/XFree86 level. This problem is either deep inside the generic X code (I couldn't find anywhere where the keypress was being duplicated) or it was happening in some Cygwin code. I would not doubt it if this was due to something in Cygwin... since the problem only comes out when the machine is under very heavy load (such as running the Native GDI engine for XWin.exe) or perhaps when working remotely. This indicates to me that the bug is either due to a race or some sort of key repeat feature in Cygwin that is looking at the time difference between the key press message (is it peeking at that or does it have it cached somewhere?) and the time that the Cygwin keyboard handler gets called. I could be talking total nonsense here, but this seems plausible to me. Here is a question: have you ever seen this happen in a program other than xterm or a program that is running inside an xterm? If not, then this may be a problem in xterm, not in Cygwin. I would really like to know the answer to this one.

To answer your question; YES, this does happen outside of XTerm, to ME at least, when I am running Gaim. I am controlling/using the Redhat version of Gaim (native Linux, in other words) through Cygwin's XFree on my Windows XP box (over a 100MB network), which is in turn being controlled remotely by Netmeeting over a high-latency network (the Internet) OK, yes, I do seem to remember your original posts about this, which I don't yet have enough X-savvy to understand totally, but I was trying to maybe spark some idea by coming from a different direction. In any case, if we can rule out my hypothesis, then that is good too: It will be ONE down and X others to go, and eventually we WILL understand what is going on here and we'll be able to fix it, I am sure.

Holt Boeing, Seal Beach, CA. I down loaded Cygwin/XFree86 on Jan 21 2003 onto a DELL x86-based PC for the purpose of compiling and running OpenInventor Programs. I got the OpenInventor built and compiled with their examples and my own code, but noticed that it wasn't using DRI hardware acceleration. I've been reading README.DRI and README.DRIcomp and tried some of the checks it said to do. xdpyinfo showed: XFree86 version 4.2.0 but did not show XFree86-DRI extension glxinfo showed: direct rendering: No OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect My GL library is named libGL.a in the /usr/X11R6/lib when I do: strings libGL.a | grep DRI I don't see any XF86DIR things... there are some _DRI_glxUseXFont kind of things. There is no XF86Config file any where, and no /usr/X11R6/lib/modules directory either. Question: does this mean I need a different GL ? I thought that the XFree86 GL had the DRI. Do I have to do all these steps in README.DRIcomp to get DRI to work ? I'm a graphics programmer working most of the time on SGI UNIX workstations. We want to port some things to the PC; we have, using Exceed 3D, but would like to try with the Cygwin. My program runs with Cygwin now, but has problems with Z buffer, slow texture mapping, and sometimes slow to redraw window after resize or move. Also crashes when trying to popup the OpenInventor SoXtMaterialEditor from my program.

The XFree86 port to Mac OS X successfully tied the XFree86 GL layer to the Max OS X OpenGL API... which in effect gave XFree86 on Mac OS X a DRI/hardware-accelerated OpenGL implementation. That could be done for Cygwin/XFree86, but it would take a number of hours and it must not be useful to many people because no one has done it yet. Perhaps you guys at Boeing could work on it or you could work out a deal with one of us (I would be interested) to implement this feature for a fee (think fixed-price contract).

Maybe the X server under cygwin or RH does not by default create the visual expected by the application. Did you compare the output of xdpyinfo between Exceed and RH? > > >From what I can see it uses Opengl and the glx libraries but the application > might also require Motif. ITIYM 'the Motif window manager'. That indeed is not a problem with Exceed, which *does* honor the WM properties used by the Motif shell widgets, and *is* likely to be a problem with RH, at least when using KDE, because the KDW window manager does not honor some of these properties. Eg a window supposed to be fixed-size with MWM will have effective resize handles with KDM. I have not yet found a way to deal with that specific issue even for applications of which I do have the source code! One problem has been that I have not yet found any Xt-based application that *is* non-resizeable under KDE. Ideas, anyone? I have not yet tried our Motif apps under a recent Cygwin so I cant say anything about cygwin. > > My questions are: > 1. If the XFree86 module is loaded does this mean that glx is also loaded? > 2.

I LOVE IT! Cygwin/Xfree86 is almost as good as Exceed now. Despite being "experimental" I've found both features to be fairly stable. Kudos to the developers. I want to report a reproducible problem when using the keyboard to close an X application in multiwindow mode. The last keystroke sent to my closed application is repeated over and over in every other X application currently opened. This continues in each window until I give the window focus and press another key. To reproduce (This happens with XWin.exe version 4.2.0-26 on Windows 2000 SP2): 1. Run XWin.exe -multiwindow 2. Start an xterm 3. Cover the xterm with another, non-X window (this step is not always necessary, but the bug is more reliably reproduced by doing this). 4. Start a second xterm. 5. Type "exit" followed by return into the second xterm. Its window will close. 6. Bring the first xterm to the front and give it focus. The shell will act as though someone is pressing and holding the return key. 7. Press the space bar. The repeating returns will stop. I've tried this with xterm and emacs, in every combination. If you use ^D to exit the xterm instead of "exit", then the ^D is sent to the other windows, causing the other xterms to exit. If you exit emacs with C-X C-C, then the ^C is sent to the other X applications. If there is more than one other app running, they all seem to get the repeated key. If you start another app before handling the errant key, then the new app will also get the repeated key event. I've seen references in the mailing list archive of shells coming up acting as if the return key were pressed. This is probably the same bug. This does not happen in non-multiwindow mode. This happens whether or not -clipboard is used. P.S. Please Cc: me on any responses. I don't usually read the cygwin-xfree mailing list (although I do read the cygwin-xfree-announce list). P.P.S. Is there some way other than running cygwin setup that I can determine the version of my XWin.exe program? - Pablo Pablo Halpern phalpern@halpernwightsoftware.com Halpern-Wight Software, Inc. http://www.halpernwightsoftware.com From pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu Thu Mar 6 19:04:00 2003 From: pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu (Igor Pechtchanski) Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2003 19:04:00 -0000 Subject: 4.2.0-26 multiwindow bug: closing apps causes repeated keystrokes In-Reply-To: <5.2.0.9.0.20030306101706.038a5d28@mail.newview.org> Message-ID: On Thu, 6 Mar 2003, Pablo Halpern wrote: > [snip] > P.P.S.

"cygcheck -c | grep XFree" This will only determine the version of the XFree package, not the XWin.exe program (though they are related), but it's the same info you would get from setup, in any case.

I think the problem is that I have the middle mouse button (the scrollwheel) set to double-click in Windows and that behavior is overriding what it would normally do in X - namely paste!

Why would it? (Don't answer that.) You don't have firewall software installed on your Windows machine, do you? I am not sure precisely what is going on, but this line: dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0 seems to indicate that xdm is trying to connect back to your Windows machine using a UNIX domain socket (which doesn't go between machines). On the other hand, that could just be XDM's standard logfile notation and it may indicate that it is using TCP/IP. In any case, I would do some searching about what that log line is supposed to look like and see if it mentions anything about TCP/IP and UNIX domain sockets. That would at least get you started.

Message-ID: Good Day, With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I duly apologize for infringing on your privacy, if this contact is not acceptable to you, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity. First and foremost I wish to introduce myself properly to you. My name is Oliveira Chuli Savimbi, I am a nephew and Personal Assistant to Late Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, leader of UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). As led by my instinct, I selected your email address from an internet directory, in my search for a partner, hence this email. I also crave your indulgence to read this carefully, and have a general overview of my situation. My Uncle (Mentor) was killed in a battle with government forces of Angola, led by President Dos Santos, on Friday 22nd February 2002. After his death, Mr. Antonio Dembo who was his second in command, assumed office as leader of UNITA, due to the lack of Charisma my Uncle had carried the party with in Dembo, there was chaos and struggle for leadership. Prominent members like Carlos Morgado lobbied to depose him and assume office as leader to enrich themselves and some of them who saw me as a threat to their ambitions, including Mr.Dembo, planned to kill me. The tension and confusion in UNITA become uncontrollable when Mr. Dembo died 10days after my Uncle's death. As I already lost my mentor in this struggle that has been on for three decades now, not so much of the struggle interested me anymore, as there was no more sense of direction. I then desired a peaceful life, as I no more had interest in conflicts and wars. For this reason, I secretly left Angola and came here (Holland) to seek for political asylum. I am sincerely proposing to you to render me your most needed assistance in respect to safekeeping of some of my Uncle's money that arose from Diamonds sales. This money (US$18.5million), which was already on its way to my Uncle's Swiss Bank account, through the Diplomatic means we use to move money abroad, and was on transit with a private safe deposit security company here in Amsterdam, Holland in February last year when the tragic incident of my Uncle's death occurred. I then instructed the company to secure the consignment containing the money pending on further instructions from me. I have waited all this time now for security reasons, and have now decided to act with your reliable assistance. As a matter of fact, the reason I came to Holland and sought for political asylum here is the safe deposit with the Security Company here in Amsterdam. President Jose Eduardo Dos Santos has lobbied the International Community to freeze my Uncle's assets and accounts abroad, to ground UNITA, and has already done this in Angola. Hence I cannot lodge the funds in my name. Also I did not declare the funds to the government here. I plan to use this money to safeguard my future. It is very essential that you understand that the kind of trust and confidence I want to place in you is extraordinary, and an act of desperation on my part, in order not to lose this money. Also, ensure that this contact with you should be treated with utmost secrecy. Your role in this project, is acting on my behalf to clear the safety deposit containing the money which is deposited in my name, from the Security company, after which, the money will lodged into an account preferably a new account you should open for this transaction. My share of the money will be returned to me when my asylum application in this country is granted, and I have permission to do business and open an account here. For your reliable assistance, I will reward you with 15%($2,775,000) of the money. I have with me, the Certificate of Deposit for the safety deposit, which will be used for claim from the security company, and the release codes of the vaults. Also, everything will be legally processed for transfer of ownership to you, and this transaction should be completed immediately depending on your prompt response. I thank you in advance as I anticipate your assistance in enabling me achieve this goal. Please contact me whether or not you are interested in assisting me. This will enable me scout for another partner in the event of non-interest on your part.

The critical missing factor was xauth on the remote machine. I've summarized how I managed to get things to work below. ----- I have a machine that I am sitting at, we shall call it local. It is from here that I am running the ssh client to log into the remote machine and run my X11 app across the network. The remote machine can also be called the server, and is running sshd. This server machine has the X application that I wish to run. The remote box does NOT have to have an X server installed. It is a server, it doesn't need X; as long as the X applications have their libraries on the server, everything will be fine. The server must, however, have some X applications installed on it (e.g. ethereal). Without them, what would be the point of X11 forwarding!?! The server also MUST have a local copy of xauth for the ssh X11 forwarding to work. SSH uses the xauth on the local machine to set up an xauth entry for the dummy X server that it sets up. For Debian, this can be accomplished by installing the xbase-clients package. On the remote box, I also had to set the X11Forwarding variable to 'yes' in sshd_config. After telling sshd to reload its configuration files (or restarting it), I was able to do the normal steps to forward X11. ssh -l -XC You may also need to use the -A option to enable forwarding of the authentication agent connection. I'm not really sure of what this means, however. Be sure to check the command line parameters for your copy of ssh. I know that on a SunOS maachine, I use a command-line that looks like this: ssh -l +X +C +a Where the +a is that optional forwarding of the auth agent connection... I hope this clears it up for everyone.

I have a somewhat unrelated question about the -multiwindow mode. For security reasons I like to invoke XWin with the switch "-nolisten tcp" and I set DISPLAY to :0.0 instead of localhost:0.0. When I do this in multiwindow mode everything works OK, except that I can not close applications by clicking on the x button on the upper right corner. I can still close them if they have a menu with an exit command in it or by using kill from xterm. Also text appears in rxvt only if the curser is somewhere inside even if it selected. Why is that so? Is tcp needed for full functionality of multiwindows mode?

Normally on xf86/cygwin this would be the file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm. I guess it is also worth checking that the application you are using to try to display coloured text is actually sending the correct escape sequences to xterm. e.g. /usr/bin/ls --color=always - Ben Kelley. >-----Original Message----- >From: Andrew Markebo [mailto:andrew.markebo@telia.com] >Sent: Friday, 14 March 2003 08:35 >To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com >Subject: Re: xterm shows no color for color fonts > > >/ Haibing Ma wrote: >| When I opened vi or emacs-nox, it shows bold fonts and >underlines, but >| it doesn't show colors.

The problem I have run into is that when setup tries to install either the fenc or fnts module, the setup program goes into a mode that seems to be stalled, although it is flashing rather rapidly. The progress bars do not move and finally setup fails after a dialog box pops up with a message that system resources are running low. I have installed this on another Win2k machine with no problem.

When I connect to it from my cygwin/W2K machine, I can do a 'netstat -an' and see that the connection has been established on port 7100. I have tried to connect in the same way (ie: XDMCP w/-query) using a different commercially available application produced by Chamelion called Xoftware. This is installed on the same W2K machine that cygwin is running on. Xoftware seems to work just fine (go figure!). Others need to have this functionality but I only have one software license for Xoftware, so I would really like to get cygwin/XFree86 working. I suspect that the Solaris font server is providing a font to the cygwin machine that it does'nt know how to display. However, I am no expert by any means when it comes to fonts in general and expecially on Solaris-9. Anyone have any suggestions beyond those given?

Have you tried connecting to the font server on the Solaris machine using another X Server, such as MI/X? Can you check the logs for xfs on the Solaris machine to see if it is getting the connection and rejecting it?

Normally after the last client disconnected from the server the server resets to get into a clean state for the next user. I assume the first client you started was xhost. After xhost finished, it disconnects and the server resets. You can avoid this by adding the -noreset option to the xwin commandline or by starting another client (eg a local xterm, xclock or a windowmanager) before you call xhost. bye ago NP: t.A.T.u - Show Me Love -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 From kwong@control.toronto.edu Fri Mar 14 21:37:00 2003 From: kwong@control.toronto.edu (Raymond Kwong) Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2003 21:37:00 -0000 Subject: Test server 79 and JSPager Message-ID: <20030314160111.A23218@thor.control.toronto.edu> I echo the sentiment expressed by Ed.

Today I tried installing and using Cygwin XFree86 to connect to my Linux box with KDE via XDMCP. Great work, I could manage to set all up in just a few moments! Thanks a lot! But I realized that it's really a big task for my PC, with Exceed (old, v 6.02) I had about 8 MB Memory Usage and just a few CPU cycles. Now XWin uses 10 MB, that's OK. But the overall CPU usage goes up to 100%! Interesting - it's not XWin.exe that uses that much of my CPU, it's 'System' (PID 8), i. e. the Windows 2000 Generic System process. System (using 216 kB) and Xwin are on the top of the list, toggling, together consuming 100%. If I stop XWin then everything will drop to the usual some percent again. Is that normal? That much of CPU usage? I'm using the lastet XFree86 with Cygwin 1.3.20 on Windows 2000, on request I'll post cygcheck.out, if you like to have one for more information. I connect to a Linux box (SuSE 7.1) with KDE 2.2.2. Thanks a lot!

XWin draws graphics using the CPU (it is not accelerated by the video card) and we then transfer blocks of our bitmap representing the screen to the screen, so XWin tends to take a lot of clock cycles compared to Exceed. Exceed draws graphics using GDI, which offloads most of the work to the graphics chip for the vast majority of video drivers. However, XWin runs just fine on most modern machines. I run it on a Pentium III 500 MHz most of the time and I have run it on a Pentium 233 MMX without any problems. If your machine is faster than a Pentium 233 MMX, then I suspect that you have a problem with your video driver. See, your video driver can accelerate 'bit block transfers' (blits), which takes a large load off the CPU and gives XWin a speed boost. Buggy, beta, or non feature-complete video drivers may not adequately accelerate blits and may cause XWin to use an excessive amount of CPU time on your machine. Try finding a better video driver, or switch your video card to one that has newer drivers. Additionally, AGP video cards will be faster at blits than PCI video cards. If your machine is just ancient then I don't think we can help :) Please respond to the mailing list with a description of your hardware. I am interested to know what you have got XWin running on.

Hmmm, my system is not bleeding edge, but it's also not too old - just a good workhorse :-) I'm using an AMD Duron 1GHz with an ATI Rage Fury / Xpert 2000 Pro, latest driver (which is from 2001) It's an AGP 4x Card with 32 MB RAM. I'm using 1152x864 at 16bit color depth. In fact I can work with all my applications - also using XWin, but the system is substantial slower compared with my old Exceed and it now constantly shows 100% CPU usage in the Windows Task Manager. 'System' (PID 8) needs about 60-80% at _all_ times as long as XWin is running. Only if XWin needs more then it toggles for a second or so. I just looked for newer drivers from ATI but the 5.13.01.3279 is the last one. HTH?! Thanks again!

With XVideo you can for example get access to the backend scaler of the graphicscard and let the graphicscard scale the video to fullscreen.

Attempting to try how it works here, I found _two_ entries in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ both named app-defaults. One the link to /etc/X11/app-defaults/ and the second a real directory. The directory contained only one file "Mwm" and was shadowing (i.e. took precedence) over the sym-link. After removing that directory Xterm.exe definitely reads its app-defaults file (and current user, as well as installing user is non-admin). -- Daniel From antonv@postikaista.net Mon Mar 17 10:19:00 2003 From: antonv@postikaista.net (- -) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 10:19:00 -0000 Subject: KDE is running extremely slow.

You had me confused when you mentioned Linux. As you know XFree86 is not operation system dependent, and the XFree project is also much older (mid 1980's) than Linux. The X Window System is the de facto windowing standard for many other operating systems too than Linux - mainly variants of Unix. As for KDE2 at the time of its release people were unhappy with its performance on Linux/Unix as well, and add to that the little overhead of running X on cygwin then the not-so-good performance is hardly any surprise. But "slow" is of course relative. If you find something else as big as KDE2 for cygwin X you could can run that and compare the performance to KDE2. One should keep in mind though that KDE2 for cygwin is not considered production quality by its authors - thus the not-so-smooth performance is understandable.

The least performance-inhibiting software that I have found so far is Norton Antivirus... it doesn't slow down Cygwin/XFree86, and it only has a minor affect (5% slowdown) on compiling Cygwin/XFree86 (which opens and closes thousands of files). On the other hand, Network Associates V Shield slows compiling down about 150% and generally makes the computer unusable. Of course, I don't run antivirus software when not forced to, cause I don't do stupid things :) Harold From tiroy@poczta.onet.pl Mon Mar 17 23:10:00 2003 From: tiroy@poczta.onet.pl (Tomasz Rojek) Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2003 23:10:00 -0000 Subject: X -query does not work References: Message-ID: > Is xdm started or dtlogin? afair the default for solaris is dtlogin.

This sometimes fails and they want to add local paths to the fontpath which are not available on the windows host. Solution 1: copy the fonts to the windows box and to the same location as on solaris. Solution 2: add the fontpath to the fontserver config file But unfortunatly I don't know which paths you need to add. bye ago From ihok@hotmail.com Tue Mar 18 08:16:00 2003 From: ihok@hotmail.com (Jack Tanner) Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2003 08:16:00 -0000 Subject: two new -multiwindow bugs Message-ID: (By "new", I mean not discussed here before, not "new" as in only present in the most recent release.) Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al. I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1. XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28. 0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00059.html 1) window positioning bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2. # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1. Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow. 2) window title bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 # TERM=xterm; export TERM # xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X user@remote" The xterm window gets a title like "user@remote:~". This is very pretty and very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote machine has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.) # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard [snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not -rootless Xwin invocation] The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.

This is often (generally?) done with Network Address Translation. Your situation is one of the most extreme 'firewall' setups I have heard of. Blocking .exe's from emails is one thing (and quite sensible in the Windows world if you are forced to run Outlook which seems to do the most it can to encourage viruses to spread) but blocking the ability to download almost anything is (in my experience) unusual. How do you update Windows or get the latest Internet Explorer update? Anyway, have you tried getting Cygwin via Rsync? It is possible that your firewall does not block rsync traffic. (Or does it block almost everything?) There is a bit of a catch 22 here, as you need Cygwin (or Linux / Unix) to run rsync. I will forward the setup.exe (bzip2ed) to you directly. If you still find you can't get things via setup (eg .tar.gz is blocked) then I can forward you enough to get rsync working and you can try that. Cheers, Rasjid.

Why don't you try starting it on your own after the X Serer has finished starting up. I am wondering if there is a race condition where xterm is setting the window title before the window manager has finished starting, if that is even possible. The other possibility is that the MultiWindow Window Manager handles setting the initial title just fine, but it does not handle requests to change the message. Thus, xterm sets the message to "bash" on startup, but requests to change it to the current directory, etc. are ignored.

We have also had a similar report that everything works OK but that the fonts are squished if you instead specify a SunOS 2.6 machine as the font server. Sounds to me like this is due to something that Sun has changed. You know, Sun tends to do things their own way just because they want to be different, not because their decision will provide any benefit to their users. As such, I believe that your only path to a solution here is to bug Sun until they tell you what they changed. You can try to get a bug report filed for Solaris 9 asking them to revert the change. I doubt you will have much luck.

Try reading this: http://www.linuxpowered.com/archive/mini/Xterm-Title.html Also look for a program called "xtitle" (there are actually many different ones, but they all do the same thing) which can help this. In tcsh and zsh you can define a function named "precmd" which you can use for this: function precmd () { xtitle $USERNAME@$HOST:$PWD } HTH, -- ================================================================== Keith D.

If I login using xdm, yes, all windows get the title "Cygwin/XFree86 X rl", and you can't change it. As with other posters, if I start a window (such as xterm or rxvt) locally (so not using xdm) specifying a title on the command line it works, but if I try and change the title after that it is ignored.

I remember that I used cygwin (version from the middle of December 2002) to connect to this machine - X environment was transferred smoothly. The only requirement was that I had to add "-fp" parameter - and it worked. I also remember that locally my xserver could not display the exact fonts used on Solaris, but it used other. From the last few months this machine was not changed anyhow - now cygwin cannot connect to it using xdmcp.

I am having the same problem after I recently upgraded to a new version of cygwin. The problem is that we have makefiles which call perl scripts. We use dmake and ccperl (which is a Windows version of perl). I didn't fully understand the explanation given here, but I am having the same problem as the original poster. Each time I call dmake, it opens and closes dozens of windows. I am guessing this happens for every invocation of ccperl and any shell commands in the perl script or makefile. Since I am the only one in the company using cygwin and the X environment, I cannot change the makefiles. I was wondering if any of you have a solution for this, especially since this did not use to happen before. Please reply-all as I am not subscribed to the list.

I downloaded to do remote X to my SUN box. I already read the FAQ section about SUN box issue with xfree. I ran these 2 commands but still got hourglass, no login prompt. Command as follow: xwin -query sun_ip from client_ip xwin -query sun_ip -fp tcp/sun_ip:7100 As I said, both gave me hourglass for some reason. I wonder if anybody out there ever do remote X with SUN box and experience this problem. If so, care to give me guideline on how to persue this matter, please? Am I missing something here?

You need the bash before the from. ie, -from. > xwin -query sun_ip -fp tcp/sun_ip:7100 I've never connected to a Sun box, but have you tried all three parameters? xwin -query sun_ip -fp tcp/sun_ip:7100 -from client_ip It would seem likely that all three are required.

<058601c2f1a9$6525ac50$2000000a@schlepptopp> References: <058601c2f1a9$6525ac50$2000000a@schlepptopp> Message-ID: <3E7E6A37.4030102@msu.edu> You have to have Cygwin/XFree86 compiled with the shared memory extension (SHM), which is not in the standard distribution. You can look at the KDE on Cygwin project for binaries with the SHM extension enabled. SHM is not on by default because it depends on another Cygwin package (cygipc, or does it have a new name now?) that has not been blessed as stable/supported yet. So, we could not distributed a VNC binary for Cygwin/XFree86 that was installed via setup.exe until we use the SHM extension in the standard build. Usually when people want to use an X program that is available as a native Windows binary we ask them why they are trying to do this. I am sure you have your reasons, but understand that most people probably won't share your motivations... Good luck with it if you decide to pursue it.

I'm guessing it is the right hand one (note that monitor 1 is not necessarily the primary, you have the choice). If you set the primary monitor to be the left hand one then the xterm will appear on the same monitor for both cases below. If it really matters to you then I could have a look at the code. Regards, Nick -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-owner@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Jack Tanner Sent: 17 March 2003 23:11 To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: two new -multiwindow bugs (By "new", I mean not discussed here before, not "new" as in only present in the most recent release.) Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al. I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1. XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28. 0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00059.html 1) window positioning bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2. # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1. Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow. 2) window title bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 # TERM=xterm; export TERM # xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X user@remote" The xterm window gets a title like "user@remote:~". This is very pretty and very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote machine has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.) # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard [snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not -rootless Xwin invocation] The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.

I got errors when compiling the unix versions of tcl and tk from the cygwin tcl/tk sources. To get tclClock.c to compile, I commented out several lines (309, 310, 349) that had to do with time zones. I also had to change a reference in tk/generic/default.h from tkWinDefault.h to tkUnixDefalt.h to get tcl/tk to compile.

The following should work (quoting adjusted as well): APPDATA="`regtool get '\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\AppData'`" HOME="`cygpath -u "$APPDATA"`" Also be aware that bash doesn't read /etc/profile unless it's a login shell (i.e., has the --login option). You can also pass the "-ls" option to the xterm for that effect.

I have an icon on my w2k desktop which points to a batch file (D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwin.bat) The xwin.bat is the original batch file that appeared with the original installation of cygwin. It has a few modifications to allow for the installation on my D drive and such. The last line above the ":END" line reads "start XWin.exe -query sun_name -fp tcp/sun_name:7100". If sun_name is Solaris 2.6 machine, I don't need the "-fp tcp/sun_name:7100" part of that command line. It works fine without it. But, and this is the real kicker, when connecting to a solaris 9 machine, I must have an external font server or I get the same response that you describe. (IE: the hour glass forever). But wait, there's more. If I point the external font server (IE: -fp tcp/solaris_9:7100) at a Solaris 9 machine I cannot run a graphical application which prints several traces horizontally across the screen. If I point the external font server at a Solaris 2.6 machine the application runs but squashes the traces and lables horizontally such that it is very difficult to read. Bottom line here is that Solaris 9 has munged up the fonts (or fonts server) with respect to cygwin. And I don't have a clue how to fix it. I don't know much about the Solaris 9 OS. Incidentally, all my solaris machines are running CDE. I sure would like to know what SUN did in Solaris 9 that is different. I really need this funtionality with the described application.

My problem was non admin users on my Win2k box cant run CyGNOME. It became very secure, not even allowing non-admin user to see C:\ I corrected CyGNOME issues by reducing the security on %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp Following is what I did. All the steps may not be necessary for you. Also there may be a better way. Just wait before applying this, So that somebody can comment on what I did. I use Windows 2000. On other windows versions the options may be different. NB: Effect of many step in the following will be difficult to reverse. Steps:- gone to %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp and deleted all the files and folders in it. now logged into Cygwin with Administrator ID and and executed $ chmod 1777 /tmp Came to windows explorer right clicked %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp selected "Sharing.." clicked "Security" tab Ensured the groups "Administrators" and "Everyone" have all the permissions checked. Checked "Allow inheritable premissions from parent to propagate..." clicked OK Once again right clicked on %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp and Came to "Security" tab clicked "Advanced.." Button. Add/Edit Permission Entries for "Everyone" to following Apply to : This Folder, subfolders, files. Checked all the boxes under Allow Came back to "Access Control Settings for tmp" screen checked "Allow inheritable permissions from parent..." checked "Reset permissions on all child objects..."

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com . If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list is the appropriate place.

No. I have been playing using startxwin.bat. If I add -display and -screen extensions I can create multiple screens and move them around. If I use -multiwindow or -multimonitor nothing starts, is there anything to add to those to get a window to open?

Cygwin/XFree works rock-solid for me as an x-terminal to a remote host. However I cannot get -clipboard to work; Xwinclip works fine, but only if I delay running it until I've logged in to the remote host and executed "xhost +". If I start Xwinclip sooner, it says: Xlib: connection to "" refused by server Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping:4 It gets up to try 3 in about 10 seconds, then quits. Logging into the remote host takes up to a minute, after which xhost can be executed. Starting Xwinclip late enough that not all tries are used up works ok. Is there some setting I'm missing? Or does -clipboard include a similar timeout which could be extended? I've tried the telnet method described in the user guide, but it seems to have the same problem. xwin.bat script is: SET DISPLAY=:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH% start /B XWin-Test79.exe -query -kb -clipboard -nowinkill -nodecoration -unixkill -from setting DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 doesn't help.

Well, not much more I can help with... it might make it easier for others to diagnose the problem if you attach the server output from /tmp/XWinrl.log, though. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

That is one of the pointers I was looking for It's many years since I worked on Unix systems the XWin.log has ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 1280 h 1024 Unrecognized option: -multiplemonitors use: X [:] [option] (etc) and XWinrl.log is not created. remove the -multiplemonitors and then I just get the first two lines of XWin.log, and again XWinrl.log is not created.

You can use the -multimonitor command-line parameter for XWin.exe to create a window that spans multiple monitors. However, this flag does not yet work in conjunction with the -multiwindow command-line parameter... though it would probably be trivial to make it work.

The DOS shell, when it expands the variable, %PATH%, leaves the spaces in the name, and the SET command thinks you've just given it an extra parameter. The solution is to change the base PATH in Windows to use the short, DOS 8.3 form (C:\PROGRA~1\Java\j2re1.4.1\bin in our case). You want to run the MSCONFIG command to do this.

I'll have a look at the log file and post back when I get a chance. One thing I have noticed, that might be a nice simple feature to add is this - If I start Xwin in -rootless mode at 1024x768, it creates an invisible root window at screen coordinates 0,0 If I then play a DirectX game that changes the display's resolution to 800x600, when I exit the game, the XWin invisible root window is now shifted over to the right. My fix would be simple: If running in rootless mode and the resolution changes, move the invisible root window back to 0,0. Thanks.

All went well till I executed $ cygrunsrv -S sshd I got a message "The procedure entry point _ctype_ could not be located in the dynamic link library" Upon searching cygwin maillist and doing things as suggested i reached a mail asking to check cygwin by $ cygcheck -s -v to my supprise I found another "cygwin1.dll" (1998 version) on my system installed by "CheckPoint VPN SecureClient" And it come in PATH before C:\cygwin\bin I rearranged position of all Cygwin dir in the PATH variable. rebooted PC and my sshd start working fine. as a bonus I got similar issue with postgresql also got resolved Cheers Biju CyGNOME - GNOME on Cygwin http://cygnome.sourceforge.net/ KDE-Cygwin - KDE on Cygwin http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/ --- Ben Voigt wrote: How many times has Microsoft claimed to resolve this exact problem?

There are already 169 lines handling WM_DISPLAYCHANGE messages. It seems that your message should already be handled, because we drop and recreate the DirectDraw surface when the display size changes. The rootless mode uses the Shadow DirectDraw Non-Locking engine by default, so the surface should be being recreated at the correct point. I don't think that this problem has anything to do with WM_DISPLAYCHANGE processing. Someone will have to step through this in a debugger to find out what is happening.

I think you may have inadvertently put your finger on the problem: I'm using -engine 1, because I view the machine running XWin through Netmeeting, and the Direct-Draw engine's rendering doesn't get picked up by this remote tool. So perhaps the code needs to also do something for the GDI engine when a WM_DISPLAYCHANGE happens. Does that make any sense? In any case, I'd appreciate any light you can shed on it; I've downloaded XFree from CVS and will soon start trying to debug the code myself, but I expect a somewhat-steep learning curve.
