This is what worked for me: I've added an "-engine 1" option to my startsx command line. In your case this would be something like: exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $* -- /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin :0 -engine 1 -noreset -ac -nowinkill -clipboard -scrollbars #-multiwindow It's an underdocumented* parameter but the point is that it allows you to select a different engine for the screen output, and in this particular case the "-engine 1" selects an output engine that is not susceptible to changes in screen depth and/or resolution. As I said, it works for me, but YMMV.

Message-ID: <016701c66e3d$34366bc0$6701a8c0@PIERRE> As a common situation our Company LAN comprises a multiplicity of linux and solaris servers. Servers are all offering rlogin sessions via XDMCP chooser to anyone on the LAN. A user on the LAN runs on his local PC (Windows XP OS) CygWin to access such servers. CygWin startxdmcp.bat in /usr/X11R6/bin/ is used as launch method. The following works perfectly : "XWin -indirect MyLANserverx -nodecoration -lesspointer -swcursor -clipboard". It displays correctly a chooser running on MyLANserverx for both linux and solaris choosers. Similarly, "XWin -query MyLANserverx", and, "XWin - broadcast" work correctly. Now one likes to remove from such login procedure the dependency on MyLANserverx availability for running the chooser. Indeed MyLANserverx could be down or under maintenance or ... . Therefore one would prefer to use CygWin itself on the user PC for polling XDMCP offers on the LAN and presenting the chooser. This would provide a more reliable login procedure. For the purpose I was launching : "XWin -indirect localhost - ..." to enforce CygWin localhost to be the server of indirect XDMCP queries from the LAN. In any manner I cannot get the procedure to work!? The CygWin X server starts delivering the same dark full screen as in the case when "XWin -indirect MyLANserverx" was used but no chooser pops-up, everything keeps silent at that point. I am quite sure that in /etc/X11/xdm/ the xdm-config and Xaccess files are properly set. I did it carefully as per CygWin documentation in man xdm. Note further that : 1. - I can start separately the chooser (/etc/X11/xdm/chooser & , after launching "Xwin -indirect localhost ...") but it keeps absolutely silent and keep presenting an empty hosts list even when one pushes on its "list" button. 2. - when trying to get localhost (PC user + CygWin) as participant in the chooser list delivered by MyLANserverx (linux or solaris) the configuration (same xdm-config and Xaccess) did also fail. I was not able to get Cygwin on the user PC to present itself as potential login host for someone on the LAN via MyLANserverx chooser. Point 2. and "XWin -indirect localhost" failures described above seem for me quite related. It looks as if XDMCP broadcast protocol can not work / is not running / is not set-up on the PC with XP and CygWin. But to check this I do not know where to look. So I am stuck with "Xwin -indirect localhost - ... ". I read all possible documentation on CygWinX web site, on XDMCP How To web location and from multiple Google search results and I can not get a clue about how one can configure CygWin for running on its localhost PC its chooser (chooser.exe in /etc/X11/xdm/ ). I would be very grateful if someone can help me herewith.

It depends on your wheel mouse. I've used a wheel mouse which scrolls smoothly (but it's not the one at hand this moment - that one bounces a lot, sending spurious events). The scrollbars tend to be more reliable, though not necessarily as easy to use (since they require an extra step). -- Thomas E.

Bailing. > winClipboardProc - XDestroyWindow succeeded In both cases, by default XWin starts in multiwindow mode, which basically means that XWin has a built-in window manager that wraps the Windows default window manager. If you are content with the multiwindow mode, just don't start any window manager. If you would rather use twm or windowmaker, remove the -multiwindow parameter from the XWin invocation (and you might wish to add -rootless if you want the windows to be listed among the regular Windows ones).

Note that this does not mean Xinerama support is available, so dragging windows between the screens is not possible (unless I've missed something) I am considering patching the direct draw engine to do the same - i.e. selecting the appropriate graphics device depending on the -screen usage; can someone mail me to let me know if that's worthwhile - is the performance of the direct draw flavoured engines that much better? Also, does anyone know what would be required for xinerama support? Not entirely sure where to look for that stuff.

I think that you can't. At least as long as you run it as "fullscreen". Try it also with other fullscreen applications (e.g. games) you'll find that they are automatically minimized whenever you switch to some other application. Instead you should try to not run X in fullscreen mode (i.e. removing "-fullscreen") and then you'll be able to switch to other application/windows without having X minimized.

Most importantly, this won't fix the bug in future releases. A proper patch will do much more good in the long term, compared to a one-time hack. Additionally, you are violating the GPL because you offer binaries with no source code. It is not sufficient to say "you can get the source code from any Cygwin mirror", you have to offer it on the same place as the binaries. Even if you were offering unmodified binaries you would still be obligated to host a copy of the source code. As a thought experiment as to why this is so, consider if in 5 years time someone stumbles onto your site, downloads your binaries, and then wants the source. But suppose that the source for this version is no longer available on the Cygwin mirrors, or perhaps the Cygwin project has disbanded entirely. You are now unable to fulfill this request which is a direct violation of the license. This is why the GPL states that you cannot rely on third parties to make the source available. It is a technicality, but it is also a very common mistake.

No. libXt.a would be a static library, while libXt.dll.a is an import library for the shared cygXt-6.dll. You'll need to patch the configure script to look for libXt.{a|dll.a|so|sl} instead.

I have some (not to much) familiarity with linux, but I'm used to configure a xorg.conf file. I understand that in Cygwin this does not exist, so I'm a little lost in how to set once for all the variable DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 I runned xterm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 but it gave the error message : "Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 xterm: Display is not set". Also, I have in XP, in menu "start" "programs" (in fact this is in Portuguese, I hope the translation is Ok) "Cygwin-X" a shortcut for xterm, but it doesn't work. Regards.

You must start the X server if you plan to use X applications. You can choose to start the server any way you like.

Mmm, it doesn't seem to me like only an xterm issue. Maybe xterm has troubles sending SIGWINCH, but apparently the shell itself has troubles updating the COLUMNS variable.

The same behavior plays out with rxvt (version 2.7.10).

Price) Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 21:44:00 -0000 Subject: odd refresh problems Message-ID: <447E0E51.6030502@ximbiot.com> Hello, Wanted to file a quick bug report running the latest X available via the cygwin.com setup.exe under Windows XP SP2. I have a virtual desktop application that can cause X to do funny refresh things. It is not very serious, but I thought someone might be interested in fixing it. Since none of my native Windows applications behave similarly in conjunction with the same application, I assume that the problem lies with the X server (or xterm? i don't use any other X apps), though I have no idea if the problem can be fixed under the current architecture. Using MultiDesk (http://www.techsuperior.com/products/multiDesk21b.exe), a freeware, X-like, virtual desktop switcher for Windows, and xterm, if I switch from one desktop to another, and a window lies in a position that would have overlapped another xterm window had they been on the same virtual desktop, the new window shows active content from the other desktop's window. I say active, because if I was running something that generated output like tailing a log or running `top' in the first window, it continues to update in the overlapping part of the new window. This is a not-so-serious problem, because a single click in the title bar of the new window makes the erroneous content go away. This also does not happen if the xterm windows overlapped any native windows application, only if it overlapped another xterm window.
