Thus, I don't think that maintaining Cygwin/X is something that we are going to be able to tackle. The general consensus is that we have much less expertise with Cygwin and X.org than you guys do and certainly less than the cygwinports people. Yet neither community has been able to port xorg-server to Cygwin, so what hope do we have? In any sense, our main justification for porting the most recent X.org code to Cygwin was to provide a vehicle for introducing some new patches to enable certain features that are needed by our project (VirtualGL.) But on further reconsideration, that seems to be tantamount to building our own highway to improve our car's gas mileage. I wish you all the best.

Sometimes the scroll bar in some menu's of these applications are not loaded, an I cannot scroll them. This can happen in a menu/open dialogue for example. If I go a folder up and then back again, the menu bar does load. In menu's deeper than the main menu of an application, the visual feedback of my Mouse selection is also not shown. Everything else works fine for me, besides these issues with 'external' programs. With my old pc (Redhad with vm-ware) I never encountered these problems. These problems seem to be a time-out issue or something, but I am not an experienced linux/cygwin/X user. Is someone familiar with this problem or have a clue how to solve it? Ir.

These applications work fine on Cygwin from FC6. This doesn't affect all applications. The slow applications often seem to lock up the entire Cygwin subsystem, although things get unlocked if the process that is slow is killed from another terminal. The Windows sysem continues to function normally. Interestingly, I can't see excessive CPU use in any of the boxes concerned, nor much in the way of network activity. The FC6 server is a 700 MHz Athalon, the FC9 a 2.2G Core 2 duo. A few examples: Launch times: Galeon - FC6 21 seconds, FC9 9 MINUTES 38 seconds Evince - FC6 4 seconds, FC9 3 minutes 12 seconds emacs - FC6 9 seconds, FC9 10 seconds gnome-system-monitor FC6 10 seconds, FC9 2 seconds I can't seem to find a clue why some apps are affected and some not. I ran FC8 for a short time on the FC9 box and didn't notice a problem, but I didn't test extensively. The locking up of the Cygwin-X system leads me to suspect a cygwin rather than FC9 issue, and at this point in FC9's life I suspect the combination hasn't been used extensively. --McD -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ From mpjohans@chem.au.dk Wed Jun 11 11:26:00 2008 From: mpjohans@chem.au.dk (Mikael Johansson) Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:26:00 -0000 Subject: libGLw missing from package Message-ID: <20080611132601.6fa3ig6as40sc80w@mail.chem.au.dk> Hello All!

Cygwin/X failed with "Fatal Error". What does this mean? The Fatal Error is a general error message. More specific information what caused this is available in /tmp/XWin.log. Please check the common error messages in the Section called Error and Warning Messages. If you're error is not mentioned proceed with Q: 7.4. Where it says: If you're error is not mentioned proceed with Q: 7.4. Should read: If your error is not mentioned proceed with Q: 7.4. Yes! I know, I know, I have other - more important - things to do - that send messages like this one. For example: read section 7.1 to find out how to fix the problem that brought me there.

This is a valid question, but I think the lack of any error message points to a missing DLL. If it was due to there being no X server, the normal response is to say something to the effect that it cannot connect to the display. Running "cygcheck konsole.exe" will show if any DLLs couldn't be found. If any DLLs are missing, e.g. C:\cygwin\bin\cygkdefx-4.dll, run cygcheck -p /bin/cygkdefx-4.dll to find out which package needs to be installed.

If Focus requires 24 bit true colour, then you need to set the Windows display to 24 bits. Alternatively, you may be able to configure Focus to use a display mode that matches your current display. Run xdpyinfo to list the visuals available.

After I connect to work through Nortel Networks VPN, I would like to xwindow into one of our internal (ip addr is 10.x.x.x) redhat servers whose firewall is turned off. I know I can connect to it through the Xterm using ssh username@hostname followed by my password. However, launching startxwin.bat and typing x -query hostname, I get the fatal server error stating "cannot establish any listening sockets -Make sure an X server isn't already running" From the DOS command line, I type netstat -na and port :6000 is not listed, so no mention of this port "listening". I have even disabled my own home router's firewall and turned off my anti-virus software. When I try to assign a new port, say using, x :2 -query hostname I no longer get the error, however the xwindow launches and just looks gray with an X styled cursor. This window, at the top, states the right hostname. I just don't see the redhat desktop.
