From kbrown@cornell.edu Sat May 1 13:49:00 2010 From: kbrown@cornell.edu (Ken Brown) Date: Sat, 01 May 2010 13:49:00 -0000 Subject: Slow response to keypresses in xorg-server-1.8.0-1 Message-ID: <4BDC3161.9070101@cornell.edu> I'm often seeing a very slow response to keypresses under xorg-server-1.8.0-1. The problem is intermittent, but it always happens within a few minutes after starting the server (via the start menu shortcut or a slight variant). Here are some examples: 1. Switching windows with Alt-Tab sometimes takes up to 15 seconds or doesn't work at all (i.e., I get tired of waiting to see if the focus is ever going to switch). 2. When using 'less' to view a file in an xterm window, there is sometimes a delayed response to 'space' or 'q'. 3. When viewing a directory in emacs-X11, pressing 'v' to start viewing a file can sometimes result in a long delay, pressing 'space' to scroll in view mode can be slow, and pressing 'q' to exit view mode can be slow. In some of these cases, I sometimes don't get a response to the first keypress until I press a second key. For example, if I'm viewing a file with 'less', I may press 'q' and get no response. Then pressing 'q' a second time exits 'less' and also produces an echoed 'q' in xterm. Similarly, I'll sometimes press a key, see no echo, and then get two characters echoed at once after pressing a second key. Reverting to xorg-server-1.7.6-2 solves the problem. I'm attaching cygcheck output and an XWin log. Ken -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

I found a test case that I can reproduce reliably on my system. 1. With no .Xdefaults or .startxwinrc, start the X server via the start menu shortcut. 2. Start xfig (with 'xfig &' in the xterm window). 3. Repeatedly press Alt-Tab to switch between the xterm and xfig windows. At some point the focus fails to switch. When this happens, press Alt and the focus switches.

An operation in this context can be starting an x application (e.g., xterm) or running some command from within emacs (e.g., diff or latex). In attempt to isolate the problem, I reinstalled cygwin from scratch using the default settings of setup.exe + xorg-server, xinit, xorg-docs, and X-start-menu-icons. Next, I open a cygwin bash window and then invoke startxwin.exe . The x-server is invoked but an xterm window does not open and the following message appears: ***message begins*** 4 [main] xterm 7156 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1449 [main] xterm 7156 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 4 [main] xterm 7996 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1356 [main] xterm 7996 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 4 [main] xterm 5268 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 647 [main] xterm 5268 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 5 [main] xterm 4316 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 739 [main] xterm 4316 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 2 [main] xterm 2752 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1123 [main] xterm 2752 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 5 [main] xterm 3220 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION 1260 [main] xterm 3220 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to xterm.exe.s tackdump 6 [main] xterm 6752 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initi alization, retry 0, exit code 0x600, errno 11 xterm: Error 29, errno 11: Resource temporarily unavailable Reason: spawn: fork() failed ***message ends*** The content of the resulting xterm.exe.stackdump file: ***content begins*** Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=610202F7 eax=00C500F8 ebx=612294A4 ecx=755F783F edx=002620F0 esi=00000000 edi=0022FA14 ebp=61020A10 esp=0022C7E4 program=C:\cygwin\bin\xterm.exe, pid 3220, thread main cs=001B ds=0023 es=0023 fs=003B gs=0000 ss=0023 Stack trace: Frame Function Args End of stack trace ***content ends*** This phenomenon (or a similar one where I'm getting only 1 or two lines of the exception and xterm does open) is very common: it happens in about 2 out of 3 startxwin.exe invocation attempts. The same thing happens when I'm trying to open a new xterm window from an existing one. I'm using Windows 7 (32 bits). This is probably a relevant info as my old laptop (with Windows XP) works fine (once again with a fresh installation of cygwin + cygwin/x). I'm somewhat surprised that this problem was not reported before since I know that my office mate suffers from it as well (she is also using Windows 7 32 bits). I've already tried to discuss this problem in the cygwin mailing list (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-04/msg00740.html) without a positive resolution. Thinking about it some more, I now understand that this problem occurs only under x, so I hope that this is the right mailing list. Any suggestions?

However, now I would like to move back to an X environment and therefore experimenting with Cygwin-X. My setup is that I have a Windows machine and I remotely connect to a linux box via ssh. Considering this I have installed Cygwin and then I run startxwin.sh. This opens an Xterm. Then I follow the following procedure: 1) Do an xterm -T "mercury" to open up xterms with titles. 2) Do an ssh on mercury to login to linux box. I face the following issues - 1) The name of the new window is not mercury, it has now changed. Since I need to open many such windows, I need to name them. Can you tell me how to accomplish the same? 2) I also need to change the default font. Currently it is too small. I prefer a fixed widht font with UTF-8 character set as default. Can anybody suggest something?

Put this in every one of your .bashrc files (i.e. on every machine): set_title() { echo -ne "\033]0;$*\007" } Then if your autogenerated files gank your title, you can gank it right back: $ set_title mercury Here's a more complete setup: setup() { set_title `hostname` export PS1='\h$ ' unalias PROMPT_COMMAND } Which gets rid of the "write a term title after every command" cutesiness. Best solution is to learn how the setup files work and modify them to suit yourself.

It's not for everyone, but I still love the old school "8x16" font. It's a little large, not resizable, and a little quirky, but the characters are quite distinct. Works well with higher resolution displays.

An interesting similarity between my experience and other posts here is that I have Hebrew enabled on my windows machine. Could this problem related to some locale or language setting imported from the window environment? Particularly, top.exe sometimes fails when running from xterm or the dos terminal (Cygwin Bash Shell; cygwin.bat) as long as xwin is on. Once it fails it persistently fails. If I close xwin, top works on the cygwin.bat dos terminal consistently. I have 'rebaseall'ed - it does not help.

When running this command the following was printed to stderr: /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'DcomLaunch': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'odserv': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'ose': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'pla': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'QWAVE': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'RpcEptMapper': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. /usr/bin/cygrunsrv: warning: OpenService failed for 'RpcSs': Win32 error 5 Access is denied. -- ------------------------- Daniel R.

This has been fixed to remain in fractional mode. o Added condition for GLIBC to not declare srandom(int) o Better resizing of message popup panel o Map of Spain included Portugal. From Eugen Dedu. o Double-clicking on either style or family would crash xfig o Export/Print grid units were not reset when loading Fig file of different units o When converting empty export/print grid units to fractional inches would make 0/2 o Escaped hyphens in man page From Roland Rosendfeld o When exporting to all three: PostScript, PDF and TeX, incorrectly generated PostScript and PDF that included LaTeX-only (special) text o Bug when doing Save As to a shorter filename - would corrupt name sometimes o Note about 450 pixels/cm didn't make it from the FORMAT3.1 file to FORMAT3.2 o Print command was using -P instead of -d for lp o On Cygwin, needed to double-escape PRINTER environment when backslashes in name o w_library.c had incompatible poiner type in call to ScanLibraryDirectory o Not enough characters allocated for ruler inch/cm indicators. Would cause segfault on zooming out because of longer ruler text, e.g. -10210cm ----------------------------------- Patchlevel 5 (Feb 22, 2007): NEW FEATURES: o Shift-U accelerator added to popup units panel o The library menu button sizes with the library panel, to show longer path names if the user wants. o The cursor for drawing lines, splines, etc. is a crosshair now instead of an arrow. o Snap features to allow snapping points to endpoints, midpoints and intersections of other objects. From Chris Moller. o Keyboard input of object coordinates for precise positioning. From Chris Moller. o Can grab arc anywhere along the curve instead of just at grab points From Chris Moller. o Added -noflipvisualhints for cases where, due to "different" pointer devices, they aren't really flipped, but the mapping indicates they are. o Export to all of PS, PDF and LaTeX in one operation From Alistair Ramsey o Reorganized Networks library and new devices: ASX-200, 1000, and 4000 by Bill Chimiak o New figures "betty.fig" (Betty Boop) and "nikke.fig" (German detective Nick Knatter) in Libraries/Examples drawn by Markku Reunanen o Can finish text input by pressing Escape. This removes the cancellation of a compose sequence (e.g. a-umlaut) o Actually a bug fix, import of PDF files is now possible. The code was there since version 3.2.3, but the user interface was not. o Nearly-full ANSI protoization of code by Harald Koenig o Installation of Libraries and doc files faster with tar instead of shell loop o New Gregorian chant music symbols from Bill Chimiak. Also, Music library divided into "chant" and "modern" o Popup edit panel slightly more compact vertically o New library "Fasteners" containing various bolts and screws From Jim Yuzwalk o Increased size of numeric entry fields in indicator panels o N-channel IGBT in Electronic/Schematics Library from Art Blair o starting values for arrow type, width, length, thickness may be specified on command-line or in X resources: -startarrowtype, -startarrowwidth, -startarrowlength, -startarrowthick BUGS FIXED: o xfig would crash on 64-bit processors because of a missing include, which causes new_string() to be declared implicitly as returning an integer. This may cause the top 32 bits to get lost and hence the crash. o Blanks not preserved in imported picture filename when reading Fig file o When in metric mode, decimal precision was ignored for dimension lines o When showing vertex numbers on objects, first vertex is now 0 to match edit window vertex numbers o Also, vertex numbers are not shown on inactive (grayed) layers o Widget shadow resources moved from Fig-color to Fig because they don't really have anything to do with color. There was a problem when running KDE because it set a global resource *Scrollbar*height: which made xfig freeze when *customization: -color was NOT used. o The point positioning indicator is turned on when editing a compound object to show the user that it is used o Increased the maximum size of images that can be imported. There was a limit in the PostScript image encoder of 4096x4096 pixels. This was increased to 8192x8192. o Centered text was changed to left-justified when flipped horizontally inside a compound object. o With -v option, after reporting the version, xfig would say that -v was an unknown option o Local locale was being used when writing the xfig cut buffer file instead of switching to "C" locale. This created commas instead of decimal (.) for numbers in those particular locales. From Dirk Osswald o Local locale was used when forming command for calling fig2dev, resulting in commas instead of decimals for floating point numbers. o count_user_colors buffer overflow fixed o Under Cygwin, temporary file stayed around after unlink(), causing error when importing more than one ps/eps/pdf file o Segfault when using -update because appres resources were NULL o -update option failed when not first option passed to xfig o Clicking window manager "close window" button in library titlebar didn't close the window o Wasn't distributing objects in compounds when there were only 2 objects o Some compilers complain about the order of declaration in u_fonts.h - fixed o Northern part of map of India was incorrect (Libraries/Maps/Asia/india.fig) o Map of Serbia was misnamed "yugoslavia.fig" (Libraries/Maps/Europe/yugoslavia.fig) o Map of Central Europe had old Yugoslavia instead of Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia- Herzegovina, and Macedonia (also, Slovenia was mistakenly inside the border) o Editing a compound object with more than 200 texts would crash xfig ----------------------------------- Patchlevel 5-alpha5 (April, 26, 2004): NEW FEATURES: o Added note to README and FAQ html file: If the Xaw or Xaw3d Athena widget sets are compiled with the ARROW_SCROLLBAR style of scrollbars, there is no StartScroll action and you won't be able to scroll using the wheel on the mouse. If you want to be able to scroll using the wheel, you must recompile the Xaw library from sources, disabling the ARROW_SCROLLBAR option. o Astrological symbols for planets in Miscellaneous/Astrology by Andrew Collier o Added key bindings to text dialogs to be more like modern systems (the Athena Widget Set that xfig uses is very old): Home: beginning-of-line End: end-of-line Del: delete-character-right o Added *.jpeg* to picture browse options o New libraries for electronics from Fabio Gonz??lez in Libraries/Electronics/Schematic/More BUGS FIXED: o typo in latex_and_xfig.html and LATEX_AND_XFIG files. Text should be: \convertMPtoPDF{foo.0}{1}{1} It was missing parameters {1}{1} o -correct_font_size missing from -help option list and man pages o -help and -version didn't work unless they were first in the options o -O option wasn't passed to fig2dev for overlapping pages in multiple page mode for PostScript export ----------------------------------- Patchlevel 5-alpha4 (Feb, 19, 2004): Note: There is a minor change to the copyright/permission notice for xfig. Basically, I have restored the part that allows one to sell xfig regardless of whether it is bundled as part of a package or not. This is identical to the original copyright/permission notice for xfig, which was based on the MIT (then later, the X Consortium) copyright notice. Here is the new notice (different files have different author copyrights at the top): > FIG : Facility for Interactive Generation of figures > Copyright (c) 1985-1988 by Supoj Sutanthavibul > Parts Copyright (c) 1989-2002 by Brian V.

NEW FEATURES: o Introduction.html and installation.html updated to include Macintosh port of xfig o Button to collapse depths of a compound object (make all same depth) in popup object editor o Grid changed from dotted line to light red solid line o Candle in Libraries/Miscellaneous by Dr. Lyman Hazelton o Right-click on depth checkbox sets current depth in indicator panel to that depth o Library of symbols used when diagramming folding instructions to make origami models and example contributed by Marc Vigo o Can adjust width and height directly in popup editor for picture objects o Support for David Hawkey's Xaw3D version 1.5E (http://www.visi.com/~hawkeyd/xaw3d.html) BUGS FIXED: o When loading a library object, if it contained only a compound and nothing else, when xfig promoted that compound to the toplevel the main comment was lost o Incorrect header files used for SmeBSB resulted in either segfault or none of the command panel entries being underlined o Drawing very large splines (e.g. at zoom = 0.01) caused integer roundoff errors, making xfig loop indefinitely o Bug where a line that had a zero width or length arrowhead was not redrawn after being moved, copied, canvas redraw, etc. o The page border and axis lines would obscure Fig objects when moving, copying etc. other objects on the canvas. o In the popup picture editor, if the relative position of the corners of the picture were changed, the rotation field was not updated (this bug was in 3.2.5-alpha3 only) o line, arc, ellipse length tool was reporting 0 length ----------------------------------- Patchlevel 5-alpha3 (Dec, 9, 2003): NOTE: o URL for information about the color optimization code (written by Anthony Dekker) has changed to: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~dekker/NEUQUANT.HTML NEW FEATURES: o -autorefresh command-line option (resource: Fig.autorefresh) which will make xfig look at the timestamp on the .fig file and automatically load it and display it everytime it changes. o Removed requirement to compile with WHEELMOUSE when using wheelmouse o New tower computers (Libraries/Computers/AOpenKF45E.fig and AOpenKF45E.fig from Dirko van Schalkwyk) o New 10/100 8port hub (Libraries/Networks/3Com3C16750.fig also from Dirko van Schalkwyk) o When placing library objects, the name and comments are displayed in message window o New flags (Libraries/Flags): Africa/Eritrea, Africa/Zimbabwe, Asia/Myanmar, Asia/Tajikstan, Asia/Kyrgystan, Europe/Croatia o non-polar capacitor added to Libraries/Electronic/Schematic o Mouse wheel can be used to scroll through filename lists in File and Export panels and icons or object lists in Library panel o Thickness of ticks in dimension lines are user-adjustable now o For attribute popup dialogs with only one text entry, keyboard now focuses on the entry as long as the pointer is anywhere in the dialog o When using the "Open compound, keep rest visible", the other objects are drawn in shades of gray similar to the inactive layers feature. o New library objects: adder, multiplier, sine-source and voltage-source in Electronic/Schematic by Hubert Lam o Zooming in or out with the Z or z key respectively will keep the canvas centered on the mouse pointer o Full version and patchlevel is included in Fig file header for diagnostics o Can explicitly set the rotation of imported pictures in edit panel after importing o Export option to produce both EPS and PDF (in two files) in one step. Useful for those who both use LaTeX and PDFLaTeX o "Epoch" added to rpm spec o New HP/GL2 (fig2dev) driver from Glenn Burkhardt with paper size selection, offset, centering and orientation options o New library object "atom" in Libraries/Miscellaneous is the classic drawing of an atom with electrons circling From Andrew B. Collier BUGS FIXED: o Missing #ifdef XAW3D in SimpleMenu.c o Bug when breaking a compound object - depths were added twice to the counts o When implicitly cancelling the placement of a library object by choosing another mode, xfig would do one of two things: 1. tell user to cancel or finish the current operation, but there was no way to do that 2. create the object that was being cancelled with extremely large, negative coordinates o Picture Reread button was active before file was read the first time o Rereading picture in edit popup produced bad colors o When using multiple copies of an imported picture, h/w ratio was not computed for copies o Importing PCX images were incorrect when bytes per line different from width*bpp o When passed a filename containing a directory name for a Fig object library using -library_dir, and that directory only contains Fig files and no subdirectories with Fig files, xfig segfaulted o Several checks for memory allocation failure added to the library loading procs o Forgot to free allocated memory when return abnormally from loading libraries o Path length check in loading libraries fixed o Missing include for put_msg prototype in e_measeure.c o Needed #ifdef for XtVersion in SmeBSB.c (X11R5 doesn't have international fontset) o Added SIGPIPE signal to ignore in case an external program dies when we're using pipes o Screen capture on an MSBFirst X server with 24/32 bits per pixel was incorrect. o Importing any image file on such a server was incorrect (bytes/bits reversed). o Reading GIF or PCX files on 24-bit server *and* on big-endian machine (e.g. Sparcstation) resulted in bytes being swapped and funny colors o Could popup unit dialog when drawing/editing objects o Embedded whitespace in filenames in recently loaded files weren't parsed properly (.xfigrc) o When pasting an object on the canvas, point positioning grid wasn't used o Bug when reading a compressed eps file (file handle was passed to open proc instead of name) o Minor grid spec used twice instead of minor/major when passed to fig2dev o Fixed conversions of export/print grid values when switching to/from metric, decimal or fraction o When loading or merging a file, xfig appended ".fig" to the name if there wasn't ".fig" in the name. Now it only appends ".fig" if there is no suffix (no "."). o When appending the ".fig" before the previous change, xfig would segfault o Libraries/Electronic/Schematic/transformer and transformer_ironcore aligned to 1/16" grid o Bugs in indicator panel display of text flags, dimension line params and arrow size params when cycling through settings with middle or right mouse button o Bug in callbacks for dimension line checkboxes that select actual length or user text o When exporting to Combined PDF/LaTeX it uses ".pdf" and ".pdf_t" suffixes because LaTeX doesn't recognize ".pdftex" as a PDF file o Better clipping around arrowheads on thick lines (lines that are thicker than the arrowhead is wide) o Checks for open splines of < 2 points when reading figure file and removes them o Clicking middle mouse button after creating first point of closed spline switched to freehand mode o Export panel sections would get messed up when changing export languages o Now checks whether scrollbars support StartScroll before trying to use it for the wheel scrolling. When the Xaw widgets are compiled with ARROW_SCROLLBAR, there is no such action. o pstex_t export lacked border option (-b) to align LaTeX text when pstex figure specified border (also fixed in fig2dev) o Create one picture object with no filename, then create another and xfig crashed o Some bugs when freeing dimension line components o Bad choices for grid dot spacing in metric mode in the 5mm grid, and decimal inch mode in the 0.5 and 1.0 inch grids o -international flag missing from xfig.html and xfig.man docs o Added call to XsetLocaleModifiers() when initializing input method (-international mode only) o xfig was limiting arrowhead lengths to 50 pixels instead of 50 inches, and the width to 10 pixels instead of 10 inches. o edit panel for circles shouldn't have "angle" entry o edit panel wasn't allowing typing in of negative angles for text and ellipses o Objects were sometimes drawn with a wild point when zooming o Full path was being added to default export filename and wasn't changing when user changed directories o When drawing a box or rounded box with the "show line lengths" on, the sizes were in Fig units (1200ppi) instead of user units. o Spacing cedilla (ISO 0xB8 / octal 270) was missing from CompKeyDB file o Changing the units in the popup edit panel for a text object caused a segfault. o Rulers and grid didn't change scale when user scale was != 1.0. Even though the message window showed the correct user scale when drawing objects, the rulers and grid still showed the unscaled values. o Axis lines through 0,0 now drawn after page border so it remains visible when there is a grid o Segfault if current directory was deleted after starting xfig o Positioning grid was set to "ANY" when editing a compound object, causing the original bounding box to be lost o Bug in arc drawing caused arcs to be drawn as circles at high zoom o Computing the area of a polygon larger than 38x38 inches overflowed calculation o Bug in bounds calculation for ellipses and circles that increased bounding box even with line width = 1 o Limit on number of styles in a family wasn't checked o If all depths were turned off and any edit operation was attempted on the canvas such as move object, delete object, xfig would hang, searching for objects indefinitely.

That's correct. If somebody has changed the system defaults I don't want overide these. Just copy /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Fig yourself.

If somebody has changed the system defaults I don't want overide these. Hmm... I have not changed the system defaults: the Fig* files were put there (/etc/X11/app-defaults) by previous installation of XFig (3.2.4), which was the first I did for Cygwin-1.7. So, if now they are not overwritten and XFig complains about them, it looks a little strange.

It's actually a preremove problem, not a postinstall problem. It looks like the previous xfig package was missing its preremove script, which would have removed the old Fig* files if they were unchanged from the defaults. The new xfig does have such a script, so this shouldn't be a problem in the future (assuming you manually copy the default files and don't change them).
