X.org 7.4 dying under Geomview
I have also noticed that, in -multiwindow mode, graphical updates for Geomview's camera window now only happen for the area covered by the original camera position. That is, if you move the Windows window on screen, only the area of that window that overlaps with the area of original window content's position will be updated with new animations prompted by SaVi. (Rooted desktop drawing behaviour is fine. Either windowing mode crashes the Xserver after about 30 seconds of use of SaVi and Geomview.) This drawing behaviour is a regression in behaviour from the previous X multiwindow behaviour, where SaVi and Geomview animated fine. http://www.geomview.org/ http://savi.sf.net/ I'm using SaVi and Geomview under Cygwin/X and WinXP SP2 (a 2MB Thinkpad T43). See: http://savi.sf.net/ The new X server has a nasty habit of dying horribly when I begin using SaVi and Geomview - there's your test case. I can live without the hardware acceleration - it's a good way of tightening SaVi's geomview commands to remove redundant drawing and group drawing commands together to remove unnecessary geomview updates - but other geomview users will have a different view. And only getting thirty seconds or so of use before the X server dies and takes everything else with it is a showstopper for all of us. Geomview now seems to be easier to build under the new Xserver regime - ./configure and make just work and do the right thing without command-line nudges - but it's far less robust and reliable in use under the new X server.

Re: -query not working on cygwin/windows
This is an update on my hard-fought attempt to get -query access to a linux xdmcp server running CentOS 5 from my Windows PC running cygwin-x. I installed X-Win32 (a commercial X-server) on my Windows PC. Unlike cygwin-x and Xming the X-Win32 server does detect available xdmcp hosts when I use the -broadcast switch. But I can only get a login prompt one of them, an HPUX host. My linux box is in the broadcast list but X-Win32 won't connect to it. No reason or error message is given. I may go ahead and purchase a copy X-Win32 just so I can get their tech support people involved. Anyway, my question is, why won't cygwin-x bring up the same -broadcast list as X-Win32? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22-query%22-not-working-on-cygwin-windows-tp22007087p22104796.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/

Cygwin Xserver - Run Applications on host forever?
Hi guys, I use a win xp laptop (with cygwin,xserver,openssh) to connect to a linux red hat machine. Everything is going fine... Every time i power off my laptop though i lose whatever terminals/apps i had on the linux-red-hat machine. Is there a way that i can get the linux apps to run forever, and then i can just connect to them as i please using cygwin? I think vnc allows this (if i recall correctly) but doesnt vnc also force to to view the entire linux desktop on your windows machine as well? Id prefer not to do that... Any idea's how to do this on cygwin?

Try looking in the logs on your Linux box as Jon suggested. Reading the man pages for your distro will tell you where the logs are. Try man xdm and man xauth, for a start. You are also likely to get less speculative answers by asking on the forum specific to your Linux distribution. Perhaps it would be better if you told us what you are trying to achieve rather than what you are attempting in order to achieve it. In other words, you have told us that you can't connect using -query, rather than WHY you are trying to connect using XDMCP. If you are simply trying to get Linux apps to display on your Windows box, then you are probably better off using the ssh -Y method rather than XDMCP.

x keyboard with most keys dead since update -- faq answer 3.2 no help
Hi Everyone Please help, I am quite desperate. The day before yesterday I inadvertently upgraded to the new version of X. I had had a slight problem -- emacs suddenly froze, and on restart, I found myself with a US keyboard layout throughout X. (I need latin-american). I thought that perhaps downloading setxkbmap using cygwin setup might help restore the keyboard layout, but I accidentally ended up downloading the whole current version of cygwin. On restarting the XWin server, I found that xterm now did not respond to the keyboard. More exactly, a little trial and error has shown that some keys work and some don't. The keys that do not work are the main alphanumeric and punctuation keys. But the spacebar, tab, enter, backspace, delete, cursor movement keys, all numberpad keys, the special / key, (and probably all the function keys also) all do work. I can also paste onto the command line. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. I have been searching for an answer for the past two days. There is what seems to be the perfect solution in the Cygwin XFree FAQ -- question 3.2. Unfortunately I am already using the startxwin.bat from the /usr/bin directory. I have the same problem even when I start XWin by double-clicking on this exact file. Viewing the file shows no reference to the XKEYSYMDB environment variable, and when I paste echo $XKEYSYMDB into the xterm command line and press Enter, nothing but a blank line is produced. This seems to indicate that my problem is not the same as the problem that Answer 3.2 is the solution to. In my attempts to solve the problem I have done a complete reinstall-from-scratch of cygwin. Same result -- can't use the keyboard. I need cygwin for my work -- and I haven't been able to do any work for the last three days. Please help!

This problem probably depends on which font packages you had installed, which I can't tell. Can you check /var/log/setup.log to see if the post-install scripts for the font packages ran successfully or not? Another Vista post-install difference: there are no X11 entries in the start menu.

Re: -query not working on cygwin/windows
This is a update including further information regarding my quest to get cygwin/x to connect to my CentOS linux server via xdmcp. I believe I have isolated the problem to either cygwin/x or Windows, probably Windows because no X-server that I've tried works. I've tried cygwin/x, Xming, and X-Win32. I've isolated the problem by booting my Windows PC from a Linux LiveCD (pclos). Using the pclos X-server I successfully connected to my CentOS host using X :1 -query centos box . It works perfectly. A beautiful gdm login screen pops up immediately. I think this proves that xdmcp is configured correctly on the CentOS host and that my network is not contributing to the problem. The above successful connection seems to isolate the problem to either cygwin/x, Windows, or the combination of both. Although no one on this site has confirmed that they are actually using cygwin/x successfully in an xdmcp environment I'm assuming that it does work for somebody. If that assumption is correct then it appears something in my Windows configuration is blocking cygwin/x, and the other X-servers, from working properly. Could it be that necessary ports on my Windows box are blocked? I have my Windows firewall turned off. But I'm not sure that disabling the firewall opens the ports. Do I even need to open certain ports on the Windows box? This is an area that I know virtually nothing about. Phil, you had several questions. One was, why do you want to use xdmcp?. I want to use xdmcp for the same reason anyone wants to use it and for the same reason that it exists. That is, I want to log in to a complete gnome environment. I don't want to run individual applications. You suggested I contact someone who is familiar with my Linux distribution to make sure I have xdmcp set up correctly. I have already done that. I am asking many of the same questions on the CentOS forum that I'm asking here. You gave me several links to study. I've read those and more. I've been at this for days. You asked why I'm blaming cygwin. I don't know what I said that made you think that. I'm not blaming anybody or anything. I'm just trying to get a gdm login screen on my PC. My problem may be related to Windows security. Can you suggest a good forum where I can find an expert on that? I don't know any Windows experts personally. I'm not sure they exist. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22-query%22-not-working-on-cygwin-windows-tp22007087p22112058.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
Re: x keyboard with most keys dead since update -- faq answer 3.2 no help
Hi I forgot about your third suggestion -- and in fact setxkbmap us restores the keyboard! But leaves me with a US layout... So maybe the trouble is a corrupted la layout? Thanks for the help.

The day before yesterday I inadvertently upgraded to the new version of X. I had had a slight problem -- emacs suddenly froze, and on restart, I found myself with a US keyboard layout throughout X. (I need latin-american). I thought that perhaps downloading setxkbmap using cygwin setup might help restore the keyboard layout, but I accidentally ended up downloading the whole current version of cygwin. On restarting the XWin server, I found that xterm now did not respond to the keyboard. May we see your /var/log/XWin.0.log, please. Does setting a different keyboard map using setxkbmap make any difference (as http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-xkb-not-working)? Cygcheck output as asked for in http://cygwin.com/problems.html ? More exactly, a little trial and error has shown that some keys work and some don't. The keys that do not work are the main alphanumeric and punctuation keys. But the spacebar, tab, enter, backspace, delete, cursor movement keys, all numberpad keys, the special / key, (and probably all the function keys also) all do work. I can also paste onto the command line. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. I have been searching for an answer for the past two days. There is what seems to be the perfect solution in the Cygwin XFree FAQ -- question 3.2. Unfortunately I am already using the startxwin.bat from the /usr/bin directory. I have the same problem even when I start XWin by double-clicking on this exact file. Viewing the file shows no reference to the XKEYSYMDB environment variable, and when I paste echo $XKEYSYMDB into the xterm command line and press Enter, nothing but a blank line is produced. This seems to indicate that my problem is not the same as the problem that Answer 3.2 is the solution to. In my attempts to solve the problem I have done a complete reinstall-from-scratch of cygwin. Same result -- can't use the keyboard. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem

Hmm currently for a latin american keyboard, we (effectively) do an internal 'setxkbmap la' Unfortunately, it seems that this sets a Laos keyboard (I think this might have been right historically, but has changed, layout codes have been rationalized to match ISO 3166-1 country codes) I suspect 'setxkbmap latam' will work much better KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0xa1, root 0x7c, subw 0x0, time 10376624, (1,81), root:(1862,343), state 0x10, keycode 24 (keysym 0x1000ebb, U0EBB), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False This turns out to be the clue needed, as U+0EBB is some Lao vowel sign, as I'm sure you know :-) -- 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/

RE: -query not working on cygwin/windows
Yes, I've read the information at the link you provided. It says to open port 177/UDP and ports 6000-6005(TCP). But it doesn't say whether that applies to the PC where the X-server is running, or just the xdmcp host. I'm 99% sure I've got those ports open on my CentOS host (the xdmcp server). There's a GUI screen specifically for doing that. And I've done it. But I don't know whether the ports are open on my Windows PC where the X-server is running. I turned my Windows firewall off. But I don't know if that opens the ports. So I have two questions. First, do I even need to open the ports on Windows? Second, how do I do it? I think I really need a Windows XP firewall/ports expert. But I don't know where to find one. If any here knows how to tell what ports are open in Windows, please respond.

Can't move or resize xterms within twm
Hello All, I just upgraded X11 to the latest version. The default behavior is to launch twm when I run startx. After first running into and working around this problem: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-02/msg0.html by doing this: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-02/msg00115.html I have run into another. After launching twm, it successfully inserts several xterms and an xclock into the twm window. However, I can not move or resize the xterms within twm. I am able to use the xterm's dropdown menus, but that's about it. Any help or feedback will be appreciated. I have enclosed my cygcheck output as an attachment.
