startxwin.bat causes unnecessary configuration issue
Not strictly speaking a bugreport (everything works as described), but a proposal how to make life easier: startxwin.bat currently contains the line SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin Unless your Cygwin Root happens to be at that location, this has to be edited manually. This would not be necessary in nearly all cases if we observe that (1) CYGWIN_ROOT is very often set system-wide anyway, after Cygwin has been installed, and (2) in the rare cases where it is unset, it is usually the same directory where startxwin.bat is located. Therefore, startxwin.bat can find out by itself where its root is: if defined CYGWIN_ROOT goto :OK set CYGWIN_ROOT=%~dp0\.. :OK Ronald -- Ronald Fischer rona...@eml.cc + If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, + and the bus is interrupted and the interrupt's not caught, + then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. + (cited after Peter van der Linden) -- 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/

about X
Hi. I have just installed xinit on my vista laptop. When I typed in 'xinit' in the cygwin console, I got a BIG BIG annoying X window which occupied all the space of my desktop and cannot be resized. When I started other programs in xterm, the new program just covered up the space where xterm used to be and I couldn't switch back to the xterm windows. How can I get a clean and separate xterm window? Thank you. -- 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/

If you're not familiar with how Cygwin-X works, you could benefit by taking a look at the documentation. There's a good walk-through of the install and basics for getting started. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Re: keypad assignments
Thomas, That may be my fault in fixing a problem with speech recognition and Cygwin. I'll have a look at that part of the special case table and undo that change if that is responsible. Paul Thomas Wolff wrote: Hello, I've managed to re-activate my Cygwin/XFree (there had been this disabled keyboard problem with a non-cygwin XKEYSYMDB variable setting since some recent release...). So I discovered that, assumedly with that recent major revision, a keyboard handling deficiency has been introduced: The keys of the right keypad (aka numeric keypad) do no longer emit the keysyms KP_Home, KP_Up etc as they used to do but just plainly Home, Up etc which are also the keysyms of the small keypad (aka editing keypad). This makes them indistinguishable for any application - even worse, this cannot be fixed by configuration since they even send the same keycodes! These are different keys - considering them as aliases is a waste of physical resources - and they must be distinguishable for an application. That means, they must have different keycodes and they should also have different keysyms by default - that's what the KP_ keysyms are designed for.
