I just tried your procedure, but still get the same error messages from startxwin.

Re: Slow response to keypresses in xorg-server-1.8.0-1
Wed, 02 Jun 2010 09:52:28 -0700 I have this problem too. I found a weird, non-code partial solution: run some sort of constantly-updating graphical program in the background, like ico or something like that. This workaround is apparently avoiding the X 1.8.0 response problem. I am running xeyes and the slow response problem is no longer getting in the way of using X on a Dell E6410. I am using Version 1.8.0 with a build date of 2010-04-02 . -- 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: startxwin/XWin won't start properly
Hi, In the past I have not found a good way to remember which packages where installed (e.g. non-default packages). Is there a file/way to run setup.exe so that a specified set of packages are installed? I say this, because the only way I know to clean up the install is to delete it, and re-install. (I have several times just run setup.exe, and it does seem to update some packages, but as you state, it is not completely clean) Thanks, -Mike -Original Message- From: cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-xfree-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Larry Hall (Cygwin X) Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2010 6:40 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: startxwin/XWin won't start properly On 6/29/2010 10:50 AM, Bradley, Mike wrote: Hi, All was good, till a couple weeks ago when I added some packages to cygwin, and several packages where also upgraded.

It would be ludicrous for me to embellish. :-) snip (I have several times just run setup.exe, and it does seem to update some packages, but as you state, it is not completely clean) Actually, that's not what I meant at all. Your cygcheck output showed that you had, at one time, installed Cygwin to C:\cygwin and C:\cygwin\cygdrive, both of which are now ORPHANED, meaning that at least some (could be all) of the installation is now missing. You should make sure that the entire installation has been deleted in both places. Once that is true, you should run 'cygcheck --delete-orphaned-installation-keys' so that cygcheck will not report those directories anymore. This is something completely different from 'setup.exe' and its installation process. 'setup.exe' knows what it has installed and where and will maintain those packages (updating them as required and requested) whenever you run it. It cannot, however, maintain an installation if it has been removed or manipulated by other tools, which is what seems to have happened to your two orphaned installations. So you need to finish cleaning these up as I described above. It may simply be a bookkeeping exercise or it might be more than that. But it's worth checking out. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd. (508) 893-9889 - FAX Holliston, MA 01746 _ A: Yes. Q: Are you sure?

RE: startxwin/XWin won't start properly
In the past I have not found a good way to remember which packages where installed (e.g. non-default packages). Is there a file/way to run setup.exe so that a specified set of packages are installed? OK, I removed my old cygwin installation (the directory which contains /usr, /bin/, etc.), and re-installed a new version. I kept the cygwin_package directory, but setup.exe did not remember my previous installation. In the past I have had to install cygwin on multiple machines, and it would be nice to learn a way to have a file which describes the packages I want to install, rather than having to recall them all. Actually, that's not what I meant at all.

The good news is a complete re-install of cygwin does work, so I am (almost) up and running :-) Thanks, -Mike

'setup.exe' doesn't remember your previous installations - ones you have removed. There'd be little call for that kind of functionality. 'setup.exe' does allow you to install from a local directory though. So if you keep the directory that contained all the packages you've downloaded previously, you can point 'setup.exe' at this directory and tell it to install everything. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
