Re: gvim tiny font in 1.7.7
If this may help, I experienced again this problem today, right after switching to a second monitor (which changed my screen resolution). I restart the X server and it came back again.

No scrollbar with MSC Mentat
I am using cygwin 1.7.7 to get connectted to a local server (x86_64) running RHE5: $ ssh -X myserver (same issue with -Y) Then I launch a finite-element pre-processor called MSC Mentat: $ mentat2007r1 With this piece of software, the scrollbars are displayed for a very tiny time (0.1 seconds maybe) and disappear. When using the X server of the server (using vncserver for example and a vncviewer), the scrollbars appear normally. Cygwin 1.5 did the same.

Re: gvim tiny font in 1.7.7
When I first started gvim after my install, the font was invisibly tiny both for the content and for the menus. It is funny, I got exactly the same a few days ago. What is funny is that today it works perfectly. Have you tried to restart your X server?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xinit-1.2.0-2
IMPORTANT: THE startxwin.bat AND startxwin.sh SCRIPTS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED. I used to add the following option to XWin command because my screen resolution is now always recognized automatically: -screen 0 1920x1200 How can I do the same using .startxwinrc?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xinit-1.2.0-2
I used to add the following option to XWin command because my screen resolution is now always recognized automatically: -screen 0 1920x1200 How can I do the same using .startxwinrc? From the announcment: startxwin also accepts command line arguments to use a different DISPLAY number and add additional options to pass to the server. Please read the startxwin(1) manpage, which describes both the command-line arguments accepted by startxwin and the format of the $HOME/.startxwinrc file. I have read that but it was not clear to me. I suspect that I should write -- before the -screen option? Is that true?

screen not updated outside 1680x1050
My screen resolution is 1920x1200. The X windows are badly updated (sometimes yes, most of the time no) outside the top-left area 1680x1050. My problems are seen with xterm, gv, gvim, rxvt-x... so I think comes from X.org. To produce the problem: start an X windows program, then move the window to the right and go back to the left. For gvim, it is particularly annoying when maximizing the window. However /var/log/XWin.0.log says it read the good screen dimensions: Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 1.7.1.0 (10701000) Build Date: 2009-11-11 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1680 h 1050 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/VOR-CRV-01660:0 2009-12-17 13:37:31 _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 2009-12-17 13:37:35 (II) xorg.conf is not supported 2009-12-17 13:37:35 (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winPrefsLoadPreferences: /cygdrive/d/Documents/.XWinrc 2009-12-17 13:37:35 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 0007 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless = ShadowGDI 2009-12-17 13:37:37 winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 1680 height: 1050 depth: 32 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff ff00 00ff 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 2009-12-17 13:37:38 null screen fn ReparentWindow 2009-12-17 13:37:38 null screen fn RestackWindow 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init 2009-12-17 13:37:38 InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () 2009-12-17 13:37:38 Screen 0 added at XINERAMA coordinate (0,0). 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello 2009-12-17 13:37:38 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () 2009-12-17 13:37:38 MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support 2009-12-17 13:37:38 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel 2009-12-17 13:37:39 (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so 2009-12-17 13:37:39 (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0 2009-12-17 13:37:55 winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 840 525 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) 3 mouse buttons found 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 040C (040c) 2009-12-17 13:37:55 (--) Using preset keyboard for French (Standard) (40c), type 4 2009-12-17 13:37:55 Rules = base Model = pc105 Layout = fr Variant = none Options = none 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winProcEstablishConnection - Hello 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitClipboard () 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winClipboardProc - Hello 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:38:00 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:38:01 winGetDisplay: DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:01 winClipboardProc - DISPLAY=:0.0 2009-12-17 13:38:02 winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. 2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc - WM_DISPLAYCHANGE - orig bpp: 32, last bpp: 32, new bpp: 32 2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc -

I'd pass -screen 0 1920x1200 to XWin.exe. I tried this to reduce my screen resolution, and saw things similar to what you describe outside the declared screensize. Works fine, thanks a lot!

You might try the workaround of removing the checkX line from startxwin.bat It is strange as it reworked alone. I also removed the checkX line as I do not start xterm.

Re: updated 1.7 - rxvt-x crashes
I updated cygwin 1.7 this morning and rxvt-x shortcut does not work any more. The window appears and disappears quickly. Here is the content of /var/log/XWin.0.log if it can help.

Re: [Xwin 1.7]: copy from rxvt-x to windows application does not work
If I run rxvt-x (1.5 or 1.7) with Xwin (1.7), when I select something in the terminal output and then type Ctrl-V in any Windows application, this does not work. Some application say that the clipboard is like corrupted. In general, if I type Ctrl-V several times, after a while, the text is pasted (after 4-5 times of Ctrl-V). If I use Xwin 1.5 or rxvt-native it works fine (with rxvt version either 1.5 or 1.7). Am I the only one with such a problem?

Xwin does not start because CYGWIN_ROOT is wrong in startxwin.bat
This bug is valid for 1.5 and 1.7: I have installed cygwin in D:\cygwin-1.5 but startxwin.bat contains SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin It should be updated to SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin-1.5 Can someone change this in the installation process? Also the Start in directory should also be D:\ or D:\cygwin-1.5 Frédéric -- 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 server causing IE lockups
But I have put this on the back-back burner for now. My work-around is to only use X for when I need gnuplot and then I exit from X. I have just disabled the clipboard transfer for TightVNC and it seems I have no more issue. F.

Re: I Cannot Start the X Server
I recently upgraded and ran into this problem as well. I watched the XWin.exe process using ProcMon from sysinternals.com and it doesn't look like a problem of directory / file / user permissions as the FAQ would suggest. From ProcMon it looks like /tmp/.tX0-lock is being deleted before it is moved. Specifically, it is being opened with options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Delete On Close The file is then closed and re-opened and the re-open fails because it no longer exists. Have you looked at this? http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#modular F.

Re: X server causing IE lockups
The common thing seems to be vncclient. I guess I'll check on the vncclient list and see if there are any clues. Are we on our own? I will try to start vncclient after I start X and see if that matters. Have you tried sorting this out at all? Gentlemen start your finger pointing! It's vncclient! No, it's Xfree! No it's winxp! Yay! Not our problem! I found another person that has the same problem (2 years ago): http://lightbody.net/blog/2006/02/cygwinx_and_vnc_clipboard_conf.html He has only conflicts with clipboard. I have clipboard conflicts and network issues. F.

Re: X server causing IE lockups
Maybe we have an exploit on our systems. Or possibly we have the same video driver? Or same network card. Etc. I'll gather together what hardware I've got and we can compare. I have a notebook : DELL Latitude D830, Video = nVidia Quadro NVS 140M F.

xwin crashes and disables network
Since I updated to the new X.org 7.4 I have xwin crashes. I am using cygiwn version 1.5.25-cr-0x5f1. This is how it happens: - suddenly, all network connexions (cygwin and windows) stop working (no internet...). rxvt freezes - when I kill xwin (kill -9 from the cygwin bash shell), all works again. - often, at the same time, windows clipboard does not work any more. - this happens 1-2 times a week roughly. I am using the \cygwin\bin\startxwin.bat file to start Xwin which contents is given below. F.

Re: gv became really slow?
It used to be the case that opening a postscript file with gv on cygwin was more or less immediate. I've recently updated cygwin and now it takes about 2-5 seconds (a clock is displayed while gv is thinking). This happens even if the postscript file contains only a few words. For example, if you do: % echo hello hello.txt % a2ps hello.txt -o hello.ps % gv hello.ps The gv version I have running is 3.6.5 (cygwin 1.5.25 on XP). I have no way of telling whether this is a cygwin problem or something else. But running the above example on a debian machine with a gv-3.6.5 installed results in an immediate, much snappier, response. Is this just my problem? And if not, can something be done? I confirm that gv is practically unusable since I updated to x.org 7.4. It is very very slow. For the example you give, it takes only 2 seconds to load (same version 3.6.5, Windows XP, Dual Core2 Duo 2.6 GHz) but on the large ps files I use it takes ages to show compared to before I upgraded. This may be a problem of the X system so I forward the email to the list.
