Hi,
I have problems with my clipboard integration.
When I select something in X, the Windows clipboard gets cleared,
so there is some interaction between X' and Windows' clipboards.
But no data is transferred from X to Windows or vice versa.
I am running cygwin-1.7.7-1 (downloaded 2010-11-02)
Hi Jon,
thanks for giving your attention to this. 8-)
Can you give a detailed set of reproduction steps e.g. what
application are
your cutting from, pasting to?
It is reproducable in both directions (Win - X, X - Win), with any
application on both sides.
So I choose a xterm with a vim for
As a workaround, you could perhaps set your locale to
de_DE.ISO8859-1 (which
is a subset of CP1252), if you actually need to work with
CP1252 encoded data,
Hi Jon, that WORKS!! 8-)))
Thanks for the help. It's fine for me now.

Hi,
X starts fine under a user with local administrator rights.
When logged in to the same machine with another user that has no admin rights,
X won't start.
The log indicates that another X were already running, but it's not.
Output on the console is:

Hi Jon,
great help, yes the problem is related to /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 and /tmp/.X0-lock.
When these files are not present, the underpriviledged user can start X fine.
The situation is now as follows:
SCENARIO 1:
Log in as administrator. Start X.
Reboot PC and log in as normal user.

Hi,
on a a IBM Lenovo Laptop T60 there is a Fn key to adjust the screen
brightness and such.
That Fn key has the same keycode than the DEL key.
Therefore I can't change the Fn key with xmodmap (because I would change the
DEL key the same way.)
When I adjust the screen brightness, I lose
Thanks for the logs, that was very useful.
I still can't reproduce this (although holding AltGr down to make it
autorepeat seems the best way to try to do that). It is a timing issue with
the keypress/release messages so it might be sensitive to CPU speed, or
perhaps you have some software
Hi Jon,
maybe you are interested in this idea:
The wheel of a wheel mouse also working as middle mouse button can be quite
annoying, when you accidently paste lots of lines into
an xterm while scrolling up and down.
I thought an option -ignoremousewheelpress to XWin would be a great
Hi,
I wanted to ask if it's already known, with which release xterm's scrollbar bug
will be resolved.
Thanks!

Tilde sign (~) should be a normal (not a blind) key.

I assume that you see the same behavior with other X applications, i.e.

not xterm-specific?
No, at least xedit works fine on my PC, with blind keys and with mouse text
pasting,
no matter if the mouse pointer is really inside or on blue window frame or

Hi there,
Lenovo trackpoint scrolling events get buffered somewhere until I release the
button:
then I get hundreds of scrolling events all at once.
I can clearly see these events in xev.
Result is that I don't really experience scrolling, rather jumping up and down

In Windows, all blind keys followed by a space result in that character.
Same in XWin, but with one exception:

To reproduce (think of a tail -f instead of xev):
1. xterm -si -e /bin/xev

3. scroll the xterm up half way and remember the visible lines

The cygwin program run.exe is designed to do just that.

Hi Eliot,

I was using run.exe too. run.exe used to hide the window and the task bar entry.
But since my upgrade from Cygwin 1.7.9 to 1.7.15, run.exe only hides
