Hi, I just installed the latest Cygwin and added XFree86 4.2.0 onto it on my Win2000-Pro machine.
Cygwin version: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 MY-PC 1.3.9(0.51/3/2) 2002-01-21 12:48 i686 unknown Cygwin works just perfect and I can start XFree86, but as soon as there's a bell, XFree86 freezes completely. I thought it might be a problem with the XFree86 release and downgraded it to 4.1.0 - but it had the same problem. Bell (like CTRL+G) works just fine in bash etc. outside X. I have been trying to silence the bell with termcap entries and with xset -b but it has had no effect at all. As soon as there's a bell, X hangs completely. I tried to do an strace to see what system calls were made, and I could tell that when X hung, it hung completely. No more system calls were made from that point on. If anyone would like a copy of the trace (_very_ long), feel free to ask me and I'll mail it. But have anyone else had this problem? And a solution? Thank you very much! Best regards, -Allan Jensen
