Anders, One note for you though:
The parameters -rootless, -multiwindow, -scrollbars, and (-nodecoration and -lesspointer) cannot all be used at once like that. You should be using instead: start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard Now, you also need to REM out any windowmanager (twm, mwm, etc.) and you need to REM out xwinclip. I suspect that you are starting xwinclip, which is causing a crash when you also use -clipboard.

There are many other people on the list that can help, so your response will always be faster if you email the list.

Removing "-clipboard" stops the crash. Let me know if I can help you figure this out. anders -----Original Message----- From: Harold L Hunt II [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 26, 2003 8:04 PM To: cygx; cygxannounce Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 75 Links: I just posted Test 75 to the server development page: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/ You can install the Test 75 package via setup.exe by selecting the 'test' package (and be sure to check the 'Bin' box): XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-23 Server Test Series binary and source code releases are now available via the sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/shadow/ directory. You may wish to note the desired filename in the links below, then download from your closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html). Server binary, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test75.exe.bz2 (1202 KiB) Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-20030126-2245.tar.bz2 (107 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against Test74 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-Test74-to-Test75.diff (4 KiB) Changes: 1) winshaddd[nl].c/winReleasePrimarySurfaceShadowDD[NL] - Check that pddsPrimary is not NULL before calling IDirectDrawSurface[2|4]_SetClipper. This most likely showed up as a crash during video depth changes. (Alexander Gottwald) 2) winshaddd.c - Change a few accidental IDirectDrawSurface4 references to IDirectDrawSurface2. (Harold Hunt) Enjoy, Harold
