-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All,
I think I've got Cygwin and XFree installed correctly on my Win98 SE box. I type "think" because I have no standard to go by. How can I tell when Cygwin is correctly installed? It currently runs and I can access info, man, sh, bc and most other good things that I know about. I'm in the same position with the X window stuff. I have no idea what I'm supposed to see. Since there are at least three ways of starting X detailed in the FAQ/User Manual, I'd like to try and tell you folks what I see when I try them and then you can tell me if this is normal or not, OK? First attempt was the startxwin.bat I get a full screen window with a bash window. When I left clicked the mouse and selected "exit" the bash window lost it's title. When I clicked the Windows Close button the Full Screen window went away and was replaced with another one. This one had no sub-windows and the mouse was not clickable but it did move. The next attempt was to start Cygwin and then type "startx" at the command prompt. Other than giving me a Xclock, unresponsive xterm and two bash windows this one behaved the same as the above. The last one was to start Cygwin and type: "sh /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh" (without the quotes) on the command prompt. This gave me a nice aquamarine (?) window with an Xclock and a bash window. Once again exit removes the windows titles, but this time close does close the window without a second one opening. OK, are these normal? If not, what is wrong with my install that is causing the problem and how do I go about fixing it? This is a totally fresh install, no files added. - -- Best regards, Magus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBPj53lvqiG3YPjS8zEQLIjgCfQetZck0spAPWh/vxveyuqY55QEMAniy+ 7XfeNp4wZ5MEv4H5ni4Ooc9B =k9cU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
