I successfully installed Cygwin/X (on Jan 28, 2004) on my Win98SE (with latest patches) PC. I execute startxwin.bat, which starts up an xterm running bash. It works great until I drag select a portion of the screen. When I click in the screen again, unhighlighting the selected area, the window hangs (mouse pointer does not move and I can't type in it). I have to ctrl-alt-del to kill it and restart the window and the X server. I checked the Cygwin and Cygwin FAQs and User's Guides, and searched both of their mailing list archives, but didn't see anything directly applicable. I downloaded setup.exe, and installed everything after setting all packages to "install", not "default". The installation proceeded without incident. I added the -clipboard to the Xwin invocation so I could copy between the xterm and Windows applications. This had worked for a few days, but now I can hang it with the first drag select/unselect. I tried cygcheck -s-v-r, but it seemed like it would never finish. Trying just -s, it seems to take a long time to find each application (cp, cpp, find, etc.), so I killed that. Any thoughts on what might be my problem? Thanks in advance.
I also tried C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xwinclip.exe, to see if it would run, thinking I would remove the -clipboard switch from xwin, but that wouldn't even start up, not being able to find cygcygipc-2.dll. But, I see it under cygwin\bin. Do I just add this path to my DOS path?
