Sorry for breaking the Mail Thread... I had other emergencies to deal with.
But previously I wrote: Subj: RH-EL-4 -vrs- RH-EL-5 (7-jun-2007) And complained about two machines: Older RH-EL-4 working great with cygwin-X New RH-EL-5 and cygwin Locking up. More specifically, I wrote: >> But when connecting to RH-EL-5 - provided I do nothing with the keyboard >> it works perfectly. >> If however, if I type anything on the keyboard - 1 letter, or 10 to 20 >> letters... within seconds of typing something, CygwinX totally hangs for >> some period of time (10 to 20 seconds) - ie: Windows says "it is not >> responding" - then it refreshes - catches up on what I type, then goes away >> for 10 to 20 seconds... repeat for ever.... Holger Krull - wrote back and suggested: >> Still starting a complete kde? Try starting netscape alone to see >> if it suffers from the same effect. Actually, Holger, it does, in that it tells me more. In that mode, it NEVER fails. That is to say: 1) SSH into the box and run(a complete KDE) "startkde" Locks up as I describe. 2) SSH into the box - run "gnome-session" I had forgotten about GNOME... Duh.. Works - no problem. 3) SSH into the box - run "xterm" (ie: xterm raw, no window dressing, title bar, etc) Works just fine - I can run firefox - works fine 4) Continuing from #3 - xterm raw, no window manager I can run "twm" - which gives me window dressing, title bar, etc) Works just fine - No problem. Thus the only combination that does not work is RH-EL-5, "startkde" and SSH and CYGWIN-X Note: I have no direct access to the machine, my only access is via SSH (cygwin-openSSH to be exact). It works - but I'd like to get the KDE desktop to work. Holger Krull also suggested: >> Create a new user on rh-el-5 to get a fresh profile. >> Not sure if it helps but worth a try. I started on this machine as a "fresh user" no problem. Also given the above additional findings - I doubt that is the issue. -Duane. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
