cygwin windows are white in 2nd monitor
I upgraded to XP SP2, yes I was behind. After patching, all windows that are controlled by cygwin, local xterm, remote display's sent to this computer, are all white. The windows work fine in the primary screen (screen 1). I start cygwin with c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxwin.bat. I have not modified this script from the default install so XWin starts with "XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error". After patching XP, I thought that I might need to reinstall cygwin, so I reinstalled all components of cygwin I was using with setup.exe. I am not sure what version of Cygwin, but hopefully it is up to date since I used setup.exe to install. When I run uname -a I get CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.20_0.156/4/2.

Re: Xwin.log error
PMFJI here, but why in the world are you using startxwin.bat a 2nd time to start a 2nd xterm? In all my cygwin-X experience, starting a second xterm is just a matter of using the xterm icon distributed with the other X-server pieces from setup.exe. I think it is an optional install item, so you may have missed it if you only specified the defaults to install. The item is labeled "X-start-menu-icons". Once it is installed, go to Start/All Programs/Cygwin-X, there is an xterm icon there you can use to start another xterm. Or you can extract the xterm startup line from startxwin.bat and store it as startxterm.bat. HTH Peter --- Chuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > X11 has been working fine on my PC for 2 years.

Xwin.log error
X11 has been working fine on my PC for 2 years. This week I started getting an error message box whenever I try to run startxwin.bat a 2nd time in order to launch a 2nd xterm. The xterm comes up but only after the error message box appears. XWin.log contains this... Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress Of course there's another X server running. I'm trying to open a 2nd xterm. Never had a problem doing this until this week though. It's almost like XWin.exe can't determine that another instance of itself is already running. Coincidentally I also installed util-linux this week. Could that have caused this? I know there's an mcookie program that's part of that package.
