extensions (shared mem, security)
looking at the startup log, I don't see the X-Security extension being initialized. Is it not supported? Also, perhaps more important for me is the message: 2009-12-15 10:39:27 XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel NT supports shared memory objects and I thought cygwin uses shared memory for cross-process communication. So what's this about X not knowing about the shared memory support? linda -- 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/

What can I say, but thanks for the str8-up. :-) Guess I have more configurations changes to make... -l -- 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/

This is rather strange and I don't even know if I have a correct repro. The symptoms I see is that I am able to copy in X (XEmacs or xterm) and paste in Windows but not vice-versa. Immediately after I start X copy/paste works both ways. I suspect this has something to do with Microsoft Visual Studio. It seems to hijack the clipboard and copy/paste stops working altogether. I found this using a utility GetOpenClipboardWindow I found on the net. When copy/paste across windows Apps stops working, this utility always reports that VSS owns the clipboard. I often have to kill VS to get other programs to interact with the clipboard. But even after I kill VS Studio, Cygwin-X is not able to get data from the clipboard. Any time I paste in X I see the above message in /var/log/XWin.0.log Any suggestions what might be wrong and how I can work-around this issue?
