Can't type letter e in password box
Hi, I'm running Xfree86 4.2.0 on cygwin 1.3.10, and have had set my keyboard to xmodmap.uk. All the keys seem to work fine in xterm, but when I run the netscape directory 4.13 console, a login box comes up,and it won't let me print the 'e' character in the password box. I tried this with Exceed and on Linux and it was fine though. Any ideas? TIA, JS. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
can't open XDisplay
Hello,
I am compiling a linux XWindows application in win98 using cygwin/xfree86.
But when I execute the program, opening XDisplay fails, due to the following
code fragment
dpy = XOpenDisplay(getenv("DISPLAY"));
if (dpy == 0)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Can't open X display\n");
exit(1);
}
what could be the problem???
thanx

Re: F1 binding on twm failed.
Harold Hunt wrote: Christian, This question is really off-topic for this mailing list. I am not agree (please, see below cause i think Cygwin/XFree doesn't give events to the window manager and so it is a bug). ... Thanks a lot for information links and usage about twm. When you press F1 the mouse cursor has to be over the root window and the mouse cursor does not change to a black circle like it does with the iconify menu command. However, the next window title that you click on (yes, it has to be the title) will get iconified. It is the same for me (you did show me the way). So, the behavior is a little strange, but I can't tell you if this is different than the way binding F1 to inconify would work on, say, Linux. I did some tests on a Gnu/Linux (Redhat 7.0): 1/ put mouse cursor on a shell window and press F1: a) Cygwin/XFree Nothing, to iconify a window you must: - put the mouse cursor on the root window - press F1 - clic on the title window b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The window is iconified with one click, on the title of the window or on the body of the window. 2/ put mouse cursor on the emacs window and press F1: a) Cygwin/XFree Emacs calls the help menu of emacs b) Gnu/Linux/XFree The emacs window is iconified. my conclusion: Cygwin/XFree doesn't give the F1 event to the window manager. I consider it is a bug 8- In past, the same tests with XWin32 gives good results. So, what is wrong ? Thanks a lot for any help. Cpm. -- Christian P. MOMON ONE2TEAM RD [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You need to force Cygwin/XFree86 to use the GDI engine with -engine 1. Back to exams now, Harold Hello, My apologies in advance if I've missed this question in the archives or manu al s, but has anyone had a problem getting the Cygwin XFree86 displaying on deskt op s shared via PCAnywhere and NetMeeting? I am seeing the same behaviour on bot h. Basically, on the PC that is running X and hosting either PCAW or NM, the X se ssion displays normally. However, the display on the remote PC does not updat e. If you minimize and restore the X session, you can see an updated view on th e remote PC, but that's the only way. There must be some refresh issue with PCA W and NM not realizing that the X session is updating the screen. On a side not e, Lotus' SameTime IM client doesn't have a problem sharing the X session. Than ks in advance for any advice.

Legacy Installation of XFree86/Cygwin vs. Setup.exe XFree86 Packages
Hi, I installed XFree86/Cygwin via the semi-manual procedure that predates the release of Setup.exe packages. I want to know how I should handle switching over to the Setup.exe-based installation of XFree86/Cygwin. Should I just download the packages and install over the existing XFree86/Cygwin installation? (I always download binary source packages and then separately install only the binaries, keeping the sources in tarball form until I should happen to need them). If it matters, I've installed a couple of separate XFree86 software packages (XFig and the NCAR Graphics and NCL systems). The NCAR software installation isn't trivial, so if I could avoid having to redo it, that would be preferable. Thanks. Randall Schulz Mountain View, CA USA
problem with start Xfree86
I`ve installed Cygwin/XFree86, but I can not run it. It show error : XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server 127.0.0.1:0.0 In FAQ is this : Server Test Series release Test44, released on 2001-08-15, changes the maximum number of clients from 32 to 1024 by passing the square of getdtablesize () to setdtablesize (). ..so I`ve downloaded this XWin-Test44.exe.bz2 and run it, but another error: Fatal Server Error: could not open default font 'fixed' What must i do with it??

RE: problem with start Xfree86
Mi, ..so I`ve downloaded this XWin-Test44.exe.bz2 and run it, but another error: Fatal Server Error: could not open default font 'fixed' You really didn't want to do that. Test44 is wy older than the 4.2.0 release. Please revert to the previous executable. The 4.2.0 server is producing the same behavior, but the error messages are redirected to /tmp/XWin.log. Have a look there and you will see the same error message of could not open default font 'fixed'. The answer for that error is at: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-error-font-eof However, you'll probably be better off to delete /usr/X11R6 and /etc/X11 and reinstall using Cygwin's setup.exe. Just go into setup.exe, expand the XFree86 category and choose the XFree86-base package.
