Re: xfree problem (new snapshot available)
Chris, Pierre, Ok. It looks like we may still be doing some more tweaking anyway. I downloaded the cygwin1-20020701.dll snapshot at 0840 this morning (20020702). I can now make xterm.exe work by using the 20020701 snapshot and I can break xterm.exe by using the default cygwin1.dll (whatever the latest stable was). I consider this bug fixed, for now. Hopefully no new `gotchas' will pop up. Thanks for taking care of this, Harold
Morning cygwin1.dll snapshot XFree test
I grabbed a copy of the newest cygwin1.dll at 0745 CST this morning. I installed it on a Win2000 machine in the office that I had not really touched with respect to XFree. I modified the path to include the xfree bin material, copied xinitrc to home and renamed, and created a blank .Xauthority. Finally, I unzipped the cygwin1.dll snapshot, renamed, and copied to /bin, after backing up the existing version. Oh, I forgot, I was logged into the network domain (same as my laptop), not the local box. I then used startx, X windows came up quickly, with the expected clock and 3 windows, and was operational. Note that I did nothing with respect to /etc/passwd. Wayne Keen
Server Test Series - Test62 available
I won't have time to do the formal email release announcement until tonight, but Test62 is available and should be making its way out to the mirrors (it's also available from msu.edu already). Test62 is also known as XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-9 in Cygwin's setup.exe (you have to manually select that version and you then might have to manually check the 'Bin' box next to the version). Changes and links for downloading: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/changelog.html Instructions for installing without Cygwin's setup.exe: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/ I need people to test Test62 with Windows running in 15bpp and 24bpp color modes.Not all video hardware support those modes, so don't worry about it if you can't set Windows to those color depths. Oh, and I forgot to put in the Change Log that we now link to comctl32.dll which contains the _TrackMouseEvent function that either calls TrackMouseEvent in user32.dll or it emulates the functionality. *** If you have *Windows 95*, you must have Internet Explorer 3.0 or greater installed to use Cygwin/XFree86, as this installs a new version of comctl32.dll that contains _TrackMouseEvent *** At some point in the future we may get a pointer to _TrackMouseEvent at runtime, which will remove the dependency on IE 3.0+ for Windows 95; of course, we might never get around to it if there is no demand for it. Thanks for testing, Harold

Re: Server Test Series - Test62 available
Nope, It is shipped with I.E. 2.0. Only in win95oemsr2 a.k.a. Win95b did I.E. 3.0 start shipping.

Re: Server Test Series - Test62 available
Sylvain, All I can tell you is that in Windows 95 I know that IE 2.0 was a download (I don't remember if there actually was an IE 1.0) and IE 3.0 was definitely a download. Perhaps this was different for localized versions of Windows (since they usually ship much later than the U.S. English version), but there was no IE in the original U.S. English Windows 95.

host.def in lesstif conflicts with host.def in XFree86-prog
Harold, As you well may know, the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/host.def is needed for running the xmkmf command. The issue is that this file is being installed by both the lesstif and XFree86-prog packages. The problem is, when you uninstall lesstif, the XFree86-prog version host.def is not restored. Worse yet, the lesstif host.def is completely removed. This is not good, but the issue will become worse in the future now that setup.exe is getting closer to implimenting dependancy/conflict functions. I suggest making postinstall and preremove (/etc/preremove/*.sh) scripts for both packages to handle this potential issue. Just a thought... Cheers, Nicholas __ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!

Re: Unable to use X session under cygwin 1.3.11-3 on NT 4.0 sp. 6
Just to save some time, another quicker way to get your account's details using mkpasswd is to use the -u switch instead of applying grep on the output: The command-line would then be: mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd mkpasswd -d -u daniel /etc/passwd Lionel * From: dct-linuq at iquebec dot com * To: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com * Date: Thu, 27 Jun 2002 15:15:56 GMT * Subject: Re: Unable to use X session under cygwin 1.3.11-3 on NT 4.0 sp. 6 To redefine users see the thread this month : - xterm fails to start with setuid failed: Permission denied and the mkpasswd command. Basically what it does it to make a new password file with users and network information. Cygwin uses it for the login. Attention!!! Watch for big network, the file could end up very long. Here is what I did : mkpasswd -l /etc/passwd mkpasswd -d | grep daniel /etc/passwd (I knew my login name to be daniel) And voila, I am now daniel@mymachine and no longuer Administrateur@mymachine. And the best of it xterm now works (after some tweeking, read on). _ Envoyez des messages musicaux sur le portable de vos amis http://mobile.lycos.fr/mobile/local/sms_musicaux/
