Keyboard Layout
When I start with Cygwin , I have my normal German Layout . Changing to xfree86 I have an US-Layout. How I can change the Layout in xfree86 permanently to German?

Re: Problems with xwinclip version 0.5/0.6
Hi Volker, I notice you had a mingw error. Could you please try using the gcc provided with cygwin, as I believe myself and others use. It should remove most of the problems you're seeing as neither myself nor others seem to have them. As to the output, that's correct it's debug information to let me know what is going on message wise through the system. The ioctl statement is due to the cygwin code for the windows device explicitly mentioning setting the hwnd it listens to (or listens to all). Which doesn't really hurt anything in the code you have. After that message it should also display information in the xwinclip window about what windows and X messages are being processed involving the clipboards, again just debug information. Thank you for trying to use the code though. Chris _ Unlimited Internet access for only $21.95/month. Try MSN! http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/2monthsfree.asp
nt domain security issues with cygwin dll 1.3.13-2
this is FYI, a startx problem that ends up being an NT domain issue. I had reported a problem where startx was failing due to the X server not accepting connections. It was pointed out to me that from 1.3.12-4 to 1.3.13-2, the ntsec option was on by default and this would affect NT domain machines (which is what I am using on my Windows 2000 machine). So here is the symptoms of the problem on a UID basis: DMELEEDY-D01-13: id uid=500(AdiPcAdmin) gid=544(Administrators) groups=544(Administrators) DMELEEDY-D01-14: touch foo DMELEEDY-D01-15: ls -l foo DMELEEDY-D01-16: ls -l foo -rw-r--r--1 7469 Administ0 Oct 22 03:41 foo As you can see, with 1.3.13-2, the file is owned by UID 7469 not 500. If I revert to the old dll, 1.3.13-2, the same file (not recreated): DMELEEDY-D01-3: ls -l foo -rw-r--r--1 AdiPcAdm Administ0 Oct 22 03:41 foo has the correct file permissions. So it was suggested that I use, mkpasswd to fix the problem. The problem with this is that my machine was set up by my corporation to use an NT domain, but it would not be connected to that domain unless I use VPN. So without VPN running, this is what happened: DMELEEDY-D01-1: mkpasswd -d -u AdiPcAdm mkpasswd: [2453] Could not find domain controller for this domain So then I connected with VPN to see if I could do it after that: DMELEEDY-D0102: mkpasswd -d -u AdiPcAdm mkpasswd: [2221] The user name could not be found. Now this machine was set up with it's own local domain, so that is probably why it couldn't find the domain controller in the first case, and then in the 2nd case the domain controller didn't know anything about my local accounts. So, another problem I saw is when I reinstalled cygwin with the new dll, some files weren't being created properly, I remember seeing flashing by something about permissions not being correct to create the /var/spool/texmf/ls-R file, and indeed that file is 0 bytes long. So other than preventing startx from working, this is breaking the basic install process for other packages as well. What can be done to fix this? Is there a way to shut off ntsec so I can get things working with the new dll? Please let me know if I can supply you with any further information. Also, I will be glad to help debug any tests you may set up. Just tell me the details of how to download any test code. Thanks, -Dave David Meleedy Analog Devices, Inc.

RE: nt domain security issues with cygwin dll 1.3.13-2
Dave, If you are running mkpasswd for a local account, then you do not want to pass -d to mkpasswd, as that tells it to look for a domain account. For your local account you should be running: mkpasswd -u AdiPcAdm Only for your domain account should you run: mkpasswd -d -u [domain-account-username] Give that a shot and see what happens.

Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15
The XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. This is a synchronization with all the fixes that have been applied from Server Test Series - Test 64 through Server Test Series - Test 68. These fixes are summarized below: 1) Add support for using XF86Config-style configuration files. (Alexander Gottwald) 2) Include an X icon and the necessary build rules for building Windows resource files (even while cross compiling). (Harold Hunt, Jehan Bing) 3) Include an initial rootless mode with X Shape Extension support. (MATSUZAKI Kensuke) 4) Scrollbars support. (Jehan Bing, Harold Hunt) 5) Warning dialog on disruptive screen depth change --- not quite perfect. (Harold Hunt) -- Harold Hunt To update your installation, click on the Install Cygwin now link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to click the Full button if it doesn't show up. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] . If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list is the appropriate place.
