Re: Xwin.exe application failed to initialize errors with KDE
Hi, May not be related but.. I can confirm that the latest cygwin/xfree stuff now fails with the kde-cygwin 2.2.2 beta 1. It used to run like a dog anyway, but now freezes up. Eventually get in pretty crippled. I've got the startx log, if anyone interested? Colin
Re: XServer with no local GUI like KDE
I don't understand clearly what you want, but maybe the -rootless parameter of XWin.exe could be useful. With -rootless applications displayed by the XServer seems notive Windows applications in that they lay on Windows desktop. In any case you need to start a window manager (twm, WindowMaker, icewm, ecc.). Bye, Danilo Turina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, pls, provide. I want to have a non-visible X11-Server via Cygwin.

Re: Cygwin Connection Tool for Windows
Hi Mario, Re your tool for Windows. I have it downloaded. Is it just unzip it and install it on Windows then it will work. Any configuration needed?

[ATTN: Harold] RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree
Strange. I was under the impression that pressing 1 gave you nothing. Given that you're pressing 1 and getting the same keycode as if you pressed h is definitely strange. Time for Harold to get involved with this one.

The problem with the workaround is that pressing the '1' key reports as keycode 43 and generates an h. Pressing an 'h' also reports as keycode 43 and generates an h. Hence, if I remap keycode 43, I now have a 1, but no h. This is so freakin mystifying. Why would two keys report the same keycode when pressed?? -Original Message- From: Thomas Chadwick [mailto:j_tetazoo;hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with keymap under cygwin-xfree Looking at XWin.log, I can tell you're using an XF86Config file. However, your settings seem to match mine, which is good, I think, since I don't use an XF86Config file at all (resulting in defaults). Since xev is telling us that the X server is at least getting the keystrokes, a work-around would be to systematically figure out the keycodes using xev, and then add them to your .Xmodmap file. For instance, if xev reports that pressing the 1 key gives you keycode 200, then put keycode 200 = 1 exclam in .Xmodmap. As for the root cause? I'm at a loss to explain it. However, I'm not exactly an expert on the subject, so hopefully someone else on the list may be able to figure it out. One other thought: Maybe your keyboard isn't a standard 101/102-key keyboard? What does the Windows Device Manager identify your keyboard as?

I included some of the standard letter keys which do, in fact, work. Also attached is /tmp/Xwin.log.

That can sometimes cause problem with certain X clients. If that's not the culprit, try running xev and see if X is even getting the keypress events.

So I am going to ask. Apologies if this has been covered somewhere before. I am having a maddening problem with xfree86 not recognizing some keys on my keyboard. And what is odd about this is that they are just the number keys (not the number pad), the backspace key and the tab key that appear to not be recognized. These keys work in other win32 applications, as well as the cygwin bash shell. I am at a total loss on this.

How to set Xresources when using startxwin.bat?
I have tried many ways but could not find any documentation on this on the web site or in list archives, etc. I am using startxwin.bat to launch cygwin xfree86. There is a problem using xterm unless I use the twm main menu to set the Xresource: XTerm*deleteIsDEL: true I would like to have cygwin read this config at startup rather than having to manually set it every time. I tried adding the above resource setting to: $HOME/.Xresources - that file doesn't seem to get read though Then I found some discussion where people referred to a different location for Xresources: $HOME/.config/Xresources - that file is not being read either. I have also tried putting this setting in the file: $HOME/.twmrc - this file is being read by twm just fine, but the twm menu doesn't reflect the resource value, if it is being read at all. I would appreciate any help on how Cygwin XFree86, XTerm, twm read set resources and what config files are used. It seems that perhaps there are differences depending on if you start with startxwin.bat or with .xinitrc. I would really like to stick with startxwin.bat if there is a way to get this working.

Keyboard testing - does anybody have this file?
I have made a keyboard message tester before, but I do not seem to have the source code, or even an executable version of the program anymore. The program was announced in the following message on 2001/04/21: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2001-q2/msg00843.html The link to the original download, which is no longer there, was: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/KeyboardMessages.zip Does anyone happen to have a copy of the executable and/or the source code?

Ok, the keys i pressed, in order: the 1 (on the top row, NOT on the number pad) the h the numlock, twice the 2 (on the top row, NOT on the number pad) the , as you can see, the 1 and the h are interpreted as the same key, as is the 2 and the , This behaviour holds true for the rest of the number keys across the top row , the dash, the equal sign, the backspace key and the tab key.

win95+cygwin1.3.10+Xwin+oldbox=dead network?
Good morning, i am quite perplexed with this problem. i am using cygwin on an old Pentium Pro with 128M RAM. i use cygwin to connect to my Redhat 7.3 box. i am using this setup on a couple of other machines (one a p-III and one P-133 each connecting to a different Redhat 7.3 box) The problem here is that after an apparently arbitrary period of time, my Xwindows sessions freezes. As i move my mouse over the window, the display refreshes. Once i stop moving the mouse the refreshes stop. This will continue for about 10 seconds after which the Xwindows session just closes. i am using the clock tick as an indicator of refresh. Additionally, when the Xwindows session dies, so does the rest of my network connection from the win95 box. i am not sure whether the connection is flooded or lost, either way i cannot see other machines on the network (ping fails) nor can i surf the web. Killing the Xwindows session and restarting it corrects the problem. There is a firewall between boxes but i just don't think that this is the problem as all i have to do is close the Xwindows session to regain my network. Any advice would be appreciated. later, dean CYGWIN_95-4.0 SHE 1.3.10(0.51/3/2) 2002-02-25 11:14 i586 unknown
