success with icewm 1.2.6 on Win2k
Hi, This may be old news but I searched the cygwin-xfree archives and found nothing... Anyway, I have just successfully built and installed IceWM 1.2.6 on Win2K. Surprisingly painless which is why I assume its old news :) However the http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ported-software.html page still talks of icewm 1.0.9-2. I can post the steps I went through if its of any use.. (imlib..) cheers, David Turland __ Do You Yahoo!?

Problem with fresh install
Greetings, I am a cygwin newbie, but I've used some other unixes. My problem is that when I start up startxwin.bat, the window opens with a checkered backgroud but nothing else happens. When I set my display to localhost:0.0 and start xterm or twm from the command line, I get a segmentation fault. I am installing a new version on my W2K box. I did briefly have OpenSSH and Cygwin installed at the same time, but I have removed all OpenSSH software, and searched for extra versions of the dll. There is only one. The registry has all my mounts set to 2, which I believe is the binary value. I have removed all cygwin entries from the registry before the latest install. Here is the /tmp/XWinrl.log: OsVendorInit - Creating bogus screen 0 winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning (EE) Unable to locate/open config file InitOutput - Error reading config file winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Allowing PrimaryDD winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 001f InitOutput - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 24 bits per pixel winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - User w: 1024 h: 768 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - Current w: 1024 h: 768 winAdjustForAutoHide - Original WorkArea: 0 0 740 1024 winAdjustForAutoHide - Adjusted WorkArea: 0 0 740 1024 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - WindowClient w 1018 h 715 r 1018 l 0 b 715 t 0 winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed - Returning winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Creating primary surface winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Created primary surface winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Attached clipper to primary surface winAllocateFBShadowDDNL - lPitch: 4072 winAllocateFBShadowDDNL - Created shadow pitch: 4072 winAllocateFBShadowDDNL - Created shadow stride: 1357 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff ff00 00ff winInitVisualsShadowDDNL - Masks 00ff ff00 00ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 24 winCreateDefColormap - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap () winFinishScreenInitFB - returning winScreenInit - returning InitOutput - Returning.

Application Problem: InsightII
Hi I have an molecular modelling application developed by Accelrys called insightII which runs on an SGI. I would like to view it remotely on a PC using the X Windows System. I have tested it using eXceed 3D (MS Windows remote X Windows package) and it seems to function properly but when I use either cygwin or Redhat Linux it gives me an error Couldn't get initial visual in app_init_display where app_init_display is an application function. From what I can see it uses Opengl and the glx libraries but the application might also require Motif. My questions are: 1. If the XFree86 module is loaded does this mean that glx is also loaded? 2. Is the Motif environment emulated? 3. What are the strategies to get to the nub of the problem? Regards Uli

compiling Motif (Lesstif) program
Hi,
I just try learning X and Motif.
I have a very simple program:

#include X11/Intrinsic.h
#include Xm/Xm.h
#include Xm/Label.h
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Widget toplevel, msg;
Arg al[10];
int ac;
toplevel=XtInitialize(argv[0],,NULL,0,argc,argv);
ac=0;
XtSetArg(al[ac],XmNlabelString,XmStringCreate(hello,XmSTRING_DEFAULT_CHARSET));
ac++;
msg=XtCreateManagedWidget(msg,xmLabelWidgetClass,toplevel,al,ac);
XtRealizeWidget(toplevel);
XtMainLoop();
}
---snip---
and try to compile it using:
gcc -o simple simple.c -I /usr/X11R6/include/ -L /usr/X11R6/lib/ -lXm -lXt

the result is this:

I assume I must have forgotten something basic. It would be great, if you
could point me to a good source on the Internet or give me a hint.
When executing cygcheck -l I see that lesstif is installed.
gcc is 3.2-3

Re: Application Problem: InsightII

Alexander Gottwald [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... Martin Buck wrote: xset fp+ tcp/fonts:7100 As soon as the xset commands runs, XWin locks up and consumes 100% CPU time. The same happens if I don't use XDMCP and only start XWin and a single xterm in which I type the xset command. This was already reported by other users. But until now, no one had the time to solve this problem. Maybe you can step in here. Also note that pointing to a font server on the Xwin command line when starting it works.

SSH X forwarding not working
Greetings. I've looked over the mailing list, but haven't been able to find out why using ssh -X remote-host wouldn't actually let you run X apps on the distant machine (to display locally).

XDM to linux box questions
Hi I am using cygwin/XFree86 on a Win2k computer to communicate with my linux box (Slackware version). I successfully configured both systems so that I was able to log in via XDM into my linux box. However, recently this has stopped working. My XDM queries now go unanswered. I suspect that this has to do with some Windows security updates that I had applied. The xdm logs in my linux box shows the following: xdm error (pid 2339): server open failed for dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0, giving up xdm error (pid 81): Display dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0 cannot be opened xdm error (pid 81): Display dhcp024-210-231-236.woh.rr.com:0 is being disabled It sounds like the problem is in my Win2k machine. I am not a Win2k expert, so I don't know where to look for clues. Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, more http://taxes.yahoo.com/
4.2.0-26 multiwindow bug: closing apps causes repeated keystrokes
I've been using -multiwindow -clipboard for a few weeks now. I LOVE IT! Cygwin/Xfree86 is almost as good as Exceed now. Despite being experimental I've found both features to be fairly stable. Kudos to the developers. I want to report a reproducible problem when using the keyboard to close an X application in multiwindow mode. The last keystroke sent to my closed application is repeated over and over in every other X application currently opened. This continues in each window until I give the window focus and press another key. To reproduce (This happens with XWin.exe version 4.2.0-26 on Windows 2000 SP2): 1. Run XWin.exe -multiwindow 2. Start an xterm 3. Cover the xterm with another, non-X window (this step is not always necessary, but the bug is more reliably reproduced by doing this). 4. Start a second xterm. 5. Type exit followed by return into the second xterm. Its window will close. 6. Bring the first xterm to the front and give it focus. The shell will act as though someone is pressing and holding the return key. 7. Press the space bar. The repeating returns will stop. I've tried this with xterm and emacs, in every combination. If you use ^D to exit the xterm instead of exit, then the ^D is sent to the other windows, causing the other xterms to exit. If you exit emacs with C-X C-C, then the ^C is sent to the other X applications. If there is more than one other app running, they all seem to get the repeated key. If you start another app before handling the errant key, then the new app will also get the repeated key event. I've seen references in the mailing list archive of shells coming up acting as if the return key were pressed. This is probably the same bug. This does not happen in non-multiwindow mode. This happens whether or not -clipboard is used. P.S. Please Cc: me on any responses. I don't usually read the cygwin-xfree mailing list (although I do read the cygwin-xfree-announce list). P.P.S. Is there some way other than running cygwin setup that I can determine the version of my XWin.exe program? - Pablo Pablo Halpern [EMAIL PROTECTED] Halpern-Wight Software, Inc. http://www.halpernwightsoftware.com
