Conflict with -multiwindow and xfig?
Running cygwin's "xfig" locally from an xterm on XWin-Test-91 started with SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1 ... start /B XWin-Test91.exe :1 -kb -multiwindow ... crashes with a window saying: "XWin-Test91.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows". XWin-Test91.exe.stackdump says: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION at eip=610403F0 There are no obvious complaints in tmp/XWin.log xfig works fine on the same system started without -multiwindow. The system is Windows2000-sr4. I think all cygwin files are up to date. There is only one cygwin1.dll. Am I missing something or is this a bug? Thanks for a very robust system. - John Peters CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory PO Box 218Phone:+61 2 9413 7503 Lindfield NSW 2070Fax: +61 2 9413 7202 Australia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

Cygwin as a Server to XClients
Folks, I realise that there has been a similar topic already posted in this group but I have a couple of twists to this that I think requires a new subject. I wish to use my Win2K Server as an xdm server for my daughters Linux box and wifes Mac OSX (running XDarwin). There are two reasons for this; 1) My daughters Linux box is _very_ slow and she may pick up some speed for certain applications that have been ported. 2) If there is a version of OpenOffice that I can run on the Cygwin server then my entire household could _finally_ share an office suite. Can anyone tell me if either or both of these are achievable and how I go about doing it? -- Thanks in advance, Jim
associations (remote??)
I currently run cygwin/XFree86/KDE on my Win2K machine. I then 'ssh -X' over to a Linux box and run evolution. That works great most of the time. I can also run the konqueror directly on my PC, or remotely on the Linux box. If an e-mail has a url in it, I can cut and paste the url to konqueror and it works fine. My problem is I can't right click on the url and cause it to open konqueror. I don't even know where it should run. Do I need to setup some associations? If so, how and where? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer

Hi, Federico, Just a wild guess. Did you install the OpenSSH package when you installed Cygwin?

xmodmap with XWin -query
Scanning mail archives I didn't find something helpful starting XWin with an option for other than an US-keyboard when starting XWin with the "-query remotehost" - option=20 to access a remote xdm-login. Since my experience is negligible I need a somewhat=20 detailed description. Up to now I tried to launch xmodmap xmodmap.de and setxkbmap de. putting those commands into the script before the XWin-command leads to "unable to open display"- message. Putting it after the XWin-command leads to=20 execution after termination. starting XWin with &-option also doesn't work. Both variants work fine starting XWin with a local Window manager.
