Questions on xhost, local display, etc.
You may remember a long thread about this around the new year, the specific issue then (trying to run the external xwinclip program) is no longer with us but since having to do a complete re-install due to a disk optimiser destroying the data on my disk I have a few things that still aren't quite clear for me. Is it possible to run any of the cygwin/X programs that require to display something other than in the console window without running a local X server of some sort? If it isn't possible with the default set up is there any workaround? It would be good for example to be able to run GUI editor windows (e.g. xvile for cygwin) without having to run an X desktop. I have looked back in the mailing list archives at the earlier thread and reminded myself how I eventually overcame the 'catch 22' problem of not being able to run xhost because it wanted permission to write on the display which needed xhost to run to allow it to. Is the /etc/X0.hosts file format described or documented anywhere? I looked for it in the documentation and couldn't find anything, it would be good to have this in the FAQ at least because it's a lifesaver! -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Not really. gvim does such a thing. It has a fallback to tty if X11 is failing. But it must be prepared in the program.

One allowed host per line. it would be good to have this in the FAQ at least because it's a lifesaver!

The only problem with it that I noticed was minor and obvious:
It allocates the OpenGL surface according to the properties of the
current window's parent, not the current window. So, the glxgears
program shows up in the xterm window instead of the glxgears window.
Also, if you run without multi-window and use twm, the OpenGL surface
will fill the entire root window (seems to be the same problem).
Interesting: if you move the xterm window in multi-window mode, the
surface moves with that window correctly :)
The GL rendering is bound to the devicecontext. The DC moves if you move
the window. In normal mode the GL rendering uses the whole xserver window
and draws the gears in the lower left corner. Clear sign of wrong DC size.
I currently use GetActiveWindow() to get a window handle. This surely
wrong. But attaching to the real window will require some functions
which get the hwnd from the pScreenPriv structure
What I need is a function
struct win_window_metrics
{
HWND hwnd;
RECT rect;
}
void win_get_window_metrics(WindowPtr winptr, win_window_metrics metrics)
{
if (multiwindow) {
metrics-hwnd = window_hwnd;
metrics-rect.left = 0;
metrics-rect.top = 0;
metrics-rect.right = window_width;
metrics-rect.bottom = window_height;
} else {
metrics-hwnd = global_hwnd;
metrics-rect.left = window_left;
metrics-rect.top = window_top;
metrics-rect.right = window_left + window_width;
metrics-rect.bottom = window_top + window_height;
}
}
If we already have a HRGN handle i could use that instead of the RECT.
I have to create a region anyway in GetDCEx(hwnd, hrgn, flags).

SNNS Problem
Hello, Some months ago, I sent a mail describing a problem with a SNNS popup dialog: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-01/msg00221.html I have looked inside the source code of SNNS, and I found that maybe the XawListChange(Widget w, String * list, int nitems, int longest, int resize) function is the source of the problem. This function is called by the ui_xAddListEntry function (ui_xWidget.c file in the xgui/source directory). I've tested the content of the parameters and they look OK. The widget seems to be correctly initialized (the popup is displayed correctly excepted the content of the list), the list contains nitems strings, longest is set to 0 and resize is set to True. What can I do to solve this problem ? Your sincerely, Yann COLLETTE

On XP, the white background and black border would be hidden through the alpha mask. On older systems the white background would show. The only downside would be that the X character would have to be one pixel smaller on each side, because in the white-background version we need two borders, one white and one black. benny

I don't know the details but right now, the icon is not a white square on older system. So somehow, windows put the transparent color where the alpha channel is fully transparent. Maybe I could hack it by not making the alpha channel fully transparent but near enough as to make no difference on XP. But that doesn't solve the issue of what people prefer: a square icon or a jagged one. Anyway the best is still the config file. People can then select the icon they want: black X on white square, black X with white border, X with edges at 45 degrees, fully black icon, blue X, red X, pig with wings, X on top of MS Windows logo... you name it.

Older systems use a 1-bit transparency mask (I forgot how this works in detail). I am pretty sure that this is a separate item from the alpha channel, because older systems couldn't interprete anything but this 1-bit format. OTOH, I guess that the tools that you use to create the icon don't allow to edit those two items separately. benny

Did it work, or did it have the same problem? This looks like a code page problem (the ? is an u in the Windows codepage) Check the output of: cygpath -A -P That is how we get the path to that folder. Other than that, I had no ideas why bash would munge this... but my knowledge on this topic is not great. Anyone have some ideas? Harold This is probably an ASCII vs Unicode issue. Most of Cygwin calls the ASCII versions of the Windows API. I'm not sure Cygwin is even Unicode-aware. Windows uses Unicode internally to encode the filenames. Theoretically, Windows should do the right translation under the covers. It may be as simple as setting the correct codepage or locale before trying to create the path... Not running the localized version of Windows, I can't really investigate this. Volker, do you feel up to it? A simple 'ls -d `cygpath -A -P`' should expose the bug, and setting the right locale before this call may make it go away, in which case please report to the list what made it work... :-) Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

Re: Cygwin X server crashes when a remote Xemacs is run
Hi, I still get this crash with the latest server (4.3.0-54). Unfortunately I am not able to access cvs repositories outside of our company's network, so I cannot build a debug version. I'd be happy to run a debug version that someone builds for me, or I can build it if the source could be tarred and placed on a website so I can download it. Thanks! Brian Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm willing. Brian Quoting Harold L Hunt II [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Anybody care to run a debug build of XWin.exe in gdb to find the crash location? Harold Brian R.Landy wrote: Hi, I see what appears to be the same crash (address 0x61093b2c), using Vim 6.2 with the GTK1 GUI. One remote system is running AIX, the other Solaris. The cygwin system runs NT 4 SP6. However, I only crash if I run XWin.exe -multiwindow. Switching to windowed, fullscreen, or even rootless causes the crash to go away. Nothing is written to Xwin.log after the normal startup messages. Brian Here what I'm trying to do: I establish a rsh connection with a UNIX/Linux machine and open an xterm. The I run Xemacs on this remote machine and XWin.exe crashes. I tried it connecting with both a Linux machine and a Alpha machine.

Re: Garbled task-bar icon
Harold L Hunt II wrote: I don't have any ideas. Jehan --- is the order of the icon formats within the icon file importatnt in some locales? I have no idea. I would think not. But I would not be surprised if it uses a better icon (higher bit depth) if it can't find one that matches the screen bit depth. In this case 32b. Then, it doesn't expect the unused byte (used for the alpha channel now) to change value. Adding a 24 bits icons might solve it because it's the best fit for a 16bits screen that doesn't know about alpha channel. So I attached is a file with the 24b bit depth added. I also inverted the bit depth. It used to be 32b then 256 colors then 16. I moved the 16 first, then 256, then 24b, then 32b. That way, if Windows select the first icon that is good enough for the screen resolution, it will take the 24b first. Last, I used to have the high resolution first (32x32) and the low last (16x16). FireFox/Thunderbird have the low first, so I changed that too. In the end, I used to have: size then bit depth, from best to worst (32x32x32, 32x32x8, 32x32x4, 24x24x32, 24x24x8, ..., 16x16x4) Now, in the attached file, I have: bit depth then size, from worst to best (16x16x4, 24x24x4, 32x32x4, 16x16x8, 24x24x8, ..., 32x32x32) ...crossing fingers...
