The problem was that copying something in Notepad caused the clipboard 
integration manager to take ownership of both the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD 
selections in X.  Selecting text in an xterm took ownership of the 
PRIMARY selection away from the clipboard manager.  Unselecting the text 
in xterm released ownership of the PRIMARY selection, but left the 
CLIPBOARD selection supposedly owned by the clipboard integration 
manager (which means it thought it had text to copy from Win32 to X, but 
it didn't).

I changed the behavior slightly to release ownership of the Win32 
clipboard and mark both X selections as unowned if one of the selections 
in X is released and the other is owned by the clipboard integration 
manager.  In fact, I should take this one further and release ownership 
of any selection owned by the clipboard integration manager when 
something is selected in X.  The current fix will probably work in 90% 
of cases for the time being.

I'd really appreciate some feedback on the new fix in 
XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-63, which should be hitting mirrors within a few hours.

Done

The tray menu's entry for the about box should be between "hide/show

entry itself should be called not "About..." but "About Cygwin/X".
I moved the entry because I was hitting it all the time by accident 
during my testing.  I'm leaving the entry as "About..." since that is 
what other apps that I have seen have.

Re: About box

[Lev Bishop]

If it's nitpicky stylistic issues you're after

The X icon at the top left of both the About... dialog and the Cygwin/X
Exit? dialog is different to the X icon at the top left of other
programmes' windows, such as xterm. The one on the about and exit dialogs
is a little uglier than the other. I can provide screen captures if you
want to see this.

FWIW, I agree with all Jack's suggestions, especially copyright/version 
info, links to docs on the start menu.

But I think I'd much rather you spent your time fixing the clipboard bug 
before worrying about such minor things.

Thanks you.  Just a correction:  I misinterpreted the address by 1 hex

My apologies for saying this AFTER you did the work... The about box is 
wrong. (Sorry, sorry, hold the flames.)

These links really belong in the Start menu (ideally under 
Programs\Cygwin, but they'd also be acceptable under Programs\Cygwin/X). 
This way, the links being URLs and links to .html files, they 
automatically inherit the icon of the default web browser, making it 
obvious what they point to.
I disagree, at least for the time being.  The reason is that we do not 
currently have such links being installed to the Start menu.  We have 
the X-start-menu-icons package, but that is not sophisticated enough to 
create links to files that should be opened with cygstart.

In short, this solution took 6 hours, the alternative would take more 
like 30.  I've not got 30 hours to spend, so it is going to stay like it 
is unless someone sends a comprehensive patch that fixes *everything* 
related to this desire.

What should really be in the about box is something like this:

[logo]Cygwin/X X11R6 Server
Copyright blah
Licensed under GPL (use standard short FSF blurb here)
Installed Packages (xserv 4.3.0-62, xterm 185-4, etc.)
Visit us at http://x.cygwin.com. (Make URL blue, underlined, and a 
link to the site).
Yeah, URLs... tried it in a dialog box before?  I spent about 4 hours 
researching it and could only find that you can have one font for the 
whole box.  Unless we make this a true window it probably isn't going to 
be possible.

The about box's window title should be "About Cygwin/X".

The tray menu's entry for the about box should be between "hide/show 
root window" and "exit"; it should not be the bottom-most entry. The 
entry itself should be called not "About..." but "About Cygwin/X".
This is the sort of thing that really pisses me off.  I modeled this 
after the SQL Server tray icon.  It has "About..." as the bottom entry 
and "Exit" above that.  I basically flipped a coin and went with it 
because I knew that no matter which way I ordered it somebody would 
bitch about it not being right.  I'll let the mailing list fight amongst 
themselves until a clear winner is chosen, until then I'm not touching it.

Thanks for all your hard work, Harold et al! Here's hoping you get that

Sounds cool.

Any chance that it could also contain a link to the main cygwin web

Yeah, I think that could be done.

I was also just talking to some people that frequently visit the Cygwin 
web site, but had no idea that the Cygwin/X web site even existed.  It 
seems that it would be useful to add a short blurb on the main Cygwin 
site that says something like "Try Cygwin/X for a full-featured free X 
Server for Windows including clipboard integration, desktop integration, 
and more".  I don't want to add that right away, but do you see a 
problem with my doing so in the near future?
There is a link at the side to "X11".  If you think that's unclear then change
it to something clearer.  If you want to advertise releases in the news page
that's fine, too.
I don't think special dispensation for the Cygwin/X project is appropriate
for the main page.


And, if this seems inconsistent with my asking for a cygwin link in the About
box, then feel free to ignore my request...
Yes, it seems inconsistent to me.

Cygwin/X is different than a port of package foo to Cygwin: Cygwin/X is 
an integral piece of Cygwin and runs *only* on Cygwin; it is much more 
important than a port.

The reason I brought it up is that I had three people telling me they 
had been using Cygwin for years and never even thought that a Cygwin/X 
page existed.  They all requested that a blurb be put on the main Cygwin 
page so that people will actually see it.  Their complaint about the 
link in the left bar is that it looked like just another part of the 
Cygwin pages, not an entire web site by itself.

There is a link at the side to "X11".  If you think that's unclear then change
it to something clearer.  If you want to advertise releases in the news page
that's fine, too.

I don't think special dispensation for the Cygwin/X project is appropriate
for the main page.

There's a saying I've learned from my verification engineers:  If you 
don't test it, it won't work!

WinXP doesn't list 24bpp mode anymore, VICE doesn't compile under cygwin 
w/o work, and I'm not likely to shell out $$M to buy an Oracle DB. :)  
To top it off, freedesktop's CVS /tmp disk is out of space so CVS isn't 
working.  Ouch!

I did some unit-testing of the undocumented BitsPerPixel() macro, and it 
seems to be what's needed.  Changing line 74 to
 >  effXBPP = BitsPerPixel(pixmap->drawable.depth);
will set it to 32 when given a 24-bpp drawable, giving a pixel stride of 
4 bytes as desired.  It also doesn't break any of the 1-, 16-, or 32-bit 
icons that I was able to test (the return values of BPP() match expected 
there too), but I still have no 24-bpp icons to try.

I'll try the commit again tomorrow morning, but if Fabrizio wants to 
beat up his local copy before then and report back it'd be appreciated!
Okay, sounds good to me.

Also, I think you mentioned that 1 bit pixmaps were messed up.  If 
that is still the case, it is because the GDI DIB 1 bit bitmap has a 
reversed byte order.  So, you'll have to swap the byte order for 1 bit 
pixmaps when you convert them.  Give that a try and let me know if it 
works... ping me as soon as you look into it cause I'm really 
wondering if that will fix it.


This was way back when I was first writing it, IIRC.  I don't think I've 
seen any 1-bit icon problems or heard of any (except for the complaint 
that xcalc's scaled icon was ugly) since.  If someone has a specific 
problem I'll look into it, but 1-bit is working 100% AFAIK...
Huh... okay.  I thought the xcalc icon problem was probably due to byte 
ordering, but if it is just scaling then my suggestion obviously has 
nothing to do with it.  I was going to suggest writing a super-duper 
anti-aliasing icon scaler, but it would seem like a waste of effort for 
1 bit icons.  There are so many other things that would not be a waste 
of effort...

Re: Pathnames for X server app-defaults etc.

[tulitanssi]

Hi,

I've had similar problems. I noticed that the problems existed due to lack of 
permissions. When I set permissions (on the Windows side) as Full Control to Everyone, 
the deletion of old installation and the re-installation of new version worked.

It seems that permissions of the C:\cygwin directory (the install directory) should be 
set as Full Control to Everyone. Otherwise it is easy to get problems on 
re-installation.

Cheers,
Tuli

 I had previously tried a setup.exe 'reinstall' and also uninstalling
xserv and installing it from the easynet.be mirror, neither worked.
 However, last night I tried deleting everything cygwin - not as easy as
it sounds as there are some 'undeletable' link files - and reinstalling
it all from uni-erlangen.de.
This worked. So I must conclude that mirror.ac.uk at least, and possibly
easynet.be, are poor mirror choices :-(
Both of those mirrors look to be up to date to me.

It would be rather nice if setup had a way of verifying that the
packages it loads are self-consistent.
No, I think your 'undeletable' link files is a clue... there had to be 
something messed up with your installation.  It probably won't happen 
again since you deleted and reinstalled.

4.40.59 Xfree with Windows XP Home

[Aristotle]

I just got a new laptop and I don't seem to be able to get my remote login
working on XP home.  My server is running Fedora Core1, and it totally up to
date.  XDM/XDMCP is enabled and running.  When I try to start a remote
login/session, my local cygwin xserver starts, but I ever get a login window
locally.  I have also made sure to disable the "personal firewall" for my
network connections, so I'm a bit stumped at this point.  Does anyone know
how to get this working, I sure I'm missing something obvious, I think it's

Its also  reproduceable here with Harolds docu, and I get another bug. 
After the 3 Sec hang in the notpad, some time late ca 1 min. The Mouse 
Curser disapears over the xterm, and when that happens, the xserver 
couldnt be stoped anymore, and somtimes the refresh of the xterm windows 
stops also  causing some wired effekts.

It seems to me that we are chasing red herrings here.  /usr/X11R6/X is
just a symbolic link to /usr/X11R6/Xwin.exe - they are one and the same!

I suspect that Ruth's problem is not quite the same as mine.  My X
server didn't crash; it just failed to find the application default files
and fell back on a default for the keyboard map, so that when I typed '#' on
my UK keyboard I got '\'.  Anyway, the symbolic links fixed the problems.
If the same symbolic links don't fix Ruth's problem, she probably needs to
look elsewhere.  Maybe the first thing to do is to reinstall the X11 packages.

Nope, the output of cygserver doesn't indicate anything.  And the normal
log output is missing since it's still gone to the event log.
Btw., you can start cygserver under administrator account in a console.
That's sufficient from the user rights perspective and you can easily
redirect the log which goes to stderr then by default.

Well... that's even less helpful with no debug symbols in the binary.

This worked. So I must conclude that mirror.ac.uk at least, and possibly
easynet.be, are poor mirror choices :-(

It would be rather nice if setup had a way of verifying that the
packages it loads are self-consistent.

Re: Final solution on using AltGr keyboard definitions with HP-UX CDE/Motif/ X11R6 and Linux/ Cygwin

[Hans Dekker]

Hello Franz,

It seems the XKB_DISABLE variable is picked up after initializing your 
CDE environment and after having logged in.

Fortunately we don't use usernames with AltGr characters in it, though I 
couldn't tell whether passwords of users have AltGr characters in them.

After a week without reactions on the subject, I unsubscribed myself 
from the list to prevent overload of my mailbox.

Regards, Hans.

Hi Hans and all the rest,

while this solution works for cde and the applications, I still have 
no AltGr-functionality in the login-screen.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Greetings

Franz



Using Cygwin with HP-UX CDE:

When you are using CDE on HP-UX you can use the following procedure,
which I found on the Internet. Check the solution at
http://aa11.cjb.net/hpux_admin/2000/12/0212.html that came from the
community:
Create the file /etc/dt/config/Xsession.d/0050.disable_xkb with the
following content:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# ###
File: 0050.disable_xkb ### ### Purpose: disable the XKEYBOARD extension in
all R6 ### client software.
#
export XKB_DISABLE=1
and give it the 755 protection.

Then put in the .dtprofile of a user the command to change his/her
keyboard layout:
xmodmap /etc/xmodmap.es.hpux

which contains a copy of the enclosed keyboard mapping.

window manager running already

[Frank Schaefer]

Updating to 1.5.9-1 causes problem under WinXP and Win98 when trying to
'startx:'

"window manager already running"

while none is actually running. I was not able to figure out how
'X' comes to this conclusion.  Is there a file that can be deleted.
The only other reason I could think of is that we started an
'X -broadcast' session. However, this too has been terminated. 

Thanks for any help.

A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out
all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over
the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of
the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying "A
dollar per  point." The next class the professor handed the tests back out.
This student got back his test and $64 change.
A couple had been married for 25 years and were celebrating their 60th
birthdays, which fell on the same day. During the celebration a fairy
appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple for all 25
years, she would give them one wish each. The wife wanted to travel around
the world. The fairy waved her hand, and Boom! She had the tickets in her
hand. Next, it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said
shyly, "Well, I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me." The fairy
picked up her wand, and Boom!  He was ninety.

There comes the symbolic name from somewere and X uses that instead of
the numeric IP. The only workaround I know is to add that name to the
hosts file on your unix host.
