XWin warning messages
Having successfully installed Cygwin a couple of days ago, I started 'playing' with a building simulation program called ESP-r (developed over many years at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow - see "Software" at http://www.esru.strath.ac.uk), which I know from my 'previous life' as a university researcher/lecturer, and which was recently made available in a form tailored for Cygwin. I wonder whether someone could shed some light on the warning messages I get when I start up an XWin environment under Cygwin. All I would like to know really is whether any of the messages are cause for concern and whether I need to take some corrective action (and if yes in what form). Please be patient with me - I have been using PCs for some years now, and I dare say my UNIX knowledge has become somewhat rusty ;-) Thank you.

Have a separate /tmp for each user -- execute the following once for each user account: mount -fu "$USERPROFILE\\Local Settings\Temp" /tmp and all of your users should be able to start X the regular way with no interference.

X -broadcast
Hi, Have been using "X -broadcast" to connect to a XDM server on my network for months now. However, when another user of cygwin tries, it doesn't work. I've tested it on a couple different XP machines, each with Cygwin installed for ALL USERS. I can resolve this problem by removing the "/tmp/XWin.log" file manually. It seems that this file is written by the last person to successfully start an X Window, and the permissions are 644. Maybe if the file was written 664, or a different file was written for each $LOGNAME, this problem might go away. Here is what I've come up with that works for me: a "startx" script to start X: - # startx rm -f /tmp/XWin.log if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "File could not be deleted" exit fi X -broadcast > /dev/null 2>&1 & - I'd be grateful for thoughts on a better solution.

Not likely. I took the HD from this machine , and connect it to a machine with a similar hardware and still I'm getting the same error.

I mean sends some event in, xev dumps something :P Current status is: keyhook dos not work properly in multiwindow mode and does only work for alt-tab. I'm not sure why the windows keys are disabled but I think it is because of a problem with proper integeration into the modifier mask. I hope the first problem is not too hard. But the windows keys may require a lot of work. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
