Re: Icons
Joe Krahn wrote: ... It looks like can go from a device dependent X Pixmap (DDPixmap) to a device dependent Win32 bitmap (DDBitmap), then use Windows functions to scale when needed. This can only work if pixel data formats are the same between Windows and Cygwin/X. Does anyone know if there is any chance of an exception to this? This assumption does not completely work. Monochrome bitmaps have the reverse bit order in X11. I need to figure out if this is only true for monochome masks. I think the only other time it would matter is for a 4-bit display, but I don't know if this would ever happen. One thing that is a problem: If X Pixmaps and Win Bitmaps (excluding new RGBA icons) are stored in device-dependent format, what happens when the display depth gets changed while X is running? If I start X, change the depth, then start an X app, the icon is mangled. So, I think we should always expand to DIB RGBA format, and avoid using DDBitmaps. Can X RandR change depths? If so, is it not correctly tied in to Windows Display changes?

The up/down scrolling action seems to act as left/right arrows. In firefox, using the scroll wheel goes back/forwards a page, for an example. Any idea what to do to fix this? Brian K If this behaviour is consistent across all X applications, you could try using xmodmap: First, use xev to identify which button numbers are associated with the up, down, left right movements. Let's say these are 4, 5, 6 7 respectively. If you want the up button swapping with left, and down swapping with right, you would enter: xmodmap -e pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5 you can use xmodmap -pp to verify the change. You should see something like this: $ xmodmap -pp There are 7 pointer buttons defined. PhysicalButton Button Code 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 6 5 7 6 4 7 5 I can't guarantee that this will work with XWin, but this technique works for xorg on Linux, so it's likely to be OK.

RE: How to have more than one X display?
I simply could not decide if the jabberwocky is called display or screen. As the tumtum it leans on called $DISPLAY, I wish to set to :0.0 and :0.1 as I had in Reflection/X. Right, now that I have to the terminology straightened (to roam cygwin wonderland), Reflection/X allows me to start a display server with just screen :0.0 with a premeditated intent of starting screen :0.1 later or not at all. Reflection would give me two XP windows, one for each independent :jabberwocky.screen. Question I should have asked in light of my enlightenment, How to have more than one screen on an X display server? Adding to that question, How to allow willy-nilly starting of another screen later rather than all at once? It's all the fault of Reflection allowing me the convenience that I wanted the same in Cygwin. This is what my startxwin1.bat have to do to get two screens. I have to repeat options for each screen. If I closed one screen both screens die. Unlike Reflection. Whom should I ask to modify XWin.exe to allow appending screens after the X server has started? === . run XWin -screen 0 1750 1300 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars -clipboard -silent-dup-error -screen 1 1750 1300 -multiplemonitors -emulate3buttons -scrollbars -clipboard -silent-dup-error SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 run wmaker run xterm -sb -e /usr/bin/bash -l SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.1 run wmaker run xterm -sb -e /usr/bin/bash -l -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Betts Sent: Thu, September 01, 2005 12:45 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: RE: How to have more than one X display?

I have installed cygwin and everything seems to run smoothly except I can't get any display to work. If I execute XWin then it opens up a grey window with an X at the top followed by Cygwin/X-0:0 and that's it. There's no menu options or anything. If i do XWin -query remote_host then the same thing comes up with Cygwin/X- remote_host. If I connect with ssh -Y remote_host it connects me but if i try to execute something that requires a display...such as xeyes...Then it says connect 127.0.0.1 port 6000: Connection refused/ Xconnection to localhost:12.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown) So i don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Re: Cygwin/X and 64-bit Windows
Nathan Heck wrote: Is Cygwin/X compatible with 64-bit Windows? I checked the website and help documents but this does not appear to be addressed anywhere. I have installed Cygwin/X in several of our labs each time configuring it the same way and it works beautifully in our labs with 32-bit windows but not a single machine using 64-bit windows will work. I have attached the Xwin.log in hopes that you may be able to make more sense of the errors then I was able to. I don't know what the official status of 64 bit support is. The second paragraph on the main cygwin.com home page says that only 32 bit versions of windows are supported. However, you may find that it does in fact work in 64 bit windows as there have been some recent fixes in that area. You will, however, have to use a snapshot since some of these fixes have been done recently.

RE: problem
When I first installed Cygwin/X and tried, I ran into the same puzzlement, if not panic. All the xterms and xclock I started were heaped into the same corner, intransigently unmoveable. (The sun shall not strike thee, nor the moon by night and your feet will not be moved, as though). Then I recalled, hmm There is an X Display Server and then there is an X Display Manager. I think. I'm sure I have not confused the terminology. The default as cygwin was installed only started the X Display server. An X Display mgr would be prudent to have if I wanted to have a Motif look or even Win/95 look and to manage how the window or menus behave. I guess an XDM would also help with coordinate placement of apps like xclock and xterms. So I looked into the startxwin files and was as assured to find twm (which I guessed correctly is an X display mgr) commented out. I uncommented it and when XWin restarted my xterms and xclock were moveable. But I didn't like twm because the extremity of my X habits tends to pile up lots of windows and would have me a hard time searching for them without a desktop window locater. Which led me to install wmaker. Hey! Why couldn't I throw xterms from my sun box to local cygwin? My $DISPLAY on sunside was correct. With all the authentication failures and whatnots. Oops, I had forgotten to run xhost + on the local cygwin xterm. (I actually made the mistake of attempting xhost + on an XP cmd window prior to that.) xhost + or xhost + some-network-identifiable-hostname. The installation was rather simple that everyone around my periphery of physical influence should be able use cygwin to replace their branded X display s/w. Now I am beginning to wonder, what if I just started the X display server on local cygwin and then attempt to throw an X display mgr to it from my sun box? Or get a little more screwy, start x server on my laptop cygwin, throw wmaker from my win2k box to my laptop, login to sun box and throw xterms to my laptop. hmm looking on the sunnyside of things, but I can't wait for the snow to fall. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of RICHARD D HILDNER Sent: Thu, September 01, 2005 4:55 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: problem I have installed cygwin and everything seems to run smoothly except I can't get any display to work.
