XWin hangs on opening xterms
Hello, I updated cygwin a few days ago, now my xwindow-remote sessions are often hanging and are consuming a lot of cpu-power. In detail: I am running a W2K-machine with 2 cpus and connect to a linux-X-server via cygwins XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once in order to get the logon-screen of the linux-server. Before last days update all was performing very will (but now i don't know which version that was) Now i get the following output: ** $ XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: XWin -query 192.168.1.100 -once _XSERVTransmkdir: Mode of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to 0777 _XSERVTransmkdir: this may cause subsequent errors winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information (==) FontPath set to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,... winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 0007 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits per pixel winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: f800 07e0 001f MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 0407 (0407) (--) Using preset keyboard for German (Germany) (407), type 4 Rules = xorg Model = pc105 Layout = de Variant = (null) Options = (null) ** At this point the Cygin/X-windows hangs.

Keyboard Layout
Hello, as stated in the CygwinXTroubleShooting on www.freedesktop.org I send this mail: I have problems with my keyboard layout (german keyboard on a toshiba laptop). The lines in /tmp/XWin.log are these: (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: 0407 (0407) (--) Using preset keyboard for German (Germany) (407), type 4 Rules = xorg Model = pc105 Layout = de Variant = (null) Options = (null) (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Instead of german characters I always get the us keyboard characters. What should I do now? Thanks for any help!

Did you let it run long enough? Looks like it's trying to fork, and the DLLs are being loaded. Does the CPU show any activity during the hang? Does the disk? Try running it under strace to see if it's really a hang, a busy loop, etc. If you get any output at all during the hang, XWin is probably doing something useful. but than the logon screen of the linuxserver appears in the Cygwin/X-Window and i am able to login.

XWin forks to be able to spawn off a process (in this case, xterm). You have killed the forked child, thus XWin is not able to create the xterm process. Don't do that.

Xauth and cygwin-X
Hi I'm trying to get xauth going. From some previous posts and some reading I do the following: On my PC (called bach) $ xauth generate bach:0 . trusted timeout 300 $ xauth nextract - bach:0 | ssh 172.16.2.55 xauth nmerge - $ ssh -f -n 172.16.2.55 xterm -display bach:0 xterm launches, but my application (Analyze, a commercial image processing program) still says: Attempted a 'send' command, but X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization). I also tried to tunnel X after this $ ssh -f -n -Y 172.16.2.55 xterm but I have exactly the same behaviour as above. Note that ssh still outputs the message Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. I had this message already before using xauth, and the tunnel works exactly the same. I get the feeling that I do this wrong. From man Xsecurity I get the impression I should pass -auth to the X server, but there is no such option documented for Xwin. I've seen some emails from other people that they cannot get this to work. Hopefully somebody on this list knows better... Many thanks!

Cygwin X file structure
Hi to the Folks at Cygwin-X, I am trying to get XWindows running on my WinXP box using Cygwin. I am hoping to write some C++ applications using it. I am however totally confused by what to do after building the XWindows sources. 1) Should I copy the lib files in my my_build_dir/exports/lib directory to usr/X11/lib/ ? 2) How do I get gcc to automatically use the library files I have created? 3) Is there a tutorial on writing simple XWindows applications? regards Andy Little -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: How can get Windows fonts to appear in Oracle Developer with Cygwin/X?
I found my own solution. Here's what I did:
mkdir c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\TTF
cp \windows\fonts\verdana* \cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\TTF
start Cygwin bash
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
mkfontscale .
mkfontdir .
exit Cygwin bash
start Cygwin bash
run xset -q and note that the font path now includes the TTF directory
run xfontsel and note that when you select regstry/microsoft that verdata
appears under fmly

Subject: How can get Windows fonts to appear in Oracle Developer with
Cygwin/X?
How can I get Windows fonts to appear in an application running under
Cygwin/X?
When I use Cygwin/X 1.5.18 to run the Oracle Developer 9.0.4.2 on Red Hat
3.0, I'm don't see the verdana font in the field property sheets. With
Cygwin/X, I see 25 fonts beginning with clean and ending with utopia.
If I run ncdsoft PC-Xware, I see verdana in the list of 100 fonts
beginning with @arial unicode ms and ending with vtspecl_normal.
Here's what I tried:
1) Expose the Windows fonts to Cygwin on the PC. I copied the windows/font
directory to the Cygwin home and ran mkfontscale, but fonts.scale ends up
with only a zero in it.
2) Point Cygwin at the fonts server running on the host. I verified that
xfs was running on the server on port 7100. From the PC, I ran Xwin.exe
-query {host} -fp {host:7100), and also xset fp+ host:7100. Neither
command worked.
Any help would be appreciated.
