XWin X server + AIX 5.3 client: keyboard input garbled: permanent Alt-Gr mode
Hello, I'm running into problems using XWin X Server (tried current stable and latest 6.8.99.901-4) with AIX 5.3 clients. The clients start alright (having ssh'd or telnet'd the AIX machine, set the DISPLAY, starting xterm or other client), but then the keyboard input for that client will be garbled: it seems to be a permanent Alt-Gr mode, i.e. I am getting @, | and ³ characters just fine (without pressing Alt-Gr, german keyboard), but that's all I get. This has been observed before: http://de.nntp2http.com/alt/comp/cygwin+co/2005/10/e87edd53b78b8fff1df997a26 295d43b.html (german posting). At the same time an Exceed(8.0) server (on :1.0) does have no problems with the AIX 5.3 clients. All other clients that I am connecting to (AIX 5.1, Solaris 8, RHEL 3) are working just fine. A local (cygwin-) xterm with an ssh-session to AIX 5.3 works fine. X startup I'm using: xwin -clipboard Then a local xterm, then local wmaker XWin.log: _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information 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 81 (--) 5 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!

xkbcomp errors
Hi, I have the usual setup of XDMCP session between my Windows box and my newly installed Fedora Core 5 box. Everything works OK except for keyboard layouts. I have 2 layouts defined in KDE in the Linux box: en and il (Hebrew). When I start a remote KDE session via the XDMCP setup, the KDE language bar has this little X mark on it, indicating that it's not working. I'm getting the following error on the console (on the Windows box): The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: Error:Error interpreting include file pc Exiting Abandoning symbols file default Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server (EE) Error loading keymap /tmp/server-0.xkm Any idea? -S. -- 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/
Unable to Launch Java GUIs on Solaris 9 using XCygwin installed on a windows XP
We have some applications with GUIs developed using Java AWT and SWING that are installed on a Solaris 9 machine. We have XCygwin installed on a Windows XP machine. We are unable to launch any of the Java GUIs using XCygwin. All Motif GUIs work fine. Has anyone else faced this problem ? -- -- 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/

Please follow the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html. If it's the former, unpack the source tarball again using the Cygwin version of tar, which should set executable permissions properly. It could also be that the tarball itself is broken (i.e., RANLIB.csh isn't executable), in which case a chmod a+x RANLIB.csh should do the trick. Thank you Igor. i am using Cygwin version of tar. i found there is only one RANLIB.csh which is in tiff/ directory, and the .csh file has executable bit set ok. As Matthias mentioned, you are likely either missing /usr/bin/csh or the tcsh package. The latter guess would have been confirmed had you followed the problem reporting guidelines at http://cygwin.com/problems.html. In either case, (re)installing the tcsh package should fix your problem. Igor thank you. i installed the tcsh and passed the previous steps. but got another error: make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xv-3.10a/tiff' cc -O -DDOJPEG -Ijpeg -DDOTIFF -Itiff -DDOPDS -c xv.c In file included from xv.c:11: xv.h:119: error: conflicting types for 'sys_errlist' /usr/include/sys/errno.h:23: error: previous declaration of 'sys_errlist' was here xv.h:119: error: conflicting types for 'sys_errlist' /usr/include/sys/errno.h:23: error: previous declaration of 'sys_errlist' was here make: *** [xv.o] Error 1 please help! -- woody -- 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/
