Re: xinit hangs on XWin infinite loop when using -displayfd

XWin should verify whether a device which supports the target protocol exists before attempting to open a socket on it. Yes, it shouldn't fail like this if IPv6 isn't installed I suspect the same problem will occur if you use X -displayfd built with IPv6 on linux kernel without IPv6 support What is this used for? Sharing a local X session with someone else? Logging onto an existing X session at work from home? I've only ever used X locally or through ssh forwarding. It's used to allow remote X clients to connect to an X server without using a ssh tunnel (e.g. [1]) [1] http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html#using-remote-apps-telnet -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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: XWin cursor huge on one computer but normal on another

I primarily work on my workstation which has four 1080p monitors (three

it still it.
The issue is that on my worksation, the cursor is huge and is sometimes
even cropped for being too large. This is especially noticeable for
applications like xterm and gedit.
I think it might be a DPI or scaling issue due to my large screen size,
however I've always explicitly defined "-dpi 96" in my xinit.
I had thought that this was a known bug and hadn't thought much about it
until I pulled up gedit on my laptop where I saw that the cursors were
all fine. I thought that maybe I had different packages but even after
copying my entire cygwin directory and startup scripts over, on my
laptop it still shows cursors no larger than the default Windows size.
Has anyone experienced this before?
This is pretty odd. Not a known bug, or one that I think we have a had
reported before.
I guess what you are seeing when you say the cursor is 'cropped' is the
X cursor being truncated to fit in the Windows cursor size of
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXCURSOR) by GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCURSOR)
The libXcursor checks various things [1] when choosing a cursor size,
falling back to (smallest screen dimension/48), so I guess it's your
large display causing this issue.
I'm not sure about the best way to fix this, but as a workaround for the
moment, you might try setting the XCURSOR_SIZE env var to something
reasonable.
You might like to try this small test program to confirm what's going on:
$ cat cursor.c
#include
#include
int main()
{
Display *dpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
int c = XcursorGetDefaultSize(dpy);
printf("XcursorGetDefaultSize = %d\n", c);
printf("GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXCURSOR) = %d\n",
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXCURSOR));
printf("GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCURSOR) = %d\n",
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCURSOR));
}
$ gcc cursor.c -o cursor -lXcursor -lX11
$ ./cursor
XcursorGetDefaultSize = 22
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXCURSOR) = 32
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYCURSOR) = 32

Re: keyboard problem with mwm and window done with Motif

Thanks for reporting this problem. I can't immediately reproduce it, so perhaps you can help me with a bit more information Can you attach your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log so I can see precisely what keyboard layout you are using?
