Re: Clipboard integration does not work with XDMCP
Thank you very much for your prompt intervention. I can confirm that your fix works for me too.

having recently replaced my old keyboard (that had a US layout) with an
italian one, I'm having a problem with Cygwin X when running HP-UX clients:
AltGr does not work and this prevents me to use characters like [ { }
], etc.
I'm up to date with Cygwin and Cygwin X at the moment (1.7.9(0.237/5/3)
2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin for Cygwin and 1.10.2.0 for XWin).
These are the steps to reproduce the problem:
1) start Cygwin X
2) disable access control (xhost +)
3) access via telnet/ssh a HP-UX machine
4) open an xterm from the HP-UX machine in Cygwin X
5) in the newly opened xterm try to use AltGr (AltGr + è (i.e. the key
at the right of P), should produce {, while AltGr + Shift + è should
produce {)
I'm missing here what is actually produced. Nothing? or the unmodified è?
The unmodified è (well, sort of, because when I press è on the keyboard I
see on the terminal I (I think because of some other problem of the terminal
with non-ASCII chars) and if I press AltGr+è I yet see I, so it's just
like pressing AltGr has no effect at all).
6) fall on the floor crying in desperation
This is perfectly normal for people having to deal with XKB :-)
Notice that when using a client from a Linux machine all works properly.
A googled a lot and found a lot of information but only few of it applied
(=helped) to my specific case. I tried to mess with xmodmap and kbd config
files and also with other stuff, but nothing seemed to solve the problem.
I think a solution is contained in this old mailing list post [1], use
XKB_DISABLE=1 and adjust the keyboard map so that AltGr is Mode_switch and the
keys have the expected mapping in group 2, activated via Mode_switch.
Note that just reassigning AltGr to Mode_switch is not enough, you'll need to
remap appropriately the keys which generate different characters with AltGr
e.g. something like:
xmodmap -e clear mod5
xmodmap -e clear mod3
xmodmap -e keycode 113 = Mode_switch Multi_key
xmodmap -e add mod3 = Mode_switch
xmodmap -e keycode 34 = egrave eacute bracketleft braceleft
(and so on for the other keys which need to generate different characters with
AltGr)
I already encountered some like that while searching the internet but didn't
work.
I tried what you wrote here but didn't work either...
Just to be clear, you probably have to do all this before you start the xterm
you are going to be working in.
Can I see the xev output when you try that setup?
Is there anything that I can do to go deeper into the analysis of this
problem? xev seems not of any help, since it returns the same results both for
Xming where all works and Cygwin X where I have the problem.
Yes, that's rather mystifying.
You might consider using wireshark, xmon or xscope to examine the protocol
interactions between client and server (not sure if all of these can decode
XKB extension protocol) to see if there is any difference there.
Fiddling aroung with Wireshark I was able to understand what the problem
was and I had the confirm thanks to xmodmap.
With Xming I had that keycode 34 (è) is associated to
egrave eacute bracketleft braceleft bracketleft braceleft
while with CygwinX the association is
egrave eacute egrave eacute bracketleft braceleft
I don't know the exact meaning of each of the positions above, but with
xmodmap -e keycode 34 = egrave eacute bracketleft braceleft bracketleft
braceleft
I solved the problem.
I then saw that that solves the problem even without setting XKB_DISABLE
but only with some applications (e.g. with xterm works, with nedit you
need XKB_DISABLE set).
So just executing the xmodmap above for keycode 34, also within the same
xterm on which I had the problem, without setting XKB_DISABLE and
without doing anything else (so not resetting of the modifiers with
'xmodmap -e clear mod5', etc.), it works (but better setting
XKB_DISABLE=1 in order to make all clients work).
In short:
export XKB_DISABLE=1
xmodmap -e keycode 34 = egrave eacute bracketleft braceleft bracketleft
braceleft
xmodmap -e keycode 35 = plus asterisk bracketright braceright
bracketright braceright
xmodmap -e keycode 48 = agrave degree numbersign dead_abovering
numbersign dead_abovering numbersign dead_abovering
xmodmap -e keycode 47 = ograve ccedilla at dead_cedilla at dead_cedilla
at dead_cedilla ograve ccedilla at dead_cedilla
does the job (with the above I just fix the four keys needed to get [,
{, ], }, @ and #, probably others are missing, like AltGr+E
for the Euro sign, but I don't use them within HP-UX so no problem for me).
WARNING WARNING WARNING: I wrote the above xmodmap statements by getting
their values from xmodmap -pk and replacing the 3rd and 4th values

Re: Remonte seesion with HP-UX CDE II
I've had similar problems with HP-UX CDE, sometimes the problem was solved by using one of the HP-UX machines as a font server.

Try it also with other fullscreen applications (e.g. games) you'll find that they are automatically minimized whenever you switch to some other application. Instead you should try to not run X in fullscreen mode (i.e. removing -fullscreen) and then you'll be able to switch to other application/windows without having X minimized.

Re: Default directory is C:\PROGRA~1\RATIONAL\RATION~1\NUTCROOT\mksnt\?
Not entirely true, Larry. If he *were* to remove that installation of MKS, he would then discover that his Rational Rose/Clearcase/Clearquest installation was broken. IBM's Rational toolkit relies on having those MKS tools available (and no, they cannot be coerced into using cygwin's tools instead). I don't use Clearquest, but I use both Rose and ClearCase and I didn't installed at all MKS. Anyway I had the problem described by the original poster when I installed Rational Rose the first time because I choose to install Quality Architect (if I remember well), removing that component I haven't had no more problems with Cygwin.

Re: problem
Now by default the multi-window mode is used: you don't have anymore a specific window for the X server. In this mode Windows Explorer is used as a Window Manager and you can see that X is running by looking at the X shaped icon in the tray. If you want X to start as it did before you must launch directly XWin without the -multiwindow options, or you can provide a .xserverrc file in your home directory (or the system wide configuration in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc).

MultiWindow Mode: stty speed = 0 on xterm cause rlogin to fail
Hello everybody, it's some time I'm using Cygwin and XFree and I feel very satisfied with both them. Until today, I always have used the rootless mode + wmaker (which I like very much). Anyway this morning I tried to switch to the multiwindow mode. Having customized the contextual menu of wmaker, I wished to port those menu items into the XWin menu modifying .XWinrc. I have unable to do that, because most of those menu items are xterms that rlogins toward HP-UX machines, and they do not work anymore into multiwindow mode. The problem seems related to the stty speed parameter. In effect opening an xterm within rootless mode I can see from stty that the terminal speed is 38400, while opening the same terminal from multiwindow mode I see that the speed is 0 (the same does not happens for rxvt for which stty always reports 38400). Searching Google I found that Speed == 0 means hang up for some machines (e.g. Sun or HP-UX). A solution suggested by this Google search was to modify /etc/profile adding something like that: if [ -n $DISPLAY -a $TERM = xterm ] ; then stty 38400 fi In effect this modification solves the problem for rlogins launched manually by an xterm, but I does not affect at all commands inserted into .XWinrc (they look like xterm -e rlogin machine -l user). I tried several ways to put the speed to 38400 for those menu entries but I have always failed. Is there a way to do that?

I was trying to use Windows XP's 'switch user' feature and get rather

startxwin.bat)
I get error messages relating to /tmp/.X11-unix (permission denied).
If you check startxwin.bat, this is indeed a problem. Every user/session
will use the same filename. my 2nd user does not have permission to mess
around with the /tmp/.X11-unix created by the first user, so it has
problems.
Maybe this can be fixed by using /tmp/$USER/.X11-unix or so. But maybe you
do not want it to be fixed (see below).
However, now comes the weird thing.
I then switched back to account 1. And it has a new Xterm open, which seems
to be owned by user 2 (that is 'id -un' reports user 2)! I did not really
check if it has all relevant permissions and so on but it's pretty scary
anyway!
This is perfectly normal, if you look into startxwin.bat you can find
the following:
--
REM Startup the X Server with the integrated Windows-based window manager.
start XWin -multiwindow
REM Startup an xterm, using bash as the shell.
run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e
/usr/bin/bash
--
(Last two lines are only one that have been wrapped)
Trying to start another XServer on the same display (:0 implicitely)
will fail (as already explained by Alexander).
Instead the opening of an xterm will work, because the xterm is opened
in the already running XServer.
It's the same situation that often happens with Unix machines when you
launch a X app from a remote machine toward your X server, but forget to
specify the display (or to export the DISPLAY variable) and then your
application is displayed in the remote X server (probably used by
someone else).
Do you think user switching could be supported by XFree? (Don't worry if you
say no. It's not a life-saving requirement for me!)
This is normal behaviour. X11 communication work either via TCP/IP where the
xserver uses port 6000+display number or via unix domain sockets where the
xserver uses the file /tmp/.X11-unix/X${display number}.
If you want to start another xserver as a different user you have to supply
a screen number different from those of all started servers.
eg. if the first server was started with XWin -options then the second should
be started with XWin :1 -options

Keyboard focus problem + scrambled icons in wmaker with latest release
Hello, I'm running the latest version of Cygwin, XFree and WindowMaker (from mirrors.rcn.net, but I also tried mirrors.sunsite.dk and mirrors.kernel.org) in my WinXP Pro workstation and I have the following problems: 1) when I move my mouse outside a xterm windows the keyboard focus is lost by that window and is re-taken when I get back to that window with the mouse pointer. It only happens with Cygwin-XFree's xterm, while if I launch, for example, HP-UX's xterm from a HP workstation or Cygwin's rxvt or Nedit it doesn't happen. This started to happen 1/2 weeks ago (consider that I constantly monitor the announce mailing lists of Cygwin and, hence, I make setup.exe run once every one/two days). I saw, from the list, that other people have this problem too. 2) this morning I ran setup and I downloaded the latest modifications to Xwinclip, XFree86-bin, etc. From that point on, some of the icons of wmaker are scrambled, in particular the icons that represents terminals and the icons of the Window Maker Preferences Utility, launching wmaker by hand (i.e. not as I usually do with a script that launces XWin and then wmaker) I get this errors on stderr: TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /usr/X11R6/share/WINGs/Images.tiff: unknown field with tag 317 (0x13d) encountered.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 96
I have downloaded and installed XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-4, but it seems that it holds the old version of XWin.exe.

wrong app-defaults in fresh installation
Hi, in in a fresh installation of Cygwin on my new XP PC, I noticed that xcalc (and other X apps) didn't work properly. I have had this problem some time ago: within the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults has been created a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults (where the app-defaults of many applications are). So while in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults there are on the app-defaults of Mwm all the other app-defaults are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/app-defaults and the various X apps (e.g. xcalc) can't find them. Last time I thought that this problem was my fault in that I installed X, lessTiff, WindowMaker as separate packages before they were included in setup and then, when they become available in setup, I replaced them with the setup versions. So I thought some re-packaging would have caused that problem and simply replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults with a link to /etc/X11/app-defaults. Now, with a fresh Cygwin installation, I have the some problem (that I will solve in the same way) so I think there is some problem with the installation of some X package.

Re: Installing LessTif breaks XFree86
Finally, I understand why, at some point, all the app-defaults disappeared. I had to fix them manually, now I know the cause. Graham Bloice wrote: Installing LessTif-0.93.18-3 creates a directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 named app-defaults. This overrides the symbolic link placed there by XFree86-lib post install pointing to /etc/X11. Amongst other things this breaks XCalc. Regards, Graham Bloice
Re: XDMCP
I had the same problem some time ago and the solution was to start a font server on one of the HP-UX machines and the use that font server when connecting to any of the HP-UX machines. I also tried to copy all the needed fonts locally, bu I failed: I copied 60Mb of fonts from any directory with fonts but, for some reason, the connection stopped after the login.

Re: XServer with no local GUI like KDE
I don't understand clearly what you want, but maybe the -rootless parameter of XWin.exe could be useful. With -rootless applications displayed by the XServer seems notive Windows applications in that they lay on Windows desktop. In any case you need to start a window manager (twm, WindowMaker, icewm, ecc.). Bye, Danilo Turina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, pls, provide. I want to have a non-visible X11-Server via Cygwin.
