Then again, I would rather defer judgement on this one to someone with more knowledge on this subject. Question to Thomas: Why make xterm the default if all (?) ncurses applications run in black and white with it ? Sure, you can change .Xdefaults etc, but go figure. --disable-tek4014 --disable-vt52 seems to be recommend because it adds bloat and only a few people use it. Might not be a bad idea, but the .exe is only 233 KiB at the moment. It isn't exactly bloated. :) According to INSTALL: This reduces the executable size by 17% (checked 1999/3/13). Thomas should update it. I didn't notice 1/4 of it in the size. Maybe --disable-vt52 isn't worth. It isn't listed as bloat. You can presumably replace the xc/program/xterm/ with xterm-185/ and the make World will use it. The idea here was to break xterm into its own package so it can be updated with more frequency and possibly handed off to someone else for maintenance. I have done this with the new 'xterm' package in setup.exe... should hit mirrors by tomorrow. Sure. You just need to make sure all options enabled by a build with xmkmf are with one using configure.

This will be a very good thing since all of the Cygwin/X developers will be able to stay in sync with the exact code that is in distribution via CVS, compared to our current system today where the code in distribution has many differences from that in CVS. The rebuild won't mean much to end users: all libraries remain binary compatible with the current packages and the contents of the release (programs, etc.) will be almost identical. What are the main differences between it and XFree86 4.4.0 ? Are things like XTerm 185 included, or everything that goes to XFree86 can't to X.org ? 2) Split the bin package into at least a few pieces (but not too many pieces): 2a) bin-dlls will contain the .dll files only. This would allow packages like emacs or xemacs to depend only on bin-dlls instead of on the entire bin package which includes programs not used by emacs nor xemacs. Maybe do the same for Lesstif ? 2b) bin-lndir would contain the lndir utility. lndir has no dependence on X libs and can be used by any programmer for non-X projects. Nice. lndir is very useful when a /path/to/configure options doesn't work as expected due to lack of Automake support or brokeness. 2c) bin-apps would contain all other applications originally contained in bin but not contained in bin-dlls nor bin-lndir. I thought you'd split it more, like only adding what's really essential, and move xbiff, xclock, xedit, xman, etc to a separate package. But how to know what's essential ?

I wasn't able to find anything using libintl* at all during my initial investigation, but I would appreciate it if you would look into it further and tell us what your method was (e.g. run cygpath against *.exe and *.dll in the bin package and report which of the three are referenced and which are not).

Search the mailing list archives, it is probably one of the only messages referencing gettext. It was just a guess. Since all packages were updated in 2003, libintl and libintl1 are from 2001, and libintl2 from 2002 and 2003, I thought it you needed libintl, the latter would be the requirement. But you're right. Here nothing returns it. Actually, I don't do a full install, and the only things still using libintl1 are: textutils grep findutils. Guess what ? They're all from 2002.

XWin.exe.stackdump
Does it help ? http://pervalidus.port5.com/tmp/XWin.exe.stackdump I got it with all latest packages while shutdowning the server running my latest IceWM build (the first with working fontconfig support (--enable-gradients --enable-antialiasing). A month ago it'd just crash at startup with the above options enabled, but the stackdump was from IceWM. It never crashed without them. waiting for X server to shut down .. xinit: X server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal. waiting for server to die ... xinit: Can't kill server [1]+ Donestartx I couldn't reproduce it.

I've been using it since last month but did a new build with fontconfig. The server crashed once at logout time (the window manager had already closed) and I couldn't reproduce it. I don't even know if it's related to the new build. It could be a mere coincidence. I thought you might be able to know if it's a XWin bug from the stackdump using addr2line -e XWin.exe Function, but you probably need a -g build since here it only returns ??:0.

Weird keyboard behavior with Caps Lock key
Something strange happened minutes ago. I was typing and suddenly all subsequent keys pressed showed as capitals, like if something reversed the Caps Lock key. With it enabled all showed as lower case. Then I tested in an open rxvt from where I started the session and everything showed right. The problem was only on Xfree86, and I had to restart it. I'm using all current packages and latest server. Any idea of what might have caused it or what I can do to track it down if it reappears ? Nothing in the logs. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

Just shooting in the dark. I assume pt means the symbols, which
are in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols. Brazil uses br, not pt. Though, I
don't know what 0x416 means.

Re: Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-14
Sorry for the flood, but I downloaded the XF86Config example
from the FAQ and modified it like on Linux.
pc105 works, but not for all keys. You really need abnt2.
The ones which didn't work with pc105:
\| (the first after the left Shift) returns and
]} (the one before Enter) returns \ and |

New IceWM package
Since the 2 IceWM ports listed at http://xfree86.cygwin.com/ported-software.html aren't that new (and probably require XFree86-lib-compat), and unfortunately nobody else seems to distribute their binaries (I couldn't find others on the mailing-list archives and Google), I decided to package 1.2.13pre3 CVS, which I was using without any problems on Linux (and IceWM since 1998-1999). I had to build it about 10 times to get a usable binary, but the first part is done. Feel free to use it. It didn't crash yet, and at least changing themes, restarting, switching workspaces, and editing the menu file on the fly worked, so... It requires Cygwin 1.5.x, and presumably the new 1.5.x XFree86 packages. http://www.pervalidus.net/cygwin/icewm/ -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
First time installing XFree86
This is the first time I install XFree86 on Cygwin. I'm running all current packages and for now installed the following: XFree86-bin-4.3.0-3 XFree86-bin-icons-4.3.0-2 XFree86-etc-4.3.0-3 XFree86-lib-4.3.0-1 XFree86-prog-4.3.0-5 XFree86-startup-scripts-4.2.0-5 XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-11 XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1 I skipped XFree86-fenc-4.2.0-3 and XFree86-fnts-4.2.0-3 since I'm using the fonts from my Linux partition (mounted with Ext2fsd 0.10a) to save some space. I don't know if the segfault I get starting xedit is related. All other applications I tried work. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is a symlink to /l/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, which is read-only (directories dr-xr-xr-x and files -r--r--r--). Since I'm not going to run mkfontdir I suppose it should work. BTW, will XFree86-xwinclip-4.3.0-1 be recompiled ? It currently depends on XFree86-lib-compat. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html

I just read the descriptions and installed what I thought I'd use. Anyway, I'm not going to install XFree86-lib-compat just to run it, what I'll consider if I need other applications. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
