Re: Crash when single-click Xterm window

Does this happen too without the -clipboard parameter for XWin? Thanks. I tried running without -clipboard and there seems to be no problem when I right or left click an XTerm window. Stragely, with the -clipboard option only single clicks caused the problem. A left click-and-drag (and presumably a copy to the clipboard in the background) caused no problem. - Liam. _ eircom broadband is now up to four times faster than before.

Changing colours of XTerm
Thanks, It was a problem to do with line endings. I sent my .Xdefaults file to my remote UNIX account and opened it with vim. It looked OK. I opened it with vi and it had ^M appended to each line, so I removed each one and sent the file back to my PC where it worked without errors with Cygwin. I ran dos2unix on the file on my UNIX account but it seemed to make no difference. dos2unix does not seem to be in my Cygwin installation and I couldn't find it using the download utility, setup.exe. Also, should the -g geometry command work with Cygwin? I tried opening an xterm with -g and something like 600x500 and it restarted my Win98 PC.

Changing colours of XTerm
Hello, I have begun to use Cygwin on Windows and I have tried every technique I could find on the web for changing from the default black-on-white colours of Xterm (and perhaps other X applications) to something that's easier to look at. None of the techniques worked. I tried, among other things, changing XResources and uncommenting the lines in XTerm-color that XTerm-color told me to uncomment if I wanted to change colours. Does anyone know for sure how to change colours IN CYGWIN, because the general UNIX techniques don't seem to be working? Thanks in advance, Liam. _ eircom broadband is now up to four times faster than before. Phone 1850 73 00 73 or visit http://home.eircom.net/broadbandoffer
