Re: Copy Paste to Windows
You have to change that batch file: ### @echo off D: chdir D:\cygwinNEW\bin bash --login -c /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin -query HOSTNAME ### Change it to: ### @echo off D: chdir D:\cygwinNEW\bin bash --login -c /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwin -clipboard -query HOSTNAME ### Harold
Re: Copy Paste to Windows
Several mirrors are between 6 months and 3 months out of date. Please run cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv. If the version reported is not 4.3.0-40, then you installed from an out of date mirror and you need to use a different mirror. Harold [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello .

Re: Copy Paste to Windows
Yes, your problem must be the version of the xserver. If you had the right version all you'd have to do would be: To copy from cygwin to Windows (1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy (2) the highlighted text is now on the clipboard (3) if you want to paste that selection into word or notepad then use CTRL-V on the windows side To copy from Windows to cygwin (1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy (2) press CTRL-C to copy seletion into clipboard (3) go into your xterm and press the middle mouse button to paste. If you don't have a 3 button mouse use the -emulate3buttons option in the startxwin.bat file. Then, to paste, all you'd have to do is press the two mouse buttons simultaneously. To copy from cygwin to cygwin (1) use the mouse to select (highlight) the text you want to copy (2) that puts the selection into the clipboard (3) place the cursor where you want to paste the text (4) press the middle mouse button (or the two mouse buttons simultaneously if using the -emulate3buttons option) That's all. --B.

Re: Copy Paste to Windows
You copy text to the clipboard in Win32 with Ctrl+C. You then paste that in X11 with either a middle mouse button click or via a menu in the current application (if it has a Paste menu item). You copy text in X11 by highlighting it and, optionally, clicking the Copy button in a menu (if the application has a Copy menu item). Leave the text highlighted just to be sure. To paste that text in Win32, press Ctrl+V. Try this first with Notepad and an xterm. If you still do not succeed, send in /tmp/XWin.log from a failed attempt.
