On the other hand when I connect using X-Win32 I get:- auto repeat: onkey click persent: 0LED mask: 00 with no 'auto repeat delay' value at all, i.e. X-Win32 doesn't seem to have attempted to set the auto repeat delay or repeat rate at all and thus I'm left with the existing keyboard settings which are fine. It would appear that cygwin/xfree *is* setting the auto repeat delay and speed whereas X-Win32 isn't. If it is setting these where are the default values? If it isn't then what is going on? I know I can fix it by using 'xset' but this seems a bit of a bodge, I'd rather do it properly. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: xwinclip-Test07 does not work with XWin -query
Your advice consists of ``it would be better if someone had some time to polish some rough edges in xwinclip.'' Are you suggesting that you have some time to polish those rough edges? As you said yourself, none of it is hard to do. Harold Joo-won Jung wrote: Sanori, Let me tell you, I wrote xwinclip and I still don't fully understand how to make it work well when using -query. I can tell you that running xhost on your Windows machine won't help anything. What you need to do is run xhost in a terminal that is running within your -query session. That should setup XWin.exe on your machine to accept connections from local clients. The reason you can run xhost on your Windows machine is that not even xhost has permission to connect to XWin.exe at that point, so xhost cannot modify the access control list. I know that only the clients on XDM host have control on control list of the X server when I run X with '-query' option, and I did so. I hope that helps, let us know if it does. Harold Now I found the problem. xwinclip.exe does not process '-display' option. I found this after seeing the source code of xwinclip. I think it would be better if xwinclip process '-display' option as other X clients do, or give error message if the option is not recognized. (Someone may say that it's the bash's fault since bash does not set DISPLAY environment variable.) I tried 'export DISPLAY=:0' and 'xwinclip' instead of doing 'xwinclip -display :0', then it works. Of course, I did 'xhost win_host_name' on the terminal before doing this. One more feature request: It would be better if the option for silent or designate the log file.

French keyboard : XWin -query
Hello,
I try to replace Exceed by Xfree86 in my department of research.
In my .bat file, I generate a keymap and I connect to a hostname parameter
(see after).
So, at the login windows, my keyboard is french and so during my session.
But, the ALT GR doesn't work. So we can't use XFree86, because our
scientists need
~ { [ | \ ] } in their programs or in their Matlab session.
What is your solution for this problem ?
Thanks.
