One method is to provide a 'mirror driver' to intercept the all calls
from GDI to the display driver (this should be the method used by
Netmeeting).
But that requires a device driver doesn't it? (i.e. code that runs in
kernel mode). Hooking into user32.dll only requires code that runs in

Please don't use GDI in the name. I ask this because I don't want there

Consider instead something like the following:

Can we move this discussion to another mailing list? and Get back to the
business of cygwin-xfree, here.
TIA
jim drash
Yes, will do as soon as the new project is set up. So it'll hopefully be
only a few more emails.

Submitted an application to source forge to create project XOpenWin.
Will post again when it is set up (takes a while for them to process)

Yes, but then I posted some other alternatives and suggested this name
and nobody
seemed to mind. I could always reapply for the project under a different
name...
I just thought a huge discussion about the name would take time... but
if people generally
want Win2X we can do that I guess.

A new SF project yes, but this is very much a Cygwin/XFree related
issue. It's easier to keep up
The only reason I have for Win2X is that it takes Windows output and sends
it to X...
Maybe we could call it.
OpenWin2X
Either way.
XopenWin is also nice.

I say move the discussion elsewhere. I have put up with it for now, but
it really needs to go so we can get back on topic here.
Of course, with the level of continuous contributions flowing from other
members of the Cygwin/XFree86 project, I can't hold out much hope for
this new project.
Any such development would need to occur in a branch that could
eventually be merged back in if it proves stable, useful, well
modularized, and actively maintained. If not, I'll just forget that
anyone ever talked about doing it in the first place. That's why it
needs to move off list, even

Yes, that is what I want.
The primary aim of Cygwin/XFree86 is to provide an open source X Server
for Microsoft Windows.
I intend to pursue that goal. If others are interested in pursuing a
highly-experiemental Windows shell replacement, then they are more than
welcome to do so, but not
