so the X graphic that started appearing floating in the top left corner of a screen, but no longer does, had some sort of menu associated with it? Who knew? Yes, new notification bar icon (occasionally two?) has xterm option in pop up menu in pop up window of all notification icons, of which

Updated cygwin 32-bit with installer, now X no longer spawning windows or terminal on launch. Just seems to hang after running startxwin. Is there anything obvious in the log below? (eight mouse buttons? on a three-button mouse?) thanks Lloyd Wood http://savi.sf.net $ startxwin Could not

(Resending because qmail can't handle mime) I don't have a ~/.startxwinrc file, because the account home directory was created without one. Creating one, making it executable, adding commands to it makes no difference - the X server launches (--muiltiwindow or not) and then decides to shut

Jon, thanks for looking into this. I can confirm that under the current Cygwin release, with your original XWin debug code and geomview running with opengl support enabled and SaVi animating the Geomview window and forcing camera updates: moving the geomview window up and/or to the left causes

Hi Jon, the lack of flickering and lack of double-buffering you describe sounds like geomview being run without opengl, either because it has been compiled without opengl (still the default if you just type ./configure, I believe), or because geomview -noopengl was issued. Did you build

Well, it's been eighteen months since I last asked: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2009-02/msg00259.html so I attempted to use opengl hardware acceleration with Cygwin and XFree 7.4, using Geomview (www.geomview.org) as the test application on an uptodate Cygwin 1.7 install. Lots of

Hi Jon, I just downloaded the current X server and its libraries in the Cygwin distro; the xwin-gl allusion came from the previous thread I mentioned. Compiling geomview 1.9.4 --with-opengl is straightforward (that's one improvement on pre-7.4 X; configure doesn't get confused about X library
