I'm on wireless too. I've been wondering why cygwin/x has been locking up, requiring me to restart the x server. I am quite certain that there have been network admin activity getting into my laptop.
After terminating cygwin/x when it locks up under such a situation, wmaker session would still be displayed on XP process list, along with rsh sessions I've had. The wmaker session cannot be killed, either by XP Task Mgr or MS Giant AntiSpy. I would have to reboot the laptop. No, I could not even reboot because XP could not kill wmaker. I had to press the power button. On restart of cygwin/x, a new set of wmaker is started, but is not effective as evidenced by all x application windows piling up at the top left corner of cygwin/x window. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of jason cafarelli Sent: Tue, October 25, 2005 2:30 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: CYGWIN/X11 CRASHES ON BOOT UP - i am not running zone alarm or any other firewall o.O Hellos, I've noticed that if my wireless configuration is changed by a external program (aka a wireless profile utlility), The cygwin/X server locks up. I read something about the cygwin server not liking the ip stack changed? Any work arounds come to mind? "I only use the x server locally" *more details Basically i have a wireless tablet that is autoconfigured on boot up. I threw a shortcut to cygwin/usr/x11r6/bin/startxwin.bat into the windows startup folder. The first time you go to use the any of the cygwin/x functions the c/x stops responding. After closing the x server then reopening via startxwin batch file the x server runs perfectly. The wirless configuration is configured after cygwin is loaded. There are no firewalls, antivirus of any kind loaded (incuding the xp's firewall and security center). __________________________________ Yahoo!
