So perhaps what you need to do is uninstall the dpi100 font package? Just to confirm - I removed the 100dpi fonts, and now my display is back to what it was before the recent major X update. Unfortunately, Cygwin thinks other installs are dependent on the the 100dpi fonts, so on any update I'll

If you use my pre-built binary you only need to have the cygwin source package installed and cygwin prep'ed, you don't need all of it's build dependencies as well. Jon, the probem is that xorg-server-1.5.3-4/build/hw/xwin/.libs does not exist because of the build failure I sent you

If you're building emacs yourself, you might try to ./configure it --without-xim to see if that makes a difference, or if it just fails in a different place. That worked - Thank you... Now I can run Emacs (from the non-production Solaris machine I'm allowed to patch). Now I'm just trying to

What is the failure mode for running emacs on an unpatched Solaris? Same before and after the patch (the almost immediate BadAtom error). However, before the patch, when I ran an xterm it displayed, but the first keystroke made it crash with BadAlloc. After the patch, xterm appears to run

Some confusion... Are you sure that the stack trace points back to XCreateIC() in an emacs built --without-xim run on an unpatched Solaris? No - built --without-xim, on a patched Solaris, it doesn't crash any more _at all_, my only problem is fonts. I'll try getting rid of the 100dpi fonts.

Thanks for the build, because I couldn't get the build to work. I double checked I'd installed everything (Cygwin installer needs command line option!). Something to do with autoconf I think: checking build system type... config.sub: missing argument Try `config.sub --help' for more
