Re: FW: Problem: extreme speed difference NT4 Win98SE runing Xfree

2002-04-17 Thread Uwe Schmidtmann
Hello. Thanks for all the good hints. I am trying to comment them all at once: First of all: The comparison was running Xfree, icewm, nedit and an own application completely under cygwin on the same machine - not outgoing connections. That is exactly my problem: I want to avoid using two

Curious refresh rate behavior...

2002-04-17 Thread Thomas Chadwick
My Windows 2000 desktop is set at 1024x768x24 75Hz. However, when I specify the following, I get a screen 60Hz: XWin -fullscreen -depth 8 Adding -refresh 75 doesn't help, I still get 60Hz. If I do this, I get 75Hz, but not the 8-bit depth I want: XWin -fullscreen If I do this, I

I just installed the Type 1 font package that comes with Cygwin, Xfscl.tgz. The x-server still can't find the fonts. Is there some configuration file I need to edit also to make Cygwin aware of the fonts? This is what I did: cd /usr/X11R6 extract.exe zxf Xfscl.tgz Thanks, Lars. -- Lars
