multiwindow crash on resolution 1280

2003-01-30 Thread J S
Hi, I have a customer trying out multiwindow mode on windows 95. He usually has his resolution set to 1280 x 1024, but for some reason multiwindow won't work with this. If I change his display settings to anything else though, it does work. Here is the log: ddxProcessArgument - Initializing

JS, What happens if he runs in 1280x1024 with -engine 1 instead of -multiwindow? Please send in a log from that run. I suspect it will be the same. Is 1280x1024 the maximum resolution that he can run in, or is there a higher resolution that works just fine with -multiwindow? I am just trying

What happens if you run xinit directly (instead of via startx)? For quite some time now I have been launching Cygwin/XFree86 via xinit without a hitch (no need to use startx IMHO). More info in the ML archives... http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-10/msg00091.html From: Shing-Fat

Some undesirable behaviour in Test77

Harold: The latest X server, Test 77, does not crash with -multiwindow -clipboard for me also. Thanks for the good work. There is, however, some undesirable behaviour with Test 77, which is not present in XWin-4.2.0-20. 1. I use the virtual desktop virtuawin. When I switch from another desktop

Raymond, The clipboard functionality was not introduced until 4.2.0-21, so what happens when you run 4.2.0-25 without the -clipboard flag? Can you download Test73 (== 4.2.0-21), run it without the -clipboard flag, and report if the bug is still there or not? Thanks for testing, Harold

using WindowMaker instead of twm

2003-01-30 Thread Quan Ding
I just downloaded and installed Cygwin. The default window manager : twm doesn't provide many functionality and it's hard to use. I don't even know how to change the windows size. (i'm a newbie). I found that there is wmaker.exe in X11R6/bin. So I replaced that with twm in the startxwin.sh file.

change the size of the window

2003-01-30 Thread Quan Ding
I'm a newbie to cygwin. I found that all windows in X-window are fixed in size. There's no border that I can drag and change the size of that window. I search the mailing list and googled online and didn't find the answer. So how do I configure so that the window's size can be changed freely?

Re: Re Some undesirable behaviour in Test 77 [Kensuke, please respond]

2003-01-30 Thread Harold L Hunt II
Raymond, I think that 4.2.0-20 was an unstripped build, whereas 4.2.0-21 was stripped. The stripping should not have any effect on your problem. So your problem has only to do with the -multiwindow mode. I think Kensuke needs to look at this. There may be some sort of race that is happening

Re: change the size of the window

2003-01-30 Thread Harold L Hunt II
Quan, Look, just REM out the starting of twm in your startxwin.bat, then add the parameter -multiwindow to the starting of XWin. That will use the integrated window manager, which I think will be more to your liking. It is an experimental feature, but I think you should use it anyway. Harold
