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:

RE: multiwindow crash on resolution 1280

2003-01-30 Thread Harold L Hunt II
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 to
figure out if this is a problem where the largest size is not possible but
anything smaller than that is okay, or if it is just that one size in the
middle has problems but all the rest are okay.

Oh yeah, and this was done with 4.2.0-25, right?

Thanks for testing,

Harold

If I run xterm locally, I get an xterm on my display (I have set up the

Is there currently any way of telling it either to serve on localhost as

Yeah, it would maybe seem that that would be easy... but I can't really 
tell how to figure out, from within the server, what hostname the server 
is listening on.  If you, or someone else, could figure that out, then 
it would really speed up how quickly I can actually take some action on 
this.

Not that I know of.

Re: startx: Malformed file inquiry

I first thought so too.  But I get the exact same diagnostic
text even if I run startx from  /usr/X11R6/bin, upto and
including

> > + xinit /home/Name/.xinitrc --


So ~/.xinitrc is being sourced in both cases.  And
.xinitrc was just a copy of /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.
I added a line at the beginning to echo the path,
but the never gets executed.  So I don't think the
error is caused by a problem with ~/.xinitrc (aside
from the fact that the same the safe file gets
sourced when I successfully run startx from
/usr/X11R6/bin).  I think it might be the xinit executable
itself, since that's the only code that runs before
.xinitrc.

I presume that people have tried startx from their
home directory and got it working?  Just looking for
a few responses as a sanity check.

Thanks.

Some undesirable behaviour in Test77

2003-01-30 Thread Raymond Kwong
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
to the one containing the xterms, I get incessant switching between xterms
if there is more than one. This behaviour was reported by others, I think.

2. I have 2 xterms, one partially covering the other. If I click the one
underneath to bring it to the front, the overlap area comes up only in 
outline. I can still see the material in the other xterm underneath. It is as
if the xterm brought up is transparent on the overlap area!

These 2 problems are not observed with XWin-4.2.0-20.

Let me know what details you need to know in connection with these two 
problems. Because of them, I normally still use XWin-4.2.0-20, 
manually starting xwinclip if necessary. Although I am not 100% sure, but I
think every X server later than XWin-4.2.0-20 that I tried exhibits similar
problems.

Re: Some undesirable behaviour in Test77

2003-01-30 Thread Harold L Hunt II
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.
But when I tried to run it. WindowMaker couldn't
start, crashed all the time.

So how do I use windowmaker instead of twm? (or does
cygwin come with any other better window manager?)

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 in the multiwindow code and the reproducibility of the 
bugs may be rather random.  I might look at it, but I won't have a lot 
of time until next week.

Re: change the size of the window

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.

Re: xterm Page-Up -- does it work?

Subject: Re: xterm Page-Up -- does it work?

Is your num-lock on?



No.  And also, page up seems to work on xterms
running on remote sun boxes.  I access the remote
twm desktop from the same laptop, using VNC.
Same PageUp keys.  Exact same Xresources
and .twmrc .  Go figure.

P.S.  I gather that it works for you?

  You probably have an older version of the XFree86-xserv package that
doesn't have the MultiWindow code in it.  Try running the Cygwin setup
program and upgrading.

  No, and yes, respectively.

  The answer to your other question is that twm doesn't resize windows
the way you're probably used to from other window managers; you can't
just grab any side or corner and stretch.  You resize windows in twm by
clicking on the resize box in the upper right corner of the window (aka
on the right end of the titlebar) and dragging out from there.  Note
that if you want to make the window smaller, you have to make it larger
first; in other words, drag it out larger and then with the mouse button
still down, drag it back smaller.  It sounds more complicated than it
is.
  Oh, and don't say twm isn't configurable just because _you_ don't know
how.  :)

Cannot run ssh...

2003-01-30 Thread Vic Lopez
Hi,
 I just installed the cygwin/xfree86 package. I do get the X window and
the xterm as well. So far so good. However, when I try to connect remotely
via ssh, I get the following message in the xterm:
bash: /usr/bin/ssh: Permission denied

then another message appears in a window with the message:
A required .DLL file, CYGCRYPTO-0.9.7.DLL was not found.

can somebody be so kind as to provide me with any pointers to fix this
problem? I've searched in the archives about this dll file, but I couldn't
find anything that could help me. Thanks. Regards. V.L.

you must install the openssl package.
see http://www.cygin.com/packages
