Re: Patch for keyboard handling
Harold, Actually, now I am a little doubtful that this patch is complete. If I recall correctly, we are merely enqueueing input events into a queue that the mi layer processes later. Checking the mode key states within the X server will only indicate what the mi layer currently knows about the mode key states. The my layer would not know that there are messages in its queue that change the state of the mode keys. I agree with you. If the mi event queue has pending events when winRestoreModeKeyStates is called, it may fail to synchronize mode key states between XWin and Windows. However, the new code can re-sync them at the next time winRestoreModeKeyStates is called while it is hard to do for the old code. I also recall that there is a way to force the mi layer to process all input events (miProcessInputEvents ?) and that this could be called before querying the state of the mode key states in order to get a consistent result. Thank you for your suggestion. mieqProcessInputEvents seems to do the work. I inserted a code to call it and it looks working well for now, though I don't sure if it is legal to call it from the place other than ProcessInputEvents. The attached is a revised patch to call the function. I deeply appreciate your feedback. Takuma Murakami ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) xwin.kbd2.patch Description: Binary data
Re: Grabbing XFree86.org's xc/ tree using cvsup
Harold, what you want to do is to create a special vendor branch on your repository and import a *tagged* version of XFree86. This tagging makes it really easy to import well defined versions and updates from these. Of course you can mirror the XFree86 CVS on a regular basis. XFree86 is running cvsup so this is really easy. However this repository can only serve as a reference as any commits to it will be overwritten when you do the next cvsup. Actually you may want to start the repository by importing this vendor branch. You should then tag each update of this branch with the same tag that is used by XFree86. This branch together with the tag can be used to keep other branches (including the trunk) in sync with the vendor branch. It should be decided what goes into which branch and the trunk. You also may want to look at the CVS usage instructions the DRI project has. They have rather sophisticated mechanisms to keep the CVS in shape. Egbert. Harold L Hunt II writes: I am looking into how to import the XFree86.org xc/ tree into freedesktop.org. It looks like cvsup is the way to go here, since it mirrors the actual repository instead of grabbing a snapshot of the repository. My question is: should I tell cvsup to drop the tree directly into /home/cvs, or should I pull the tree into my home directory, then copy it into /home/cvs? It sort of seems unwise to drop the tree directly into /home/cvs, especially since cvsup needs to keep some state files (which I would most likely put in /home/harold/xc/sup) that imply that only one person would be able to make changes to the cvsup mirror. Another thing to keep in mind is how we want to do development. It has been suggested that we keep the HEAD branch in sync with XFree86.org and that we do our development on another branch. The question here is whether cvsup can preserve a local branch of the code and still be used to sync with XFree86.org. I doubt that this is the case, since cvsup is essentially mirroring the files, not branches/tags/etc. Does this mean that we must manually track XFree86.org and apply their patches after the initial import? I would appreciate any input on this. Let me be the first to admit that I am not a CVS administrator. I want to get this tree setup quickly so that Alexander Gottwald (ago), Kensuke Matsuzaki (zakki), and myself can quickly resume our development on Cygwin/X. Another goal is for the xc/ tree to be usable by others that wish to develop on an old-style xc/ tree outside of XFree86.org.

Re: New package: gv-3.5.8-1
Hmm... Well, we never really defined what the policy was regarding announcements. I have been cross-posting them for years now :) I'm the one that told Volker to do the cross-post, it is my fault. He was just doing what I asked him to do. I also was not able to get the list of subscribers for both lists until recently. One list has about 340 people while the other has about 370. It seems that there is a lot of overlap, so it would probably be okay to stop posting announcements at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Heck, I didn't even realize that so many people were signed up for cygwin-xfree-announce. I thought it was being ignored. Guess I should have checked those lists earlier. I guess that is it then. The policy is changed. I won't cross-post announcements anymore. Thanks for making me think this through :) Harold Alan Hourihane wrote: Can these announce messages, be left to the cygwin-announce-xfree... lists.

obstacle running cygwin (communicating with Solaris 8, Sparc) ...
Hello, it's my intention to start a remote login-process at the solaris-pc via cygwin. Unfortunately the login-session is always interrupted. Cygwin is only able to depict a black screen (including the mouse cursor). Nothing else occurs ... I figured out the same behaviour while using realvnc. After - let's say - 30 seconds the vncserver terminates itself with the following error message: XDMCP fatal error: login failed (something like that). I've already checked the Xaccess-file ... without success. Does anyone know a solution? It should be mentioned that the login-process has already been working since some months. It has to stay relation with more or less conscious modifications to the Solaris-PC. But where should I take a look at? Much thanks in advance!

WindowMaker-0.80.2-1 bad TIFFs?
My recently-updated Cygwin WindowMaker is whining to me: TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /usr/X11R6/share/WINGs/Images.tiff: unknown field with tag 317 (0x13d) encountered. TIFFReadDirectory: Warning, /usr/X11R6/share/WindowMaker/Icons/Terminal.tiff: unknown field with tag 317 (0x13d) encountered. I believe it as the icon for the terminal looks messed up. This doesn't impact my ability to continue living, but it would be nice if it were corrected. I have all of the latest Cygwin packages (on Win 2k) so I don't think I'm missing a decode/display component or anything. Thanks, Andy

screen redraw problem
Hi, I have an application which has some boxes in the window. The window itself is scrollable. When I scroll down - no problem, but when I scroll up the boxes turn into long vertical bars. This problem doesn't happen with Exceed, but on XFree86 (both Linux XFree86 and Cygwin-XFree) it does. Can anyone advise me whether this is a bug, or is there some setting I need to add? Let me know if you need anymore information. Thanks for any help. JS. _ Tired of 56k? Get a FREE BT Broadband connection http://www.msn.co.uk/specials/btbroadband
