RE: Pointer bug in multiwindow mode (native window manager)

If you encounter the problem another time, please send me your /tmp/XWin.log I also have the 'dissapearing mouse pointer'-phenomenon. It mostly happens after a while. This is my logoutput (with -logverbose 3): Looking at the code I see that the debug messages are disabled in the release version. So the -logverbose 3 will not produce useful output for the debugging. But if you find a reproducible way to let the cursor disappear then i can trace it with my debug build. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Start XTerm without DOS Window
Good morning list, I have got my CYWGIN setup very nicely in Windows XP now with lots of help from the list - however I have one last thing that I would like to try and sort out. I would apprecaite any ideas anyone has. I have configured my machine to start X on startup and ask me for my SSH key passphrase - this is all working well. I have created a shortcut to a batch file that will start up XTerm for me - however it leaves a DOS window for each XTerm that I have running and I would like for it to not do this. Something like hiding the DOS box (as with win-assh-askpass) but I have not found a way of doing it. My first thought was to start XTerm without a batch file - however when I do this i get the message saying that the system cannot find the cygwin.dll. Thanks for any help in advance, Russell

a batch file that will start up XTerm for me - however it leaves a DOS window for each XTerm that I have running and I would like for it to not do this. Look at the thread 6.7.0.0 XWin w/out -nodecoration running in background doesn't display anything I do this i get the message saying that the system cannot find the cygwin.dll. Maybe you need a nested call like in: E:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c -l 'run bash -c -l CYGWIN=server Xwin.exe -query murpel -fp tcp/murpel:7100 -dpi 100 -clipboard -notrayicon -once ' or add the cygwin dirs to your Windows path.

Drag Drop and Cut Paste SOLVED !
Thanks to help of Alexander now the drug and drop and cut paste mini-issue is solved. No problems in this direction. Now the next question ( you knew it, you knew it): What file in cygwin enables the access of normal users (i.e. not with root priviledges) to the console and following it to xconsole?

startx hangs on WinXP
I've installed the latest version of cygwin and cygwin/X. When I attempt to use startx in multiwindow mode, the X server hangs. If I use either of the following, I get the X server started, but I don't have a useful window manager. startx -- :0 XWin -clipboard I tried the identical installation steps on another XP machine, and all works fine. So, there is something strange about -multiwindow which is stopping me, And it appears specific to a particular XP machine. Any ideas on how to debug or isolate the problem?

Do you have a personal firewall or VPN software running? Try disabling these.

At least it will reveal if other clients and window manager can connect to the xserver. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

I believe that this problem has been fixed in the source code but has not made its way into an official build. If possible grab the sources and have a build. There is one known cause of this: XP's remote desktop feature. When you come back to your machine after having a remote desktop session the cursor will disappear. There could be others as well. hth
Re: startx hangs on WinXP
Yes, I've tried using twm, and it appears to work fine. I'm would prefer to use the multiwindow mode though, I'm just not a big fan of twm. I don't have a local firewall running on my machine. Any further ideas on how to isolate? Thanks, Jim On Thu, 3 Jun 2004, Jim Duda wrote: I've installed the latest version of cygwin and cygwin/X.
