Re: base-files 3.4-2: Permission denied!

Every user (or only Administrator?) should remove manually .X11-unix before the disconnetion from the machine. In this case there is not permission denied for the simple user. angelo. Sorry, I don't use startxwin.bat, I can't help with that. 3.4-2 simply 2/dev/null's the error, perhaps startxwin.bat should too? J. PS, *please* don't reply to everyone just the list :)

I don't know the driver for this kind so you're quite on your own there. what is the mouse driver that XWin uses? XWin uses no special mouse driver. Perhaps I could use the microsoft default one and make it work. Right now it is using the IBM ThinkPad driver, which could be the problem. I found this on the xcygwin site: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-trackpoint which says, to add a rp4table.dat or a tp4scrol.dat with some entries. Actually it say to modify the file. I'm not sure if adding just these lines is enough or if some important parts are missing (like the header for the Pass 0 rules section) I did this and rebooted and still have the problem. So, is there any other way to see the history (other than to pipe it to a file and read it through vim) using xterm? shift-pageup and shift-pagedown. Or you can use the scrollbar on the left side (right click scrolls up, left click scrolls down, middle click sets cursor) bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
Re: using xfree86 4.4.0 from remote host
On Thu, 19 May 2005, nirus wrote: I am currently trying to use XFree86/cygwin 4.4.0. Maybe I would have been more successful with cygwin stuff? Huh? What XFree86 4.4.0 version? Cygwin/X has switched to X.org a long time ago. The problem is that I can't use the X server from the remote host. I have tried xhost +remoteIP and xhost + on the windows machine running xfree86. Both succeeded, but the remote says the same thing as before - Xlib: connection to 10.0.5.1:0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified starting X and running xhost as first x client has no usable effect since X resets right after xhost finished and forgets the xhost settings. You have to open at least one local x client (like xterm) an keep that open until you've connected. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html For remote usage I suggest using ssh with X11Forwarding instead of telnet and insecure xhost. This has to do with your SSH client supporting X11 Forwarding. The companies that I do work for quite often use a program called 'Erics Telnet' which works just fine until you try and use it with Cygwin/X then it returns the error displayed above. However as soon as I use Putty...with X11 forwarding set correctly...it works like a gem bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

Popups popping through windows using built-in rootless WM
Hello all, I have noticed that pop-up help balloons exhibit one or two problems (depending on the program) when using the built-in rootless WM: Some balloons to not go to the background when a Windows window is brought to the front. Other balloons actually come to the front when the mouse is over the object that creates them *through a Windows window*. I should note that the applications I am seeing this with are running on Solaris - I don't have any native Cygwin apps that have pop-up balloons. Regards, Chris Nappi

Is the problem reproducable with common windowing toolkits like KDE, GTK, Xt or Motif? Otherwise it will be hard to determine how to fix this. The programs I am using are Debussy (a silicon design tool which appears to be C/Motif?) and a proprietary Perl/TK program. Luckily I found that the balloon.pl demo for Tk located in: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8/cygwin/Tk/demos/widtrib exhibits the problem. Launch that demo, look at where the Menu button button is, put IE(or whatever) in front and place the mouse over where the menu button is. You should get a popup saying Press and hold this button I verified this works when the balloon.pl script is run under Cygwin or Solaris. Thanks! Chris Nappi
