I was having the exact same problem starting X under the newest Cygwin release. I also found this very frustrating as I have been running X for quite some time with no problems, then *boom* it suddenly broke. One option that worked for me was to downgrade to the previous version of the DLL

Hi I have some problems with the different versions of xwinclip. o xwinclip-Test05: Marking and pasting works in both directions from Windows to X and vice versa. But when marking in an X window the marked area disapppears as soon as I release the left mouse button, but at least it's copied

Hi Volker, Can you try the version I posted last month (there were several versions but the last post holds the best version). It solves the clearing of the selection. I am suprised that the test06 solved your problem, it didn't with me or other users. I use NEdit so I have the same issue

Uses for Cygwin/XFree86

2002-10-21 Thread Chris Plonski
I have used Cygwin/XFree86 for a couple of years now almost exclusively for XDMCP. I think it's one of the best products available for this. And now with the new rootless mode, Irix seems quite at home on my PC! However, every time I fire it up in stand-alone mode (non-XDMCP) via the

Chris, Well, I am one of the developers of Cygwin/XFree86 and until recently I used it almost exclusively for XDMCP, just as yourself. However, I have just started using emacs and xfig under Cygwin/XFree86 to typset some of my homeworks for class. xfig is really the best way to draw finite

Chris, By the way, if you have not been following the list for the past week, the new ``-rootless'' mode makes it much more convenient to work with a combination of Windows programs, X forwarded windows, and local X windows. For example, I can be using Xfig, emacs, and xterm (for running

Chris, There are 139 executables in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory of my installation. Granted, most of them are just X and XFree86 utilities and elementary components, but it's more than just XTerm and XEyes. I've compiled the NCAR graphics environment (version 4.2.3) under Cygwin/XFree86.

How to start rxvt via .xinitrc?

2002-10-21 Thread luke . kendall
I prefer rxvt over xterm, and it's great that it works with or without Cygwin/XFree86 running. But I just discovered that if I start rxvt like I do xterm from inside my .xinitrc, it starts up in non-X11 mode. It appears to depend on DISPLAY - if it's just .0 it runs without X11, if it's :0.0 it

Luke, Would that mail client be Sylpheed? I looked into it and generally liked what I saw, but the fact that it uses MH style message storage (one file per message!!) led me to decide I could not switch to it. That's far to much storage overhead for me to tolerate since I keep very large

I can't use startx anymore with the new cygwin package on my Windows 2000 machine. The problem goes away when I revert to the previous version. I totally uninstalled and reinstalled cygwin (deleting the entire folder) to make sure there was nothing non-standard about my setup. What happens is
