X server starts, xterm won't
I've installed a vanilla version of cygwin/xfree on a Windows2k Pro computer. No matter how I start X (startx, startxwin.sh, startxwin.bat, or XWin itself), twm loads but nothing else will. twm's desktop appears, but I can't use the menu or launch an xterm. I've checked /etc/XWin.log and found no errors. I've got no idea what the problem could be. DISPLAY is set properly and I'm not getting any errors. X programs just refuse to display (their processes are outputted in ps). Any ideas? Alex Chin
Re: Multiwindow mode
Kensuke, Sounds good. The last patch description didn't exactly inspire any confidence that the problem had been solved :) Harold Kensuke Matsuzaki wrote: Hi, This patch solve a problem another way. X Server move/resize window. instead of window manager. Perhaps this patch is smarter than a previous patch. Kensuke Matsuzaki
xkbmap option not working with XDMCP
Hi all: I have tried to run XWin in XDMCP mode using the -query option. Due to I don't have a US keyboard, I compiled the spanish map using the xkbcomp utility and then I left the resulting file (es.xkm) at the /tmp directory. But when I run XWin using +kb -xkbmap es options, the server doesn't read this map file (error opening.. reverting to defaults...), and even, the file disappears in the /tmp directory. It seems that XWin deletes the es.xkm file! If somebody knows what I am doing wrong, please help me. Thanks in advance, Felix Díaz de Rada
Rootless Mode
I have tried the server test series with rootless mode. I find it very usefull. Here is my dumb opinion. We need a Native Microsft-Cygwin Window Manager designed to work in rootless mode. Also FYI. The Window Maker port isnt working with the most recent builds Of the cygwin libraries.
Re: Rootless Mode
Stephen, Kensuke Matsuzaki is working on the Windows-based window manager. If Window Maker is broke, then someone else is gonna have to fix it. I released a few packages with the intention that others would take them over, but no one has. So, if Window Maker is broke, then I will have to pull the package from distribution. Any takers?

RE: Rootless Mode
FYI I have been experimenting with exceed window manager and cygwin Integration/synergy. It is interesting to note that I can execute the windowmaker cygwin-port and get it To work natively with the exceed X-window server. The clip , the dock , ect all Pop-up as icons on my windows desktop. Now if this capability could be further refined to work with cygwin in rootless mode, In a manner that is complimentry/compatible/integrated and non-disruptive with the Normal windows desktop and/or other windows, and maybee even try to integrate it With the task/bar .. Then we would have a very powerfull integration technology. Of course unfortunately the window-maker port is currently broken so it is hard To do further experiments -Original Message- From: Bovy, Stephen Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 4:07 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Rootless Mode I have tried the server test series with rootless mode.

Re: Rootless Mode
Stephen, What was that all about? We are working on a Windows-based window manager. Need I say that again? If Window Maker is broken, then use one of twm, mwm (lesstif package), openbox, etc. Harold Bovy, Stephen wrote: FYI I have been experimenting with exceed window manager and cygwin Integration/synergy.

Re: Rootless Mode
I have Window Maker working fine with the recent built. (including rootless) I don't know what stephen is refering to. Yadin.

Re: Rootless Mode
BTW, you have to add to the top of startxwin.bat the line set HOME=XXX where XXX is your home directory, otherwise wmaker is trying to use the variable HOME from windows environment c:\Documents and settings\... which does not work.

Re: Rootless Mode
[snip] Of course unfortunately the window-maker port is currently broken so it is hard To do further experiments Don't know about test builds, but with the latest build WindowMaker works correctly: I use it every day in rootless mode for my job with my Win2K machine. Ciao, Danilo Turina
Window Maker received signal 11
I just installed the latest version of XFree86 and made 2 changes to the startxwin.bat file to access our servers. When I open this file I get the message: Fatal error Window maker received signal 11. This fatal error occurred probably due to a bug. Please fill the included BUGFORM and report it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you know of a fix to this? Thank you, Patrick H.
