french canadien keyboard layout not detected
Hi, I have a french canadien keyboard layout and it is not automatically found on xwin startup. That layout seems to exists in the distribution cause if I launch xwin with "-xkblayout ca_enhanced" everything works fine. /tmp/XWin.log says: (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "1009" (1009) (EE) Keyboardlayout "Français (Canada)" (1009) is unknown (++) XKB: layout: "ca_enhanced" (EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap Thanks for adding that layout to the list. :-) -- Martin Hamel [EMAIL PROTECTED] (418)261- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

(is your question really about a problem starting XWin?) 2. How do you "launch" X applications? (there shouldn't be any sh.exe started if you run something else) 3. Does disabling McAfee helps? -- René Berber -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

It was all ok before. The problem happened since yesterday. It probably has to do with the installation of the McAfee Privacy Service module. This module might have changed some settings on my computer. The symptom is that you can launch X applications, but nothing pops out. There are one or more instances of sh.exe running with (nearly) 100% CPU usage. Once you kill all sh.exe processes, the xterms will show up on your desktop. But anything that relies on sh.exe will not be able to run. For example, you can try SSH with X11 forwarding enabled. But it will invoke sh.exe and therefore won't get connected until you kill the newly invoked sh.exe. Unfortunately, the X11 tunnel will be broken after sh.exe is killed. I hope I have described clearly. Anybody has a solution?

cygwin gnome-terminal pty error
Hello, I've installed gnome-terminal from the sunsite.dk/projects/cygwinports site with no errors. Unfortunately, when I run gnome-terminal from an xterm I get the error below: - $ gnome-terminal ** (gnome-terminal:3608): WARNING **: Error setting PTY size: Invalid argument. ** (gnome-terminal:3608): WARNING **: Error reading PTY size, using defaults: Invalid argument. ** (gnome-terminal:3608): WARNING **: Error reading PTY size, using defaults: Invalid argument. ** (gnome-terminal:3608): WARNING **: Error setting PTY size: Invalid argument. ** (gnome-terminal:3608): WARNING **: Error reading PTY size, using defaults: Invalid argument. I do get a gnome-terminal window with no shell prompt (white background). The menu seems to work fine as I can bring the "edit current profile" dialog. Anybody using gnome-terminal in cygwin or seen this error? Perhaps I have a package incompatibility? I initially installed from mirrors.kernel.org and then added the sunsite.dk, selected gnome-terminal only, and it automatically selected a bunch of dependencies. So far google haven't revealed any clues. Can anybody provide me with some hints or clues that would help solve this problem? Any help is appreciated, thanks. -- Luis P Caamano Atlanta, GA USA -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
