The uncommon valor of Yaakov Selkowitz
Yesterday, Yaakov released a new version of X for Cygwin, rectifying a long-standing problem in the Cygwin distribution. He was amazingly diligent in making sure that his upgrade did not break the Cygwin distribution. His new packages are laid out in a more sensical fashion and attempt to rigorously provide a seamless upgrade experience. It was impressive to see how hard he worked to make things work. In addition to that, I know that he knows full well that there will be lots of email from lots of users who used the old versions and now are confused by the modern installation. There will undoubtedly be bugs and there will undoubtedly be repeated reporting of the bugs to the cygwin lists. I know that he will be noting all of the problems and rectifying them where he can. I've seen him do this with the already impressive list of packages that he maintains and I'm confident that he will bring this level of committment to the new Xorg release. I really want to commend Yaakov for what he has done here. It is a relief to have the X packaging sorted out and to have active maintainers in the cygwin-xfree mailing list. We've been without active participation in this project for many years. (Although if history replays itself Yaakov will soon get a job offer from a X-on-Windows company) Yaakov deserves 10 gold stars for what he has done here but I don't think that's enough to thank him for his work. If you agree with me you might consider going to http://cygwin.com/donations.html and donating something to Yaakov in appreciation of all of his hard work both with Cygwin/X and for the cygwinports project*. I did that last week in anticipation of Xorg release.

xmkmf problem with latest X11R7.4
Hi When generating the Makefile with xmkmf from latest X11R7.4 for Xaw3d I get the following lines in the Makefile SOXAWREV = SharedXawRev DEPXAWLIB = XAWLIB = -lXaw and the following with the old release. SOXAWREV = 7.0 DEPXAWLIB = XAWLIB = -lXaw This leads to a cygXaw3d-SharedXawRev.dll after building but it should be cygXaw3d-7.dll like in the previous X11 version. Any idea what's wrong here ?

X11R7.4 is broke
Noticing Yahov's e-mail about the new X11 releases, I have
been attempting to follow Yakov's upgrade path instructions.
The instruction seem to imply that the following packages
must be installed.
However apart from the first package, all xorg-x11-* packages
are not to be found in the cygwin setup repository. It is tempting
to ask if anyone knows why, but I suspect only Yakov knows.
X-startup-scripts - xinit
xorg-x11-bin-dlls - libX11_6
xorg-x11-bin-lndir - lndir
xorg-x11-devel - libX11-devel
xorg-x11-f100 - font-bitstream-dpi100
xorg-x11-fcyr - font-misc-cyrillic
xorg-x11-fenc - font-encodings
xorg-x11-fnts - font-bitstream-dpi75
xorg-x11-fscl - font-bitstream-type1
xorg-x11-man-pages* - xorg-docs
xorg-x11-{nest,vfb,xwin} - xorg-server

The problem where the keyboard doesn't appear to work may be caused if you have XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB environment variable. The startxwin.bat batch file should have been updated to remove this by the upgrade, but if you have a different way of starting the server it may still be in your environment. If it is, remove it :-) I am quite keen on nedit for some reason or another, so I would prefer using nedit instead. I have not encountered anything like this prior to the latest update, but it is quite frustrating. After the first failure, I have reinstalled the entire X11 package successfully. I have also reinstalled nedit, but this did not sort out this problem. Obviously, something went wrong but I have no clue what happened. Running cygcheck -c returns no errors or incomplete installations. Any advice or suggestions ? -- 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/
Re: nedit gives X-error of failed request - also issues with (x)emacs
Hello, I am currently at home (where I have not yet updated for a few days). I usually start it by double-clicking the XWin starter followed by the cygwin both on the desktop (coming from the installation). My .bashrc looks fairly simply, as I do not set anything in particular (except some GMT and SeismicUnix). Nothing like these parameters you specify. I would nevertheless expect to have the latest setup, as this is something I do weekly. Again, no problems until this update this morning, neither at home nor at the office. I have noticed that the icon indeed has changed, as mentioned, suggesting it to have updated.

fonts broken in xemacs with latest x server update

I have installed all font* pkgs. I'm sorry I don't quite understand where these fonts came from. If it's something you've installed yourself, you'll need to reinstall them as the fonts have moved to /usr/share/fonts, as mentioned in Yaakov's announce mail [1] [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg0.html -- 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/

Solved problem starting new X Server
Hi. Just yesterday I installed the updated cygwin X server. When I retstarted the system, I was not able to type characters in my shell. I found the problem - I had previously made a copy of the startxwin.bat file and modified it to start rxvt instead of xterm. The startxwin.bat file has been updated now, so you should update your copy of startxwin.bat with these changes also. There might be a better way to do this, but at the moment I am a happy camper ;-) Tallak -- 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/
