quick cygwin X question
Hi If I install xorg-server and xinit and an X window appears when I do startxwin that I can use to launch to a terminal, should that be all I need to install besides all of the xfce/lxde packages? For instance, I do $startxwin and the X window pops up. I then type in startlxde into the term and the autostart program appears in the same terminal. I had lynx browser selected as an autostart program for lxde. I don't know why lynx appears in the same window as the terminal. I can't get to a desktop in either xfce and lxde. I guess my question is just in general. I thought all I had to do is get x window working and then the lxde and xfce programs would take care of the rest. Maybe I am missing a requirement? thanks -- 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/

'terminator -m' works correctly for me with that snapshot. It does for me too, but if I start terminator with no command line arguments (directly after I start x server), then maximize the window using the windows button, or by double clicking the title bar, I get a window that's not fully maximized. -- 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: XWin.exe crashes on Windows restart

That does not affect normal operations. This is expected when cygserver (which provides SySV shared memory) is not running, as the X server tests to see if shared memory is available before using it, by checking if shmget() causes a SIGSYS... -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- 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/
