xterm line wrapping
Hi All, I wonder if anyone else sees this. When I open an xterm, it all works fine with the default dimensions. But if I resize the terminal, line wrapping stops working until I return to the initial size. This was present in the old xterm, and persists after upgrading to the new one. Interestingly, if I have a file opened in vi when resizing, vi works quite well and wraps the lines correctly according to the terminal size. But when I get out of vi I get the same problems back :-( Thanks, Gustavo. -- 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/

So, I'm very curious to learn about this newer XWin version. If you don't mind, I'd like to ask a couple of questions: 1. Is this package available through setup.exe? Or do we need to recompile it for Cygwin ourselves? 2. What do you mean by "don't expect great performance."? Is it a GLX issue or something related to this particular version of XWin, as compared to the older ones? Thanks a lot!

Re: Xterm, rxvt, mrxvt, etc....
Hi all, Thanks a lot to Thomas Dickey, Thorsten Kampe and Charles Wilson for taking time to answer my question. I'm very sorry if it lead to some argument, that has never been my intent. All I wanted to know was something like a side-by-side points, such as "I use *1 because it has this feature that *2 doesn't... " etc., really from the used point of view.

Xterm, rxvt, mrxvt, etc....
Hi all, I just wonder what is the current status of terminals for X in Cygwin. I currently use xterm, but I've seen people using rxvt and mrxvt. Also, I heard that rxvt is actually currently supported in Cygwin, something that xterm apparently isn't. Is anybody using rxvt, mrxvt or something else that would care to share opinion/information/clues here?

Re: update cygwin and now X wont start!
On 11/2/06, Rafael Tapia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Everyone, Today I decided to update my cygwin (probably had not done it in about 3 months) but now it just crashes on me when I try to start X. I did check out mailing list archives and google but no dice. I can't seem to get it to work again. I am trying to run this on WinXP SP2,on an IBM ThinkPad. Again I want to make it clear that it was working this morning. I did not change any network/firewall settings. I do have a firewall up but it was working fine before the update. Here is the message I am getting: [[ snip ]] Hi Rafael I had exactly the same error. In my case, it had exactly *nothing* to do with firewall, or Windows problems. It happened because I **used** X in the administrator account. (I work on a limited-rights user account, and use the adm account only for install/updates) When launch X as adm, the administrator takes ownership of the /tmp/.X11-unix/ directory, which I believe X needs to access to run. The solution was just to login as adm and change the ownership: adm$ cd /tmp adm$ chown __your_user_name__ .X11-unix After that, X works well *for that user*, as long as you don't try to use X as adm again. (BTW, this is an old issue with Cygwin/X. As a rule of thumb, one should avoid running it as administrator, unless that's how you want to keep using it... Unfortunately, Cygwin/X does not have a mainteiner now, so we don't know how long this "unducumented feature" will still be around.)

"huge" font as default?
Hi, I work with Cygwin/X in a laptop using 1600x1200 pixels. As a result, the Xtern fonts appear really small, and I always change to the "huge" setting (CTRL+right-click, "HUGE"). I tried changing the default font, but whenever I change font size, for example, the default font comes back. (I imagine not all fonts have all sizes...) So, my question is just: Is there any way to open the Xterm already with the 'huge" font, by default?
