Re: How do I start WM?
Try this: Copy the shortcut as mentioned earlier in the email trail. set the Target to be: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startx -- /usr/bin/Xwin.exe Note the double quotes around the last argument. Without them, Xwin.exe doesn't start on my box. startx also would not invoke Xwin.exe on my box unless I explicitly called it ala above Commmand line invocation- $ startx -- /usr/bin/Xwin.exe perhaps it's not reading the symlink properly (the default server is set as /usr/bin/X, which is symlinked to /usr/bin/Xwin.exe) -- nope, explicitly setting default server to /usr/bin/Xwin.exe doesn't start it either via a plain startx on the command line. setting startx to echo the eval of the invocation yields xinit /home/rthompso/.xinitrc -- /home/rthompso/.xserverrc :0 -auth '/home/rthompso/.serverauth.5912' aha -- my .xserverrc has: #exec X -screen 0 1024x768x16 -engine 4 -ac -nowinkill -noreset -emulate3buttons 100 uncomment it and try again from command line a plain startx... xserver starts up in it's own window with my .xinitrc programs running. shut it down, and try my copy of the shortcut again, starts again. Now that we've established that mine wasn't starting due to the invalid .xserverrc, reset the shortcut target to C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startx and try it - starts again Pasted below is my .xinitrc (you said you don't have one in $HOME), you can try this one in your $HOME if you want.

So my second query is how can i specify my lib include directory in cygwin through windows i.e. with which option -ldirectory or what. when i speciifed -ldirectory d:\cygwin\lib it says that it can not find the path so what is equivalent in terms of /usr/lib ..or like .what those interested my makefiles ..here is partial but only useful section .. $makefile CC = gcc #SunOS lines below. #LIB_DIR = -L/usr/lib/X11R5 #LIB = -static -lX11 -lm #X11_INCLUDE = -I/usr/include # On many non-Solaris machines, use LIB_DIR = -L/usr/lib/X11R5 LIB_DIR = -L/usr/openwin/lib # Sometimes get errors under Solaris if you don't use the -R option # to (I think) put info about where the shared object libraries are # right into the binary.

Also about your question 2, as someone else recommended, you should consider running either startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh. But doing that, whatever you wrote in ~/.xinitrc would no longer be effective because either of these startup files would not call .xinitrc . I prefer the bat file because I would need to first start cygwin bash in a win/xp cmd window to allow me to run the sh file, thereby leaving a win/xp cmd window around annoying you more than the X icon would. this is not an issue -- run setup and download rxvt configure a shortcut with rxvt exec'ing a bash shell ( passing whatever params to rxvt and bash that you wish) Target: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn lucida console-13-bold -e c:\cygwin\bin\bash use the shortcut to open a bash shell prompt and enter $ nohup startxwin.sh you should then be able to exit the rxvt shell window w/o X dying.

I think that is his intent. Microsoft(which you know): copy is by selecting then ctrl-c or menu-copy. paste is by ctrl-v or menu-paste. Motif cygwin: Selecting text would spontaneously (some people might prefer the term, automatically) copy into clipboard. Paste is by middle button click. Thanks for explain this. It's embarrassing, but I wasn't aware of the different behaviour :-[ e.g. copying from MS to Cyg: copy text from MS win, move cursor to cyg window and press/release middle button. Conversely from cyg to MS: select text at cyg win, move mouse to MS win and ctrl-v. Voila! However, if you don't have a middle mouse button, or you had mapped that button to do something else, you could use -emulate3buttons option which would require you to press both mouse buttons together to emulate the middle button. I do have the scroll wheel button assigned to double click, and I would like to keep that setting, which raises the question of where exactly I would have to specify -emulate3buttons (is it simply another command line option after startx?) and what you mean by both mouse buttons - do you mean left and right?

Does the same happen if you run ssh -x (note the lowercase) without DISPLAY= and -Y? If so, you may indeed have a general ssh issue -- try to get a working prompt first, and then set up X forwarding. ssh -x (lowercase) works just fine. I enter my password and immediately receive a command prompt. One more place to check is your startup scripts on the remote machine. Do they change the value of DISPLAY (they shouldn't -- it should be left at whatever ssh sets it to)? Do they try to launch an X client if DISPLAY is set (that could be what's causing the apparent hang)? Igor [*] Well, there are more configuration options to check, but the two things above are required regardless of the configuration. I don't see any scripts that would change the DISPLAY variable on the server. Also, if I ssh directly in to the server, echo $DISPLAY shows that the variable is empty. Should this have a value? If I kill the shell process on my windows machine, the xterm throws an error: Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding. and then logs me in to the server with a text command prompt. I'm not sure if this is important or anything.

Re: Starting Xwin - Shell Window Remains
As info I start X by using a shortcut to open an rxvt window running bash ( see below for contents of shortcut scripts ). (If you do not have rxvt, use setup to get it, it is unbelievable to me that with billions of dollars MS cannot include a decent command prompt.) Then, in the rxvt window I type startxscript After this I can exit the rxvt window used to start X with no problems. I have a desktop shortcut that has a target of: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sl 2500 -geometry 80x25 -sb -fg grey -bg grey15 -fn lucida console-13-bold -e c:/cygwin/bin/bash --rcfile /home/rthompso/.bashrc and a start in value of: c:\cygwin\home\rthompso $HOME/bin is part of my path.

RE: Initial run of BASH doesn't initialize home directory
Tom Smith wrote: With all due respect, Igor, I think you missed my point. The point is this: 1) I ran the Cygwin setup.exe and the Cygwin/X setup.exe (a distinction made by the cygwin.com web site itself) on the same computer. It's the same installer, just linked to different pages with different text. 2) The Cygwin/X installation gave me grief as mentioned in my initial post. 3) The Cygwin installation gave me no grief and worked perfectly. Run the installer once selecting all the non-X stuff you want. Setup your environment like you want it. Run the installer again, selecting all the X stuff you want. Therefore, my conclusion was that there's something different between the two installation routines--is this not a rational conclusion? I apologize for not including the output of cygcheck -svr. I no longer have Cygwin/X installed so this will have to wait until tomorrow. Based on what I mentioned above, is this still something I should take to the Cygwin list? reid
RE: Problems running OpenGL program on Cygwin
Larry Griffith wrote: Dear List Members, I'm a newbie to Cygwin who is trying to learn how to run an OpenGL program under Cygwin-X. I used a standard program written by SGI (called cube.c) that I know runs correctly under Solaris 9, using gcc and the Mesa library, so I don't think the program itself is the problem. I ran xinit to get a bash shell, cd'd to the proper directory, and ran the following command: gcc cube.c -o cube -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lX11 which compiles correctly (thanks to some assistance from your mailing list archives). When I type ./cube I get a black rectangle with no picture (and in particular no cube) and no error messages. I can click the shell window and press CTRL-C to get out. I've checked the FAQ, the user guide, and the archives (which did give me some help), but I can't get past this point. As already mentioned, I know this program works on Solaris/gcc/Mesa, so I'm wondering if there is a problem with my cygwin installation, libraries, or commands. I'm running the latest version of the Cygwin system as far as I can tell on Windows XP SP2. as info - i dl'd cube.c, pasted your compile command above, called ./cube -- all worked as expected. do you have any cygwin precompiled x binaries available ( xclock??? ), if you call xclock, what is the result? reid

There is nothing in the FAQ that deals with this problem. However, perusing the Cygwin/X installation instructions, under the section on logging on to remote clients, I noticed the suggested ssh command: ssh -Y -l username hostdomain. I checked to see what our PC guy had set me up with under the alias he had given me: ssh -X -l myname $1. Changing -X to -Y made all the difference and solved the problem. Returning to the FAQ, there is a question X forwarding does not work does not work with OpenSSH under Cygwin in which the answer I needed is embedded as an afterthought. Suggestion: Add to the FAQ a question specifically mentioning the symptoms I described. What browser are you using -- when i clicked on the link provided, my browser opened up with the following at the top of the browser page(i.e. my browser opened with the page scrolled to the correct location): 5. Remote connections 5.1. X11Forwarding does not work with OpenSSH under Cygwin A1: OpenSSH 3.8 enables untrusted X11 forwarding by default when connecting to an ssh server that supports untrusted X11Forwarding. Most ssh servers for GNU/Linux are versions of OpenSSH that do support untrusted X11Forwarding, so using OpenSSH 3.8 from Cygwin will result in a connection that uses untrusted X11Forwarding by default. You will quickly notice that this is the case if most of your X applications are now killed when you try to copy and paste or if xdpyinfo returns only a fraction of the supported extensions that it does if run locally. It is easiest to just override untrusted X11Forwarding by passing -Y to ssh in place of -X. The -Y does the same thing as -X, but it enables trusted X11Forwarding for the current connection. Which is exactly the answer you were looking for reid
