The 2nd time you ran startxwin, It looks like Cygwin thinks you lack 3D acceleration. Try this command: $ startxwin -- -extension GLX -multiwindow Also, the "UnknownGroup" might be an issue that prevented you from writing the lock file to /tmp/. Someone else would know better than me though. -Mike -- 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/

Help porting the XLaunch feature to autoselect the display number
Hi, i was talking with Jon Turney about this on IRC. I am trying to port this feature of VcXsrv (and XMing also I think) to Cygwin XLaunch: https://sourceforge.net/p/vcxsrv/code/ci/460182676a960385dff96c1563f781213060f6fc/ Attached is my WIP patch. (I know it needs the comments updated for main.cc). There's a bug in main.cc that is causing this to happen when -1 is specified: http://imgur.com/Jv4tpip I am not very familiar with C or C++. I am hoping that someone could give me some advice. (I am much better at Java and bash.)

I can think of 2 possible issues/solutions: With XDMCP under VcXsrv or Cygwin XWin, you often need to use this argument to, usually when you have multiple (virtual) network adapters: -from 192.168.0.20 XDMCP involves a forward-confirmed reverse DNS lookup. So if you have incorrect DNS records like the following: PTR: 192.168.0.20 -> windows-pc A: windows-pc -> 192.168.178.20 Then this problem will happen. -Mike -- 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/

I was launching my main cygwin installation with the start menu shortcut (`C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`), but I was launching the X.org 1.16 cygwin installation by double-clicking C:\cygwin-xorg16\cygwin.bat. Thus I was running my X.org 1.16 cygwin installation with cmd.exe. When I launched my X.org 1.16 Cygwin installation by running `C:\cygwin-xorg16\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico -`, this issue was resolved.

Thank you very much, this is a very good answer.

Yes, I've observed this too. At work we run an old (but actively maintained) commercial Linux application written in Motif, and it requires core fonts to be installed on the Windows machines running Cygwin X11 or VcXsrv. > > [1] http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_X11/Fonts > > -- > Jon TURNEY > Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer Thanks again, -Mike DePaulo -- 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/
How do fonts work when you have no font packages installed?
I tried to send this email previously, but I think it did not go through because I was not subscribed to the list yet. Hi, I just installed cygwin64 with only the base packages, "xorg-server", and its dependencies installed. The FAQ (2014-04-29) states: 3.5. My favourite font has gone! The font Emacs uses is just boxes Only minimal fonts will be installed after the upgrade. However, on my system, /usr/share/fonts/ is empty. Yet I am able to XDMCP into a GNOME2 CentOS 6.5 machine and all the fonts show up fine with the handful of apps I tested. Can someone explain how text is being rendered? Is Cygwin Xwin using fonts from the Windows OS? Are the fonts being rendered client-side via XRender?
