That would be because the configure script didn't find the libraries - I assume, since the configure script normally tries to check for those. It looks for xft-config (the script that tells how to compile/link). Perhaps that has been renamed? I think I had another xft-config in /opt/... without actually having libXft and friends in the path that that script pointed to. I have uninstalled those test packages now (which were modifying the PATH through profile.d scripts) and the rebuild of 185-4 seemed to find libXft and friends just fine. Harold
Re: XTerm won't start on Win2000
I've fixed the problem by totally removing Cygwin and re-installing from scratch. So I guess there was some sort of problem with my previous download. I still have no idea what though. I'm a newbie to Cygwin X, and I can't open an XTerm. I've tried various options including startxwin.bat, startxwin.sh (from a Cygwin bash shell) and manually typing in commands from startxwin.sh. When running the bat file in dos, I get nothing - no error messages and no xterms. From bash, I still don't get xterms but I do get an error message: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 I've tried reinstalling the whole of my Cygwin dist, just Xfree, fonts and zlib with absolutely no effect. I'm not using ssh and I have a colleague who should have an identical PC build who uses Xfree fine, so I know it's possible. There is no X log being created in /tmp. In fact, /tmp is empty. Having read other posts, I find this distinctly worrying. I'm running Win2000Professional and I've checked for suppressed pop-ups about missing dlls. There aren't any. Sorry not to provide more information but this is all I have! Any clues for where to find more logs, or (even better) a solution to my predicament would be greatly appreciated. Susannah

Re: xterm stops drawing
Chad, Try the 'test' package XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-48. You get this by running Cygwin's setup.exe again (no need for reinstall) and manually select the 4.3.0-48 version by clicking on the Keep value several times until it says 4.3.0-48. Be aware that you have to do this *everytime* you run Cygwin's setup.exe, or else it will downgrade you to 4.3.0-47 again.

Thanks! I'm using it in default mode (no multiwindow). I have one problem: I launch xterm on my PC, then rlogin (or ssh -X) to a SUN (default shell on the SUN is csh). Then I cannot delete characters that I type on the command line: backspace gets displayed as ^H delete gets displayed as ~[[3 I guess this can be solved somehow with stty, but 1) I don't know how and 2) I thought this shouldn't happen when you come from an xterm as it is supported by SUN termcap obviously (I'm not surprised when this happens when login in via a cygwin terminal). [the latter point is why I'm posting this here] Note that backspace does work when I launch a bash shell, but fine. Note also that when then launching xterm on the SUN (displaying on my PC) the Delete key works (to delete the previous character), while backspace still displays as ^H. Here is the output of stty -a I got from the SUN (with xterm on the PC). speed 9600 baud; rows = 46 columns = 80; ypixels = 694 xpixels = 739 intr = ^c; quit = ^|; erase = ^?; kill = ^u; eof = ^d; eol = undef; eol2 = undef; swtch = undef; start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y; rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v; -parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb -hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -parext -ignbrk brkint ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ixon -ixany -ixoff imaxbel isig icanon -xcase echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -tostop echoctl -echoprt echoke -defecho -flusho -pendin iexten opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tabs stty -a with xterm on the SUN looks very similar.

I wouldn't mind if anybody told me who sets all this and where. It's an eternal problem with Unix systems. PPS: please reply to myself and to the list if you don't mind.
RE: xterm -ls -e
This is because you are actually using two shells. The first is what is run by xterm and honors the -ls. The second is run from the first and does not. What should work is putting a -l after the bash you are running as the command (ie. run xterm -ls -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l). I hope that helps. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Kris Thielemans Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 11:16 AM To: Cygwin-Xfree Cc: Kris Thielemans Subject: xterm -ls -e Hi I'm using almost the default startxwin.bat with the following: start XWin -emulate3buttons run xterm -ls -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash Funnily enough, the xterm I get did NOT run bash as a login shell (the -ls option), as my ~/.bash_profile hasn't been read (for instance, the path is not complete). When I delete the -e stuff, i.e. use run xterm -ls -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black everything is alright. (This only works because bash is the default shell on cygwin).

How fast is your machine (speed may play a factor in whether or not this problem shows up).

Sorry for the delayed response, I had to reinstall my entire Linux system because of a vain and ultimately disastrous attempt to get rid of package conflicts (unrelated to XFree86). I'm up and running again and tried your suggestion. First of all, your suspicion was right. I did use multiwindow and the window manager clash was causing the grief. Not using -multiwindow works, but somehow the KDE kicker sits too low on the screen so that part of it is off-screen. Somewhere there must be a bug in the geometry calculations. When using -multiwindow and turning off the KDE window manager the result is still unusable. Interestingly, the kicker starts up at the same wrong position as described above. But at some point during startup it loses its title bar and wanders upwards to the correct position. Finally when the KDE desktop appears the kicker disappears or gets hidden. Also reaction to mouse events is strange, for example right clicks on the desktop bring up the context menu as expected, but a following left click to make it disappear again give the focus to a comletely unrelated windows application. The next left click brings the focus back to the KDE desktop. Clicking on the home icon in the top left corner of the KDE desktop brings up Konqueror, but this crashes XWin. XWin appears to have some problems with multiwindow operation. Anyway, it is usable without -multiwindow. Cheers Stefan __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Re: xterm shows no color for color fonts
Thanks for your reply. I tried rxvt, and it shows colors just as I want. (I'm using emacs21.2 delivered by cygwin.) Something wrong with xterm? By the way, I'm using Win2000.

Re: xterm Page-Up -- does it work?
No. And also, page up seems to work on xterms running on remote sun boxes. I access the remote twm desktop from the same laptop, using VNC. Same PageUp keys. Exact same Xresources and .twmrc . Go figure. Fred P.S. I gather that it works for you? Yes, though I hit shift-pgup. Works the same in a regular xterm or a remote gnome-terminal, etc. Cary Actually..Shift-PageUp works for me too!

Now I got all the packages for XFree (XFree86 4.2.0(165) - as appears to be the latest in the setup screens) using the cygwin setup program and tried WindowMaker/fvwm/ION window managers. In my previous attempt with XFree I had got all the packages by hand and installed them one by one. In window managers that I tried, although they start without errors, when I try to get an xterm it just flashes by the screen and vanishes.

RE: xterm fails to start with setuid failed: Permission denied
Let me guess - you have logged in as a domain user, but your home directory is /home/Administrator (or whatever the local administrator is named in dutch...) It seems that cygwin is capable of seeing all domain users and when running 'whoami' returns 'Administrator' instead of the domain user. I would guess that you will have to create an account in /etc/passwd manually - the question is just how... - but I will guess that you will have to find the SID of you domain user and add it to /etc/passwd.

RE: xterm fails to start with setuid failed: Permission denied
Let me guess - you have logged in as a domain user, but your home directory is /home/Administrator (or whatever the local administrator is named in dutch...) Thank god I'm using an English NT installation :)) Anyway - argh ! It works after all - after running the mkpasswd and mkgroup, I hadn't exited my login shell. When I did and restarted it, I landed into /home/fputte instead of /home/Administrator and now it works.

RE: xterm fails to start with setuid failed: Permission denied
Hi, I'm getting the same for xterm. My Cygwin / XFree86 installation from about three months ago was running fine, but when I upgraded it yesterday I get the same problem, at least when running as a domain user. Xterm works when I run it as the local administrator though. I also have problems with xcalc (window is filled with the 0 button), and xedit (displays the message Error: Shell widget fileMenu has zero width and/or height and doesn't start). This is both as domain user and local administrator This happens with both XFree86 and StaNet X-Win32 as X servers. Is there a problem with the client utilities build? This is caused by a stricter uid/gid handling in cygwin 1.3.11. I've stumbled about it and Corinna Vinschen told me to make sure, that for all user, who could own files, which you like to access has to be a corresponding entry in /etc/passwd. See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg01198.html for more informations.

See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-06/msg01198.html for more informations. Thanks: after fixing my /etc/passwd, it works for me. BUT, I don't use ntsec, which is why I had never read the docs about it too closely. This stricter uid/gid stuff affects non-ntsec use as well: perhaps the user manual could be updated to reflect this? Regards, Peter. P.S. xcalc and xedit are still broken. Maybe a Motif/Lesstif problem? Anyway, these are not the most important of utilities.
Re: xterm title not shown
I wrote in [EMAIL PROTECTED] in gmane.os.cygwin on Wed, 15 May 2002 21:41:14 +0100: The default /etc/profile sets up PS1 with the xterm escape sequences to put the username and current directory into the title. Either edit /etc/profile or override it in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_rc. Sorry. That should have been ~/.bashrc, of course. -- Sam Edge
RE: xterm ofer ssh to my local xfree/xwin on windows 2000 with umlaut-problems
Hi, take a look at http://www-usercgi.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/index.php3?jump=xfree#modmap best regards, Darko But for example, I open in the ssh-bash an xterm and the xterm opens on my localy xfree/cygwin, I have a different language in the xterm-bash. I cannot user the äöü etc. When I make this with a booted linux on my side instead of windows and make a ssh and the x11-forwarding to my local linux-xfree, I have the german umlauts etc. How Do I get this running under cygwin?
Re: xterm problems
I set the TERM variable to vt100 and it works. But it gets changed to vt102
everytime i restart cygwin. Where am I supposed to change it so it's
permanent?

This is related to the terminal definitions.
Immediate workaround:
run:
TERM=vt100
(or 'set term=vt100' on tcsh)
Gives you almost all of what you need, and is defined just about anywhere.
What is your current value of TERM? ('echo $TERM')
BTW:
The terminfo definition file of xterm is /usr/share/termonfo/x/xterm
