There's a bug in main.cc that is causing this to happen when -1 is specified: http://imgur.com/Jv4tpip Protip: Ctrl-c works on MessageBox dialogs to copy their contents. Thanks for looking into this. Unfortunately, this turns into a non-trivial amount of work. The upstream design is that -displayfd introduces a file descriptor that the child X server process inherits, to which it will write it's display number. (This fd will be one end of a pipe which the parent process has opened, and it will read the display number from the fd for the other end) In the VcXsrv implementation, instead a handle to some shared memory is used to pass the display number back. (I guess a Windows anonymous pipe would have worked just as well, but possibly this is simpler to implement). So, you will need to re-write the changes to main.cc to create a pipe (using pipe()), pass the write fd using -displayfd, and read the diplay number from the read fd. Even after you've done this, I'm not 100% sure that cygwin pipes are successfully propagated across CreateProcess(). I have a vague memory this is where I got stuck when I last looked at this, but I'm not sure I'd noticed that CreateProcess() is being invoked with bInheritHandles=FALSE. I found my old (non-working) attempt at implementing this [1], which might help you a bit.

RE: Need help to replicate old behavior of my X setup scripts with latest Xfree86 update
-Original Message- From: Marco Atzeri [mailto:marco.atz...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2014 2:17 PM To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Re: Need help to replicate old behavior of my X setup scripts with latest Xfree86 update try putting sleep inf in .startxwinrc It should simulate the old behaviour Regards Thanks for the suggestion. I actually figured out something similar. I launched fbpanel instead with this command: exec /usr/bin/fbpanel -p multiwindow I also discovered that the X server is not always opened on display 0, which I wanted to force, so I did some digging and found I can do that by creating a ~/.xserverrc file to change how it launches the X server. I put this in the file instead: /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -nolisten tcp I don’t need external connections as I’m primarily using the X server for local programs or with ssh -Y, so the nolisten switch works fine for me. I also didn’t want xterm to start up at launch, so I had to create an empty ~/.Xclients file. Finally, I had change my startup script so that, if the X server isn't running yet, it would launch startxwin in the background and loop until it sees the fbpanel process in the process list, or time out (after 30 seconds). If it sees the process start, it sets up my configurations as before. It works, albeit not as cleanly as before. I get the extra icon in my taskbar for fbpanel since it’s running, and I see the job number get echoed out to the terminal when it backgrounds the startxwin script. It also takes longer to start since I’m launching fbpanel on top of the server, though I suppose putting the sleep command would alleviate some of that. I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Need help to replicate old behavior of my X setup scripts with latest Xfree86 update
Up until the recent update to xinit-1.3.4-1 which overhauled X session
handling, I had my session set up nicely for my purposes. With the
following code in my .zshrc and an empty .startxwinrc, when I launched
Cygwin, Xwin.exe would start on display :0.0, it would set the
$DISPLAY variable, and automatically kill the X server when I exited
that terminal. I like mintty so this let me use that as my shell.
.zshrc contents:
=
startxwin xserver.log
x_start_success=$?
if [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
export DISPLAY=:0.0
pid=`ps | grep '/usr/bin/XWin' | awk '{print $1;}'`
alias kill_xwin=kill $pid
if [[ $TMUX == ]] [[ $x_start_success == 0 ]]; then
alias exit=kill $pid ; \exit
fi
fi
The aforementioned update disrupted this flow so I’m wondering if
anyone has any suggestions on how I can regain a similar sort of
functionality. I don’t like using xterm in Cygwin and would like to
keep using mintty as my main terminal interface. Before, when I ran
startxwin it would launch the server and quit with an error status as
to whether it was successful or not, leaving Xwin.exe running in the
background. Now it stays in the foreground unless I specify otherwise.
However, my startup script relied on the assumption that Xwin.exe was
running by the time startxwinrc finished, which I cannot guarantee if
I run it as a background task. It also used the exit status where if
it was nonzero, I could assume that I already had X running and it
wouldn’t kill the server if I typed ‘exit’ to exit any subsequent
mintty windows I launched with Alt+F2.
I've tried various configurations and read through the man pages but
haven’t come up with an elegant solution other than the idea of
looping on the ‘ps’ until I see Xwin.exe in the list. Is there a
better way?
Sincerely,
Benjamin Richards

try putting sleep inf in .startxwinrc
It should simulate the old behaviour

Re: how do I get help if I can't figure out how to do anything?
Have you looked at the troubleshooting documentation? You know you can run with verbose and log options. My guess is that the reason the display can't be opened is made reasonable clear in your log file(s). I'm also going to hazard a guess that your xserver doesn't have opengl support.

Hello, (Excuse me for my bad English) I am from Brazil and I am asking for a small help. I could invent histories, but I think the truth works better! I am without work and I lost the hopes, this is last resource asking for donation through internet. I never thought that I would ask for donations, because I always worked a lot, but I had some big problems. This help will make me to work again, I worked in home before, and this was impossible... now I don't get to think in anything, because I don't have not even how to to maintain my house. My happiness is that I have friends that help me, besides a friend is helping each other me now with the sending of these emails. If you can help, even with a small value I will be eternally thankful. I am receiving donations through Paypal.com, for safety. If you can help me with just $1, It will be a great help, because I believe that many can help. For donations: My Paypal.com Account: luisj...@gmail.com Thank you very much and excuse me.

Help with xfce4 on Cygwin/X
Hello,
I've subscribed over at Xfce user's mailing list but wanted to start
here before asking there...
I'm using cygwin-1.7 and the 1.6 Xserver. Previously I've tried to
use the fluxbox (built fine but won't start b/c of missing shared
libs) and used wmaker but it was dull.
I've only used the X-Server for GNU emacs.
I was thrilled when I figured out how to correctly install packages
from the cygwinports project and got pretty far along with xfce4.
I was hoping to sort out some issues (described below) and learn more
about the limitations/best practices of the available packages
(starting with xfce4). Thanks in advance for any assistance. I've
looked in the FAQ's http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html but
haven't found any answers.I copied the xfce4 auto-generated .config
directory to my cygwin $HOME/.config but configuring xfce4 in Linux
seems tricky enough without having to add in the cygwin layer...here's
how I've started xfce4:
I installed the necessary packages from the mirror and can have used 3
ways to start xfce4:
1) Using a .bat file with (in addition to the usual sets and cleanup stuff):
%RUN% XWin -clipboard -silent-dup-error
%RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
startxfce4
2) Using a .bat file with:
%RUN% XWin -keyhook -clipboard -silent-dup-error
%RUN% xfdesktop
3) Firing up a normal cygwin shell and using 'startxfce4'
RESULTS:
#1 gives best results with desktop, bottom panel and icons looking
good. Even the splash screen looks good during startup (couldn't find
'Balou Splash Engine' but 'Mice' worked fine.)
#2 loads with missing icons and the bottom panel either cut off or not
loading. No mouse icon, just a small line.
#3 Starts the X server and that's it. Msgs in cygwin shell indicate
several incompatible requests coming from shell script outlined in FAQ
but that's enough to tell me I don't want to start xfce this way.
Starting xfce4 with choice 1 seems best but there are some issues:
A) 'Tips and tricks' won't display anything; err msg in (initial
xterm session window which runs throughout xfce session) states:
/bin/sh: fortune: command not found
B) Log out icons not working:
4 [main] xfce4-panel 3996 fork: child -1 - died waiting for
longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0xC005, errno 11
4 [main] xfce4-panel 5940 fork: child -1 - died waiting for
longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0xC005, errno 11
C) Mousepad not installed?
Here's a copy of the xterm session messages after executing startxfce4
(i.e. option #1):
$ startxfce4

QUESTIONS:
What's the best way to end the xfce4 session? I've been bringing down
the X Server.
Is using the Konqueror web browser my only option on Cygwin/X?
Thanks very much for any assistance or suggestions.

x keyboard with most keys dead since update -- faq answer 3.2 no help
Hi Everyone Please help, I am quite desperate. The day before yesterday I inadvertently upgraded to the new version of X. I had had a slight problem -- emacs suddenly froze, and on restart, I found myself with a US keyboard layout throughout X. (I need latin-american). I thought that perhaps downloading setxkbmap using cygwin setup might help restore the keyboard layout, but I accidentally ended up downloading the whole current version of cygwin. On restarting the XWin server, I found that xterm now did not respond to the keyboard. More exactly, a little trial and error has shown that some keys work and some don't. The keys that do not work are the main alphanumeric and punctuation keys. But the spacebar, tab, enter, backspace, delete, cursor movement keys, all numberpad keys, the special / key, (and probably all the function keys also) all do work. I can also paste onto the command line. I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows Vista. I have been searching for an answer for the past two days. There is what seems to be the perfect solution in the Cygwin XFree FAQ -- question 3.2. Unfortunately I am already using the startxwin.bat from the /usr/bin directory. I have the same problem even when I start XWin by double-clicking on this exact file. Viewing the file shows no reference to the XKEYSYMDB environment variable, and when I paste echo $XKEYSYMDB into the xterm command line and press Enter, nothing but a blank line is produced. This seems to indicate that my problem is not the same as the problem that Answer 3.2 is the solution to. In my attempts to solve the problem I have done a complete reinstall-from-scratch of cygwin. Same result -- can't use the keyboard. I need cygwin for my work -- and I haven't been able to do any work for the last three days. Please help!

Re: x keyboard with most keys dead since update -- faq answer 3.2 no help
Hi I forgot about your third suggestion -- and in fact setxkbmap us restores the keyboard! But leaves me with a US layout... So maybe the trouble is a corrupted la layout? Thanks for the help.

Need some help with linking errors when building latest GTK+
Hi, I'm simply unable to build latest GTK+ (2.14.5) on cygwin atm. I have a bit of building experience, though, so it might simply be a Cygwin-specific thing I don't (yet) know about. (NOTE: This may be a long post.) First of all, the GTK+ tree seems to have some bugs: [0] Preamble: -lintl is always linked in TWICE - this is nonsense. Commenting out LIBS = -lintl in the Makefile(s) did the trick. [1] BOTH -export-symbols and -export-symbols-regex were specified. This lead to a fatal error, since these are mutually exclusive an must not be specified at the very same time. #Commenting out the line LIBTOOL_EXPORT_OPTIONS = -export-symbols-regex ^[^_].* let me continue without problems. [2] On Cygwin environment, I investigated another problem that WINDRES environment variable in gdk/win32/rc was not recognized, thus auto-transforming this line in the Makefile: $(WINDRES) gdk.rc $@ to [pointless] gdk.rc $@ As a .rc is not an executable script file, This resulted in lots of ugly errors. When completing the line WINDRES = /usr/bin/windres in the parent Makefile, everything worked up to ... [3] ... this point.

I have the capability to make that library automatically link in where you link this library. But I can only do this if you have a shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

Help with startxwin.bat (I did read the FAQ)
Hi, I suddenly began getting the error message: A fatal error has occured and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information. The trailing part of /tmp/XWin.log mentions the following: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' Looks like this problem has already been mentioned in the following FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof Unfortunately, following the procedure outlined there didn't seem to help. I tried: 1. $ mount C:\Programs\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\Programs\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\Programs\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /c type system (binmode) 2. $ umount /usr/share/fonts/ umount: /usr/share/fonts/: No such file or directory 2. Reinstalling all the font-* packages by running setup.exe. Just to be on the safe side, I re-installed everything in the X11 category which was marked as Keep. Even after following all these steps, startxwin.bat still reports the same error. One strange thing I noticed is that the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory does not contain a fonts/ subdirectory. Is that normal? If not, how do I recreate it? Elsewhere, I read that anti-virus softwares, firewall etc end up messing things. So I disabled Symantec Client Firewall and Norton Anti Virus. Still the same story. Is there anything else I can try?

Re: Can anyone help with a multiple monitor system?
I found a log file called XWin.log and it immediately told me what was wrong winScreenInit - Monitors do not all have same pixel format / display depth. Using primary display only. As an experiment, I tried setting both my monitors to 1200x1024 at 16-bit depth. XWin then launched and worked as expected. Curiously, I found that I can set my monitors to different settings AFTER I start XWin and it seems to be quite happy to carry on working. It just doesn't seem to like *starting* if the monitor settings are different, which is a pity. Armed with my new knowledge I decided to search Google. I'd always thought that I was unusual in having twin monitors running at different resolutions but in fact, it seems to be quite common. I found lots of comments about the same problem - though not all of them about Cygwin. Some were about a package (project?) called comp.windows.x. I've never heard of this. Can anyone tell me if it's connected with Cygwin or is it something totally different?

Re: Need help
Hi, Shahed, You need to use xhost in the Windows xterm to enable remote clients (in this case, the Solaris box) to connect to the Cygwin X server. You may also need to enable localhost to connect as well. Specifically: xhost +solaris_ip xhost +localhost You could also just do an xhost +, but that opens up your display to everyone, so I don't recommend it. You also need to make sure that X forwarding is enabled on the Windows side. There are a number of different ways to do this, but here's what I do to export the display of a Solaris app to a Windows machine: 1. (Windows) Open a Cygwin bash shell. 2. (Windows) Start the Cygwin X server and an xterm with the startx command. 3. (Windows) Allow connections to the Cygwin X server with the xhost command, as described above. 4. (Windows) Connect to the Solaris machine with ssh -X solaris_machine -l solaris_user_name 4. (Solaris) (optional) You shouldn't have to do this because you used -X with ssh, but depending on the Solaris app you're trying to display on your Windows system, you may need to explicitly export the Solaris display; for example, if you're using a C shell: setenv DISPLAY windows_machine:0.0 5. (Solaris) Launch your app through the ssh connection, and it should display on the Windows machine.

I wan't to know if there any possibility to reopen another X server or what ihave to do. Jean, Having the error message would be helpful. Most probably, the X server you started is still running and the new one can't listen on :0. You can check this by looking for an X icon in the system tray (close to the time, usually bottom right of your screen). You can use this server, just set the DISPLAY variable correctly. You can kill the server with a right click and the appropriate menu option. For the generics of using X, you had better read some generic nix documents as: - X works the same on cygwin as anywhere else -there is currently no cygwin maintainer for cygwin/X anyway.

Help with Font settings
I'm running Cygwin/X and have figured out how to run terminals for SSH access. The problem is that the font is extremely small, and the colors are terrible. I've figured out how to chang ethe background color, but haven't been able to change the size or color of the fonts. I'd also like to be able to use underlined and bold fonts. Can anyone help me out?

Re: helP: malfunction of the x window system
Thank you for the suggestion. I did not install new firewalls. The firewall was running also before when the x-server was working correctly. I suspect that the issue was generated trying to run Xming. I had some minor problem with Xfree (before the major issue I reported now) and I tried Xming to see if it was working better. Clearly I did not solve the problem since now nor Xming neither Xfree are working... for comparison I tried an evaluation version of a commercial x-server and it works. But it is not working as good as the cygwin-Xfree was working in the past. thanks again, any suggestion is very appreciated -- Initial Header --- From : [EMAIL PROTECTED] To : cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Cc : Date : Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:48:48 +0100 Subject : Re: helP: malfunction of the x window system [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: XWin was started with teh following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard _XSERVTransSocketUNIXCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed _XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListener: failed to create listener for local Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running I checked there were not other Xserver running...

Requesting Help Troubleshooting App That Won't Start
Hello mailing list. I'm new to Cygwin/X, and I'm trying to use it to run Micros 8700 apps (on a SCO OpenServer 5 machine) from my Win2K PC. I'm running an out-of-the box default install of Cygwin/X, except for adding the -ac switch to the startxdmcp.bat file (thanks to Matt Flemming's web site). I can successfully run startxdmcp.bat and log in to the OpenServer desktop. All the built-in OpenServer apps seem to work, and all the Micros 8700 apps work except one (Configurator), which of course is the one I need. When I attempt to start the app, the outline of the window begins to display, but before the contents become visible it immediately closes. The XWin.log file looks exactly the same whether I run a working app or the nonworking one, so that doesn't seem to give me any clues. I don't know where to go from here to troubleshoot - any suggestions would be appreciated.

I heard cygwin switched to X.org from XFree86 over licensing, etc. I decided groovy, my cygwin installation is getting a bit stale anyway. So, I deleted my cygwin directory along with all the references in the registry and downloaded the realease directory, and burned it to DVD (can't believe it won't fit on a CD anymore) yesterday. I ran setup, pointed it to my spankin' new cygwin DVD and let 'er rip for a while. The installation worked like a charm for the command line stuff. I did my usual tweakage - added %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 to cygwin.bat, add Cygwin Prompt Here to the registry, associated .sh files with cygwin.bat and installed my brand new _fullbackup.sh and _incbackup.sh files (thanks Fred Kulack for the -T- steer - embedded spaces are SUCH a pain) and added them to the Scheduled Tasks. I ran both jobs once to be sure they worked and Voila! Eureka! it worked. However, I then tried to run startx from the command line to compare X.org with the previous XFree86 and bummer, dude... ~could not open default font 'fixed' ouch, looked in the archives for this list, read the thread and looked at the faq entry, but neither possibility appears to apply: 1. xorg-x11-fnts is missing - nope, it's there. 2. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is invalid, ls lists all the normal directories and misc contains a slew of .pcf.gz files.

Oops sorry my mistake I was reading that in the cgywin user guide, about cgyserver and not in the cgywin/x server user guide. FYI, the Cygwin/X guide may also mention cygserver, as XWin is compiled with the SHM extension which won't work without it, but that is purely optional. Just so you don't get confused reading about cygserver there. You do not *need* cygserver to run Cygwin/X. Since realising my mistake I've tried adding xwin.exe as a service, which worked but when I try to run a terminal window nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? While it is possible to run XWin as a service (using a service wrapper like cygrunsrv or srvany), it is not recommended, and will not do what you want anyway. XWin needs to run separately for each user, while the service will be global to the machine. You'll also have to allow interaction with the desktop, and make sure the X server is started with the right parameters. If you simply want to start the X server before other programs, put a shortcut to startxwin.bat (or bash startxwin.sh) into the user's Startup folder. Thanks for the help btw...

Re: Newbie help
I think you are confused about the use of the word server as it applies to X-Windows type applications. In X windows, the client is the program such as emacs. The X-Windows server manages the display for the client program. A client program will ask the X-Windows server to draw something on the display. The X-Windows Server does the work and we users get to see the result. The Cygwin X-Windows server is NOT a Windows Service. It is just a program, like any other. Once you have lauched it, you can lauch a terminal program like xterm (A X-Windows Client program) to start up other X-Window client programs.

The rest I'll ask about later (if people are kind) You may want to be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do. As others have said, if you want to run X-based applications in Windows, you need to use startxwin to start X. I've created an entry in my Startup folder that runs X for me. From there, I can run X-based applications. X runs in user space rather than as a server application. The way typical X-windows users see things is that program that runs under startxwin is the client application, not the server. Server applications for X-Windows are running programs (like xterm, emacs, etc.). This may seem like a role reversal, but there's a reason for that - the program producing the information is the server and the program displaying it is the client. So, if I want to display an xterm on my.host.com, I can do that by telling xterm -display my.host.com:0. That will cause xterm to serve itself to the X client on my.host.com instance 0. If the client allows the server to display information, the window will appear. If not, the server will get a rejection notice. If the client rejects, the user can tell the client to accept connections by using xhost +my.other.host.com. For more information, see... man xterm man xhost I hope this helps. -- 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 need help to configure Norton Firewall 2005
I have Norton Internet security 2005 and I installed cygwin cygwin/x. In the firewall configuration in the programs menu I added manually Xwin.exe. The cygwin or cygwin/x start only if I am not connected to internet, but if I connect to internet, the windows appears (the xterm for example), but the prompt for the command line does not appear, so I cannot work. That mean that the firewall is stopping something. In fact if I stop the firewall everithing works. If someone has Norton, please say to me how to make the configuration.

Gerrit, No, I tried to debug with gdb but was not very successful. Currently I cannot build the tree myself, they move a lot of stuff around and there are errors all the time. Maybe I should try to build the latest release instead of CVS sources. Do you mean that what you said before is not true anymore ? What I don't understand (but I did not search a lot in the mozilla site) is that it means no stability of the mozilla development. Is it true ? Do you want me to retry a compile ?
