Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 68
Rootless mode initialize in CreateWindow, and clean up in DestroyWindow. But DestroyWindow is seldom called(I don't know why), so we can't delete HRGN and resource leaks. In XDarwin, it seems that they use RootlessRealizeWindow/RootlessUnrealizeWindow. We will need to move code to winMapWindowPRootless/winUnmapWindowPRootless. Kensuke Matsuzaki
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 68
Hello Harold, Hello all. Just to give some more (late) feedback (hope it helps a bit): I intend to make XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15 the stable release as soon as I receive some feedback that it does not introduce any substantial bugs. I have been using the rootless mode since it was first released as a test for doing my daily programming. I only updated the XWin.exe to the test without extended logging as that consumed too much time and disk space. What I use is: - icewm as window manager (task bar always visible and supplying the window manager`s menu to open new xterms, apart from that I do most of the work via command line anyway), usually one work space left unused to be able to hide all X windows with one mouse click... - nedit with multiple windows (my C source code editor, sometimes 6 and more distributet over icewm`s workspaces) - ssh login to my home system - administration of our internet gateway here in the company (2 LinuX boxes) - mozilla from the LinuX box In parallel on the Windoze side I used - Borland C++ to comile and debug while having nedit open - Mozilla - Open Office - setiathome client I had NO problems at all, everything runs fine except slightly more time seems to be needed to open an X window - but that is no problem here, maybe it is an illusion anyway. Cygwin saved me a lot of trouble in my daily work anyway but with rootless mode the context switching between editing and compiling has become extremely convenient. The Host OS is Windows NT with Service Pack 6. I did not fully check it on my laptop with Windows 98 yet. As far as my experience is concerned: Green light for a release... Regards and have a nice weekend, Uwe
Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 68
Hi all I'm also using the rootless mode since the beginning. Never had any problems except with xwinclip which are solved when using the patched version from Chris Twiner. For my window manager I'm using WindowMaker-0.80.0-2. There is actually a new patch release available 0.80.1. I think we can drop the test status. My system is System: W2K SP2 - 512 MB Ram cygwin snapshot from cygwin1-20021018 - everything mounted binary, - CYGWIN = title binmode ntea nontsec Ciao Volker
Re:[ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 68
Hi all, 1) Add support for non-rectangular windows created by the X Shape Extension while in Rootless mode (e.g., ``XWin -rootless''). (MATSUZAKI Kensuke) Thanks to all who are working to get ready this feature. I've tried to run kwin/kmail/korganizer/konqueror and other kde apps on cygwin/xfree in rootless mode and they works fine. :-) I intend to make XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15 the stable release as soon as I receive some feedback that it does not introduce any substantial bugs. ... then on the kde-cygwin site there will be some screenshots with windowed kde applications. Great work. Ralf

I ran Cygwin Setup and installed package XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-15. However, when I run XWin -rootless, it complains: ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1024 h 768 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning Unrecognized option: -rootless use: X [:display] [option] -a # mouse acceleration (pixels) -acdisable access control restrictions -audit int set audit trail level -auth file select authorization file [snip] If I ls -l /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe I see: -rwxrwxrwx1 Administ None 3137536 Oct 20 22:47 /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin.exe* The Oct 20 timestamp is consistant with the Test 68 announcement, so I'm pretty sure I have the right version. _ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

NEVERMIND: RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 68
Oops. I just discovered that I had a old XWin.exe in a directory that is ahead of /usr/X11R6/bin in my path. I used the full path and all is well! Sorry for the false alarm.
