(MATSUZAKI Kensuke) 2) Not in the release build, but in the sources: Clean up the RANDR extension code to match the latest RANDR interface. This can't be enabled yet because it crashes on startup in 32 bit per pixel mode. (Harold Hunt) Release plans: 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. Be sure to check non-rootless mode with the ``-scrollbars'' parameter and make sure that the window is created at the correct size and that there is no wierdness when resizing. For example, I recall seeing Cygwin/XFree86 startup with the display area being chopped to allow space for scrollbars that were not being displayed. I didn't look into that one --- so I would appreciate it if someone else could verify that it happens.

This is a synchronization with all the fixes that have been applied from Server Test Series - Test 64 through Server Test Series - Test 68. These fixes are summarized below: 1) Add support for using XF86Config-style configuration files. (Alexander Gottwald) 2) Include an X icon and the necessary build rules for building Windows resource files (even while cross compiling). (Harold Hunt, Jehan Bing) 3) Include an initial rootless mode with X Shape Extension support. (MATSUZAKI Kensuke) 4) Scrollbars support. (Jehan Bing, Harold Hunt) 5) Warning dialog on disruptive screen depth change --- not quite perfect. (Harold Hunt) -- Harold Hunt To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'XFree86-xserv' from the 'XFree86' category. You may need to click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up. Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update. In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth connection. In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date. In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date. If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror. Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list at: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com . If you want to subscribe go to: http://cygwin.com/lists.html I would appreciate if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general. If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list is the appropriate place.
