From huntharo@msu.edu Tue Apr 1 22:17:00 2003 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold L Hunt II) Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2003 22:17:00 -0000 Subject: Updated on sourceware: XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-27 Message-ID: The XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-27 package has been updated in the Cygwin distribution. Changes: 1) Native GDI engine is finished! 100 fold performance improvement! (Harold Hunt, Mickey Mouse) 2) Native Windows version of Cygwin/XFree86 released --- no need for Cygwin. (Harold Hunt, Foo Bar) 3) Windows and X clipboard integration now works flawlessly. (Harold Hunt, Frodo Baggins) :) -- 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.

You may wish to note the desired filename in the links below, then download from your closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html). Server binary, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test80.exe.bz2 (1203 KiB) Server source, direct link: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-20030429-1932.tar.bz2 (110 KiB) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against Test79 source code: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-Test79-to-Test80.diff (19 KiB) Changes: 1) Add automatic keyboard detection for ``Portuguese (Brazil)'', ``Portuguese (Portugal)'', and ``Italian''. (Alexander Gottwald) 2) Add taskbar notification area (tray) icon. Exit on double-click of icon. (Early Ehlinger) 3) Add popup menu for right-click on tray icon. Add menu item for ``Exit''. (Harold L Hunt II) 4) Add -[no]trayicon command-line parameters. The default is for the tray icon to be created for each screen (as if -trayicon were passed). You can turn tray icons off by placing -notrayicon at the beginning of the parameter list to XWin.exe (must be before any -screen x parameters). You can then enable the tray icon on a screen-by-screen basis by placing -trayicon after any -screen x parameter that you wish to have tray icons enabled for. For example, ``XWin.exe -notrayicon -screen 0 -screen 1 -screen 2 -trayicon'', would create three screens, two of which (screens 0 and 1) would not have tray icons, while the third (screen 2) would. 5) Hide root window in MultiWindow mode. (Early Ehlinger) 6) Add some initial support files that might eventually hold code for the X Video Extension. These files do not currently affect the operation of the server and I have stopped working on them for the time, but I will leave them there as a place holder.

(Harold L Hunt II) 2) Delete the tray icon in the per-screen close procedure, which ensures that every tray icon is deleted. This also causes the tray icons to be deleted when the server is reset, which is required since the tray icons are recreated when the server is reset. (Harold L Hunt II) Enjoy, Harold
