If you are the only user on host (or you trust the others completly) it is a save method. The other way is using xauth. The xauth protocol is quite simple. When connecting to the xserver, xlib will send the authentication protocol name and the authentication data. The protocols supported by xfree (for linux) are - MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 - XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 - SUN-DES-1 - MIT-KERBEROS-1 The first one uses just a 128 bit random number, which is in general created by xdm. This number is transmitted unencrypted over the network. The three others use all some kind of encryption. To start XWin with MAGIC-COOKIE authorization i tried the following. - create an server authorization file done by starting xdm on linux, logged in and copied the /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/* to the windows machine. - started XWin >XWin -screen 0 640x480x16 -auth ~/xauth.server - added the authorization key to the linux .Xauthority file >xauth -f ~/xauth.server list #ffff##: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 76aaadf5164a584120ff790856683134 >xauth add windows.box:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 76aaadf5164a584120ff790856683134 and xterm could connect from the linux box. I then removed the entry again >xauth remove windows.box:0 and xterm complained it could not connect. ok, this is a little bit complicated, but if you find a tool which generates the serverkey a bit more easyer, this would be the right way. eg. (on windows box) > generate-server-key ~/xauth.server > ssh user@linux.box /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth add windows.box:0 \ > $(xauth -f ~/xauth.server list|sed "s/#ffff##://") > Xwin -screen 0 800x600x16 -auth ~/xauth.server > ssh user@linux.box /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth remove windows.box:0 > > On Thu, Nov 30, 2000 at 08:45:54AM -0500, Harold Hunt wrote: > > In life one must find a balance between time for drinking beer and time for > > all other things; xauth requires too much beer time :) > > > > I've never used xauth, but I will probably add a blurb about how dangerous > > and vile xhost is :) I'm assuming that the xhost dangers you referred to > > were that host names can be spoofed and any user from an allowed host name > > is allowed to connect?

BTW, I visited your DirectX 6.1 webpage today. You've a link to Anders' w32api. You should modify that to point to either http://download.sourceforge.net/mingw/ or to cygwin/latest/w32api/. The MinGW developers have taken on the maintenance of those headers and the CVS repository sits with the Cygwin winsup repository.

For my next Development Framework Release I will be creating a ddraw.h file that can be distributed with the Cygwin project; I believe this involves typing in the whole 5000+ line file, so it may take a little while; thankfully the link library, libddraw.a, is already part of the Cygwin distribution. This is great news... in about two weeks we will have a buildable framework that will allow us to concentrate all of our efforts on implementing the Device Dependent X functions.

Thats where I got stuck (and haven't returned to yet) on GNOME. Hello Robert, hello Bernard, I'm *so happy* to see some of you have the same problem as I have. So I know I'm not alone :) I also tried to compile gtk+ 1 week ago. But my case is worse! I *must* have gthread resp. pthread compiled in the lib without compromises, just because the application(s) I want to run with glib/gtk+ require thread handling (90% of them). However, my system was referenced as "not thread-safe". Obviously, that's true. 45 mins later - with gtk+ still being compiling -, I got an error message related to pthread*. Well you've pushed me - I'm going to try it again this evening - with everything described IN DETAIL. IIRC, glib also complained about a particular thing. I'll report you back soon.

Let me quote this first: (this is from ./configure of glib, we're not speaking about gtk+ yet because gtk+ requires a correctly-built glib to compile at all!) configure: warning: the 'g_get_(user_name|real_name|home_dir|tmp_dir)' functions will not be MT-safe during their first call because there is no working 'getpwuid_r' on your system. configure: warning: the 'g_date_set_time' function will not be MT-safe because there is no 'localtime_r' on your system.

So I copied Xthreads.h to the current directory manually and added #include "Xthreads.h" line to gthread-posix.c. Unfortunately, it doesn't work yet.

This is correct. I wish it was otherwise, but so far most people who try to use the limited pthreads functionality in cygwin seem to be content to note and complain about the bugs but no one has seemed willing to look into fixing them. >If GTK and/or GLib are pthread dependant, you will most likely have a >lot of problems. > >You could try the pthread project at sourceware but I don't know if it >has been ported to cygwin. Chris?? I've heard reports that it works with cygwin but I don't really understand how it could work well unless there was some effort to integrate it with cygwin's signal handling. cgf From a.eibach@gmx.net Sat Dec 2 01:00:00 2000 From: a.eibach@gmx.net (Andreas Eibach) Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2000 01:00:00 -0000 Subject: Cygwin Pthread support (was Re: Compilation of GTK+ GLib in cygwin-xfree) References: <188CAABFF1C6AD4D946FF2170CD8B7AA64EB@itdomain002.itdomain.net.au> <003001c05b3b$e94b5400$5b0f07d5@default> <03d401c05b5b$23d9c600$4d0d07d5@default> <3A2840C9.B5B6E397@attglobal.net> <20001201212535.B3017@redhat.com> Message-ID: <001f01c05b90$28a9aa80$9a0b07d5@default> John Fortin wrote: > >If GTK and/or GLib are pthread dependant, you will most likely have a > >lot of problems. Only if you compile pthread support (--enable-threads in ./configure) into GTK/GLib. If you leave it out (see also Bernard's posts), you won't have to worry about it. However, if the application you want to build does require threads, you're forced to compile it in. Simple as that: you just have to forget about the pthread application(s) for now. > >You could try the pthread project at sourceware but I don't know if it > >has been ported to cygwin.

When I was an undergrad, I knew someone who'd mess with other people in the lab using a trivial program that let him move other people's mouse pointer. This X app would create a window on his terinal representing the desktop of someone else in the lab who's X-server security settings let my friend connect. A circle would move around in my friend's window as his "victim" moved his mouse around. When my friend clicked in the window, both the circle and the victim's mouse pointer would move to the clicked location. It was actually pretty amusing to see a victim get upset at his mouse and sometimes move to a different terminal as a result. Anyway, my point is that instead of listening to mousemove events, my friends app could easily have been logging keypresses instead. Think about this next time you type your password. You don't want to give unwelcome people the ability to connect to your X server. FWIW, there is an option on one of the xterm popup menus for temporarily disabling the ability of other apps to listen to your keypresses. There's even a version of xterm that automatically goes into this mode when it sees a passwd prompt. IIRC, when this mode is on you cannot switch focus to other apps. -jeff From ssiddiqi@nc.rr.com Sat Dec 2 16:34:00 2000 From: ssiddiqi@nc.rr.com (Suhaib M.

ONLY WINDOWS NT/2000 is supported at the moment. Sorry folks for the vanilla Winows 9x/Me.

These libraries are now part of XF86. 4) Xmh (X mail client) is now part of official XF86. 5) Xedit in xfree86-4.0-Prog should work. A Couple of users reported ptty errors and a crash. I recommend getting Mxterm from "contrib" directory, because it has a nice MOTIF scrollbar. Also use XCFWM from "contrib" diectory instead of twm might be a better idea.

Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05410A87F@ENTERPRISE> I'll try to point you in the right direction, but keep in mind that I'm just a lowly programmer of X; I'm not all that good as a user of X. I can tell you that the color is known by the time the call to draw the window border is made; this color is decided by the window manager as the window manager owns all window borders and other such window manager stuff. Therefore, the window manager, vtwm by default in Cygwin/XFree86, would be the place to look for configuring the window border colors and such. Colors inside of a window will be determined by the specific application in question, say xterm; those settings will be specified on a per-application basis, either via command-line parameters, configuration files, default values, or what-not. Modify your startxwin.bat file to illustrate which colors are controlled by the window manager and which colors are controlled by your application, xterm in this case. First, run your unmodified startxwin.bat; note what is drawn. Second, REM out your window manager, say, vtwm.

Primary frame buffer allocation problems will tend to be related to the video drivers, as the primary frame buffer is located in the video memory; while back buffer allocation problems will be due to the amount of available system memory and the DirectDraw code. We have to guess as to the most likely error, due to xf_dx.dll's misreporting of error causes. Relatively little can go wrong with allocating the back buffer, but plenty can go wrong with getting a pointer to the primary buffer; that's why I figure that Zhang needs to update his video drivers. Nevertheless, thanks for being a die-hard Test 7 fan :) Harold From tmassey@modernmerchant.com Tue Dec 5 21:00:00 2000 From: tmassey@modernmerchant.com (Timothy J.

In the Remote X Apps mini-HOWTO, it states that it is possible to run a remote window manager. ( http://www.xs4all.nl/~zweije/xauth-8.html ) Now *that* is something I want to do: My Linux box's GNOME desktop on my NT machine? That's cool... I have a problem, though. The only way that I can figure out to run xhost is from within the xterm spawned when the X server is started. I can't run xterm without a window manager, though (can I?), and seeing as you can't have more than one window manager, if I start the NT window manager, I can't run GNOME remotely. A seeming catch-22. Is there a way to run xhost from anywhere outside of the xterm? I've tried starting it from the bash shell of Cygwin, but that doesn't work. Even when I'm in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory (where I can confirm that xhost.exe is located), when I type xhost (or xhost.exe) it tells me command not found. How can I get around this? Thank you once again for your help. If you have any suggestions on things I can read so as not to bug you guys I would gladly do it.

Most startx scripts (includeing startx.bat) will run one automatically though. Add the location of xhost to your path, or when you run it use ./xhost.exe (remember the local directory is not in your path in bash). You should also edit startx.bat and remove the reference to *wm - the window manager. Rob > -----Original Message----- > From: Timothy J.

I did not try 8 bit color mode, but I suspect that it would look better. My Linux box is running Mandrake 7.2, so when I opened a remote xterm I simply typed 'gnome-session' and Gnome started lauching, displaying on my Cygwin/XFree86 server, or course.

Weird. >Let me know if you succeed, I would like to do the same thing :) Here's what I did: 1) REM out the line "start vtwm" from STARTXWIN.BAT 2) Run STARTXWIN.BAT 3) Exit the rxvt window so that you can get to the xterm What does rxvt do, anyway? 4) In the xterm window, type: "xhost +" I will eventually add this to STARTXWIN, but this was faster. 5) On the remote X machine, type: "export DISPLAY=:0.0" "gnome-session" That's it! You will get a bunch of Gdk errors, but everything seems to be OK. Except for one thing: the colors are hideous! The background is blue on my Linux machine (Redhat 7 with GNOME), but it's RED on NT. The icons are incorrectly colored, too. I can live with that, though... Anyway, pretty neat! It's a lot like sitting at the Linux console. I could probably do the same thing with VNC, but it wouldn't be as cool... :) Tim Massey From tmassey@modernmerchant.com Wed Dec 6 04:29:00 2000 From: tmassey@modernmerchant.com (Timothy J.

Set Windows to run at 8 bits... then Test 7 will run at 8 bits; Test 7 doesn't change the video mode, it uses the current video mode. >Did you solve the xmodmap problem in Test 7. I haven't touched the keyboard code since I first wrote it... I'll have to come back to the keyboard code when I get the non-framebuffer server done, as the new server uses the same input code. I don't expect the non-framebuffer server to be done any sooner than three to six months from now. I would like to learn more about international keyboard support; in order to do that I need someone that is bilingual and that has some non-English keyboards. I nominate you to help me... no that I've got a helper, I have a few questions :) 1) Are the accent keys that you mentioned on their own key caps or do they share a keycap and get accessed through a modifier key (such as Shift, Alt, Ctrl, etc.)? 2) Where are the accent keys located on the keyboard? 3) Can you send me a picture of your keyboard, or point me to a picture that I can access online? 4) What input locale do you have Windows set to? 5) What are the names of the keys that do not work? See, I can't really help until I know what key name I'm looking to fix :) 6) Have you looked at the source for Test 7? Particulary, winkeymap.h? It is quite easy to follow and has tips embedded in the comments... 7) Do you have a French language Visual C++ or MS Platform SDK installed? If so, please send me your WinUser.h header file. I'm interested in learning the issues related to supporting non-English keyboards, but I have to be honest that right now I am deeply involved in coding the output of the non-framebuffer server; I will attempt to search for a quick fix for you, but I cannot, at this time, engineer a generalized international keyboard support system if that's what ends up being required. I will gladly help you if you decide to look into the problem on your own.

Yes, consider it the UNSTABLE release of the project.

Yes... that's what the test was. In fact, you can run programs from your linux box without using Gnome as your window manager. See the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide for a few tips on how to start, at http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/docs/ug/ . >Does xfree run in a desktop window yet? STABLE? No. UNSTABLE? Yes.

[Alt+PrScr] copies the active window. Then just open any paint program, and paste it in. I used to use that for training manuals, all the time. If you want to print the pics, put windows into a greyscale color scheme before the screengrab, and things print beautifully crisp and clean.

This *would* be great indeed ;) But Test 7 would only work in 8 bit mode, AFAICS. My current setting is 'High Color'. But I get the same weird colors as if I set colors to 16.

However this program doesn't work properly. When I start xfree with 16bit graphics and try to display images with the program, it gives a following error: Displaying X Error of failed request (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 78 (X_CreateColormap) Serial number of failed request: 14 Current serial number in output stream: 277 When I start xfree with 8bit graphics, the program gives no errors, but nevertheless no picture too. It shows a reddish brown window and when I move the cursor on it, it makes all the open windows as black holes. When I hit the right button on it (as you should get different color setting in the program then), the program seems to react as it chages the upper task bars colors of open windows to white and screens to black. So the program need XCreateColormap, XStoreColor and 8bit graphics, but doesn't work properly. Does anyone have any idea what is the problem?

At the present I can say that running an X application under Cygwin-Xfree is not an easy task, mostly if your X application has not been compiled under C-X. Does your application run under Linux for instance? If yes and if you have the sources then you are in a better situation. If it runs under Linux, check xdpyinfo to know what are your screen and color depth. As indicated by Harold set your Windows NT to the number of bits (256 colors for 8bits) of your program and then start C-X, then your application . It should run. I passed through these steps for two lab programs and got satisfaction. It is not yet as fast as under Linux but it works. If you use Test 7 then your window is reduced and this might affect your program, but it works too , or you have to adjust parameters of your X application.

It seems that it doesn't start the vtwm at all, it just gives the xterm "empty envelope", but you can't move it and when clicking the left, xfree vanishes and you are back in the Windows. It crashed even when I didn't start the vtwm. However when I set xfree to 800x600x8, it started and the program displayed 5 differently coloured upper task bars with black screens (when clicking the right) instead of 2 as before. So we are going forward! Then I set the Windows in 800x600x8 too, but again xfree didn't work. > If you use Test 7 then your window is reduced and this might affect your > program, but it works too , or you have to adjust parameters of your X > application. > I don't use Test 7.

I redownloaded the files from another mirror, but vtwm was still not present. I finally found a package named vtwm-5.4.5a.tar.bz2 on some German mirror, which provided vtwm (although one must manually copy it to usr/X11R6/bin).

Maybe by extensively modifying the Makefile? Well _I_ think that it would become a TOUGH task to compile Cygwin built-in thread support into gtk. In worst case, you will have to re-change every single reference to certain headers to get it working in the end. However, if you know a smart way, I'd be happy to hear from you.

Message-ID: Hello everyone, First just let me introduce myself, I'm one of the current development team members for LiteStep. I was browsing the Cygwin X-Free website and noticed the following request "One of the desired features is integration of the X Desktop with the Windows Desktop, so X and Win32 can share the same desktop. Currently the X server runs as a full-screen directX application" I have some knowledge on this subject as attempted to do the same in LiteStep, like Cygwin X-Free, our current desktop is just an invisible window over the Window's desktop. If any of the developers would like to email me with questions I would be more than glad to share my knowledge on the subject. Thanks, Message message@litestep.net Bobby G.

I attached an email of Ross Johnson who tells me exactly what you suggested, for pthreads. It will be the same work to do for every application. One way out IMO is to port at first pthreads and then link against this library. Then all the work needs to be done only once. (I hope so). It will really become a TOUGH task, as you write so nice.

You may need to comment those headers out and then see which things are undefined when you compile the library. Then look through the headers that come with cygwin to see if any of them contain those definitions, and include those headers instead.

It is not "automatically" read when bash is in login mode (i.e. --login). The Cygwin setup process creates a /etc/profile file that looks for ~/.bashrc and executes it if it exists.

In fact I have tried the WeirdX, XServer in Java and it works great with my linux box. But when I tried to use the cygwin xterm it would not start on my machine due to the cannot open display error. Also when I try to do the same thing running xfree, instead of WeirdX the connection is refused by the xserver so it seems to be working I just can't get anything to display on it. If you just need a simple xterm WeirdX is not bad, although it is still a work in progress.. gnome does not run and I had problems setting the font size interactively on an xterm.

ME TOO! :) Exactly this pthread_cond_* thing is the reason why pthread doesn't compile in gtk+ currently! (All 'make' error messages I get are related to *_cond_*). You can build gtk+ without pthreads OOTB, but not with them, currently. If you get _that_ working, you did a big step forward.

Wanted to post a challenge: I will donate $300 on behalf of the first people to get a stable GNOME desktop binary distribution running under Cygwin/XFree before my birthday, February 9th, 2001 to any Free software project or organization of the "winners'" choice. General requirements towards meeting the challenge: A stable port of the base gnome libraries, the gnome core, gmc, the panel, ORBit, sound, and at least one of sawmill, Enlightenment, or Ice window managers to XFree running under Cygwin, and whatever else is required to get a basic useable stable Gnome desktop. Any necessary patches must be cleanly resubmitted to the Gnome project, Cygwin, or XFree projects. Binary distributions of the results should be made available for easy install; preferably both the XFree server and the GNOME binaries would be made part of the basic Cygwin "Setup" distribution. This is meant as a gentleman's challenge. Whether the requirements are met within reason is at my discretion. What group of developers gets to choose the project or organization to receive the funds is at my discretion, if that project is clearly enough organized to appropriately use the money is also at my discretion, and if there is no clear leader or the developers involved can't agree, then I'll just make the donation to the Free Software Foundation. "Almost" success (like everything-but-sound) may lead to a partial prize, at my discretion. Death to lawyers. I'm hoping this work will lead to improvements in both Cygwin and XFree on Windows. I attempted compiling the GNOME sources under Cygwin a while ago, and mostly ran into the lack of thread support. I realize this money is nothing compared to the value of the time you folks spend on this; I wish I had more time to work on it directly. I'd love to see matching purses posted by others.

A login shell does not read .bashrc. You would need to explicitly source it from .bash_profile Pierre ************************ When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behav- ior. When a login shell exits, bash reads and executes commands from the file ~/.bash_logout, if it exists. When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.

Thank you for your indications. You are totally correct. I was not aware of this subtil trick , as it is most of the time taken in the architecture of the starting programs in Unix, Linux systems. If by any chance you know how to have a program started at a new session I would appreciate. For instance lets assume that I want to adapt my keyboard. At the present time I added this line to my startxwin.bat start mxterm -e /bin/bash xmodm. xmodm is a shell file the beginning being #!/bin/sh xmodmap -e "keycode 8 = " xmodmap -e "keycode 9 = Escape " xmodmap -e "keycode 10 = ampersand 1 " xmodmap -e "keycode 11 = asciitilde 2 " xmodmap -e "keycode 12 = quotedbl 3 " xmodmap -e "keycode 13 = apostrophe 4 " xmodmap -e "keycode 14 = parenleft 5 " xmodmap -e "keycode 15 = minus 6 " .... This is not very elegant but works except that due to speed I got sometimes the indication that xmodmap cannot find the 127.0.0:0 and it takes some time to have the whole file executed. I got then a kind of french keyboard with most of the important keys I did not succeed to have dot Directories in the Home directory. MS Windows does not accept this writing . This writing is required by many UNIX, Linux programs. How is it possible to circumvent this ? Best regards Yours Bernard Pierre A.

Ah, you MUST be NT users. :) IIRC, this is a NT-only problem. I never had this behaviour with a Win9x machine, honestly, *never*.

(GGI or DirectX.. ) References: Message-ID: <015a01c072bb$6e7c3ae0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Well, The current 'official' distribution uses an external driver .dll that is separately compiled with MSVC.. it uses DirectX. If you just want a functioning X-Server then that's your route - don't even thing of building (you'll need 1/2 Gb+ to build XFree86). This is the one that you get from www.xfree86.org. (But you can't get the extra .dll there). John Fortin is working on the GGI server - John how should I describe it's state? There was a 'released' version of it available for download, but I don't know what gotchas it may have, or how steep the learning curve to start messing with the code is. Harold's DirectX work derived from the 'official' code, and merged in the separate .dll so it is not needed anymore. It also [will] solve(d) many of the current user interface glitches the 'official' driver has. However in some respects it was a start from scratch effort (see the list for details). If you want to read doco... this mailing list is the place. Also the full XFree86 documentation applies. If you want to write derivative doco, or win32 specific doco Harold has released under GDL a howto and the beginnings of a user manual for XFree86 on windows - I'm sure he'd appreciate assistance. For betatesting you could test either the GGI or DirectX flavours... I suspect that the DirectX version will have the closest windows integration down the track. Mind you I'm supposing that from a position of 100% ignorance of GGI - so I'm ready to be corrected :-] Rob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Markebo" To: Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2000 10:30 AM Subject: Please oh masters guide me..

This is a problem with the directX using 'official' distribution. Try pressing a releasing ALT after you are back in the X window. There is work underway to fix this.

Right now GGI is going through a transition phase. There are some basic incompatibilites btwn how GGI is coded for un*x platforms and how win32 works. I would concentrate on the directX port which Harold is actively developing.
