We include only these whole DirectDrawCreate, DirectInput and blah is not in directx.c any more. We moved it to xf_dx.dll a long time ago. Only xf_dx.h headers which is for calling xf_dx.dll. You MUST be using an ancient code... doing a mix and match from old code or something else going on. Below is the directx.c from the latest X-server. It will give you an idea that the undefined symbols you are getting are not even in latest directx.c routine. Only directx.c pasted below won't do any good to you because all the headers and other subroutines were rewritten 2 months ago.

The tar-balls uploaded 2 weeks ago should work. They have 98% changes submitted to XFree86 Organization. I cannot redistribute tar-balls from CVS reporsitory at XFree86.org. It is against XFree86 Inc. policy to redistribute tar-balls and binaries from CVS repository untill a final release is out. Sorry.

XFree86 is based upon X11R6.4. DLLs might work as replacement for X11R6.4 from Sergey, but compilation of x clinets should return errors.

Message-ID: <000801c01a8a$5d66c880$0100a8c0@gandalf> L.S. ???? I have a problem that looks a bit like the one reported recently by John Turner; however, the solution outlined for him does not work for me. This is what I did: - installed Cygwin 1.1.4 on my machine (PIII, TNT2 video card). This was the first time I used Cygwin, so no chance for B20.1 or other versions. - downloaded all xfree86-4.0-* tar.bz2 files - untarred into toplevel cygwin dir, so installation is under /usr/X11R6 - added /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/X11R6/lib in front of the path in /etc/profile; the path is OK according to bash. - entered "startxwin.bat" at the bash prompt.(XWin -screen 8 1024x768x16 has the same effect) ???? A few DOS boxes with xwin, xterm etc. flash over the screen, then the screen becomes black, with just a small hour-glass shaped cursor, which can be moved around. For the rest, the machine is completely frozen, only the reset button gets it alive again. Two times there was a "lost cluster" on the disk after reboot that contained a listing of messages just as John reported, apart that the text stops after "error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy". I did a few experiments to see what could be happening: - I did rebuild all font .dir files as recommended to John, but this does not help. - it looks like the Xserver is running, trying to point an xterm from a linux box did not give any errors on the linux side, only nothing was visible at the windws side! - the xterm on the cygwin/windows machine does work with the MIX Xserver, only it reports that sh is not available, but I do not think this could be the problem. ???? Any suggestions how to get this to work, or at least to get some more info (logfiles etc) about what is going wrong? Any configuration files that should be changed? ???? Thanks already for any help, ???? Regards, ???? Hans G????ebel ????

That is your problem. The batch files are for DOS. For BASH, use startx script which ships with xfree86.

Just like setup.exe for Adobe Photoshop will install Microsoft PhotoDraw, setup.exe for Cygwin 1.1.x will not do a magick to download XFree86 bzip2 compressed file and install it.

The colors problem will fixed once we have multi-windowing working. For multiwindowing, users will not need to download the X-servers binaries, HOPEFULLY, only replacing xf_dx.dll with a newer one would be ebough.

Please refer to previous mail. Peter Busch had been working on adding multi-windowing to xf_dx.dll which will allow to run server in multi-windowing mode like exceed etc. No X-server is needed from contrib directory for xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2. The 2 bz2 archives marked X-server-v-1.x are MSVC compiled X-servers with 3 extensions only, like MI/X.

Or, you could post this to the *cygwin* mailing list rather than the cygwin-xfree mailing list where the author of setup.exe would probably be happy to help you figure this out. Or, you could even look at the sources for setup.c and figure it out for yourself.

Any > recommendations? NO crtl+tab minimize the X-server to Windows task-bar, you see then a little black DOS console with X-server output info etc. Hit X on it to close it and X-server will die. That is why I put in startxwin.bat "start xwin...." so we get a DOS console which will allow to kill it. But in future we may have a better method to kill it. BTW: on UNIX crtl+Alt+backspace kills the X-server (Xfree86). That cobination does not wrok on Windows. If you more console Windows for twm and xterm etc, add start before the relevent command in startxwin.bat Suhaib > > Harold L Hunt II > Phone: 800-850-1616 ext 108 > Email: harold@compasstechnologies.com From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Sep 10 16:56:00 2000 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib M.

It does look good, but I'd like to suggest that instructions be changed to just use the "Install Cygwin Now" link on the main cygwin web page rather than finding a mirror.

I'll be doing the FAQ tonight hopefully. regarding thr rgb.txt file, could you tar.bz2 _just that file_ yourself? Then we can put it in the ftp directory as a separate download. (Unless Suhaib thinks that's a bad idea..) I'd suggest you obfuscate your email address if this goes straight on the web, there are crawlers that grab email address's and then spam them :-[ I.e. harold at compasstechnologies dot com rather than harold@... Harold when we're all happy with this, for me to load it on the cygwin xfree pages, could you tar.bz2 the pages & graphics and mail to my personal email address. Suhaib, if you're happy with Harold's How-to, (which I am), I think it should be hosted on the cygwin/xfree pages (particularly as Harold has said his employer won't host it).

Actually, on reflection, I think it is safest just to use "the current release" rather than 1.1.4 whereever possible. Then there won't be a mad scramble when we update cygwin. cgf From cgf@cygnus.com Mon Sep 11 11:59:00 2000 From: cgf@cygnus.com (Chris Faylor) Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 11:59:00 -0000 Subject: CVS References: <002901c01be5$afe11b40$f7c723cb@lifelesswks> Message-ID: <20000911145826.B9599@cygnus.com> On Mon, Sep 11, 2000 at 07:47:03AM -0400, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > >> The "support video drivers" aren't needed anymore are they? > >Yes, they are needed. the xf_dx.dll contains code DirectX/DirectInput. >xf_ntux.dll is needed bf XVFB.exe, but this driver rather buggy. > >> Also whats the new email address for commercial software enquiries (it was >> info@cygnus.com) >> can you give me a single url about imakefiles to put in the FAQ? > >Chris can answer that.

Unfortunately, this hasn't made the transition to the redhat.com domain name so this may change in the future. cgf From Harold@compasstechnologies.com Mon Sep 11 12:27:00 2000 From: Harold@compasstechnologies.com (Harold Hunt) Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2000 12:27:00 -0000 Subject: Samba install problems Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05406F90B@ENTERPRISE> DJ, When running setup.exe from my Samba share, U:, I get the following log results: mbox fatal: Can't open latest/ash/ash-20000823.tar.gz.tmp for writing: No such file or directory /var/log/samba/log.bones contains the following error message: [2000/09/11 13:57:51, 0] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1188) open_directory: unable to create disks/cygdown/latest/ash. Error was No such file or directory When running the same setup.exe on C: I get no such errors. The following program fails as well, giving the same message in the Samba log file: int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { int iResult = 0 ; DWORD dwError = 0 ; iResult = CreateDirectory( "U:\\disks\\cygdown\\latest\\ash\\", NULL ) ; if (!iResult) { dwError = GetLastError() ; cout << "CreateDirectory failed: " << dwError << endl ; } else { cout << "CreateDirectory succeeded" << endl ; } return 0; } However, CreateDirectory("U:\\disks\\cygdown\\latest\\", NULL ) works, note, u:\disks\cygdown exists at time of call, but u:\disks\cygdown\latest does not exist; it seems to me that Samba fails on CreateDirectory calls that attempt to create nested non-existent directories. I'm guessing that this has to have showed up as a bug report for Samba, as CreateDirectory is primarily used for creating several directories at once, so this has probably been fixed after Samba 2.0.6, but I have yet to check for such a bug report. Harold L Hunt II Phone: 800-850-1616 ext 108 Email: harold@compasstechnologies.com -----Original Message----- From: DJ Delorie [ mailto:dj@delorie.com ] Sent: Monday, September 11, 2000 1:35 PM To: harold@compasstechnologies.com Subject: http://63.106.166.5/KB/HowTo/CygXFreeInstall.htm "I have run into problems using the setup program when I try to save the downloaded packages to a Samba share, such as, ?file ash-20000323.tar.gz.tmp could not be opened?; therefore, I recommend that you save the downloaded packages to a native Windows share, or a local drive, to which you have full permissions." Sorry, this is wrong. Setup works just fine with Samba partitions. If you are having problems with file permissions, you need to fix it or choose another directory. Note that you can have permission problems on a *local* directory as well, it has nothing to do with samba (except that samba, like any other file server, allows you to limit access to directories you choose). The solution is to choose a directory that you can write to, either elsewhere on the samba share, or on a different share. Please re-word this paragraph in your document to more accurately describe the nature of the problem and the solution. Thanks!

Did you check Intel URL for an updated driver. Intel is usually VERY VERY lousey in providing PATCHES and new drivers. Their tech support is one of the LOUSIEST I have ever seen in the world. I had their C++/F compilers, reported bugs to them. It took them six month to confirm the bugs, and no fixes yet, almost 11 months are gone.

X3386 was the first X-server written while XF86 gang was MIT. That time Linux did not existed. Below is the cut and paste of a statment from XFree86 Inc. "The XFree86 Project, Inc is a non-profit organisation which produces XFree86, a freely redistributable open-source implementation of the X Window System that runs on UNIX(R) and UNIX-like (like Linux, the BSDs and Solaris x86 series) operating systems and OS/2. XFree86 is the underlying software that is between the hardware and graphical user interface (aka gui) that people see and use. If you are using KDE, GNOME, Enlightenment, twm or fvwm then you are already using and running XFree86 as these run as our clients. Traditionally, The XFree86 Project has focused on Intel x86-based platforms, which is where the `86' in our name comes from, but our current release supports other platforms like the Alpha, PowerPC, Sparc and in-the-works MIPS CPU families. Our goal at XFree86 is to have X run on every platform available, including those we do not currently support, as the best windowing system available on that platform." XFree86 Inc. goal now is to cover as many as possible Operating systems, not only x86-based OS or Linux. Linux itself no more only x86-based OS. The Cygwin/XFree port was done more or less along the line of OS/2 port. For OS/2 port Holger's patches were merged into XFree86 source base, but the supporting drivers source code and binaries are available only from Holger's Web Pages. Cygwin/XFree (Windows) is simillar, you need supporting drivers whose binaries and source codes will be available from http://source.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree .

Windows NT 4 has an option which Administrator can set, it changes permissions on file (check Microsoft Knowledge Base). I suspect he has that unique option set under his ENV.

I have not had to take such a step. I'm interested in finding out why this happens to you, so I'll look into it. Glad you liked the how-to. Looked up error 0xC0000022, it translates to "Access Denied". Do an 'ls -l *.dll' in /usr/X11R6/bin, and send me the first few lines of output. My output looks like the following: -rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 210944 Jul 16 13:30 libGL.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 72704 Jul 16 13:30 libICE.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 203776 Jul 16 13:30 libPEX5.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 administ None 29184 Jul 16 13:30 libSM.dll Notice, there are no execute permissions. I'm wondering if your problem is somehow related to inheritable permissions on the directories containing the DLLs. Try deleting /usr/X11R6 and reinstalling the tar balls, fiddling with different security settings each time, let me know if you find something.

This is due to the fact that my bash prompt is "oja@Pc_oja" >instead of "administrator@Pc_oja" (and I don't remember how to change this). Hmm... sounds to me like you ran 'mkpasswd -d > /etc/passwd', this creates a passwd file with the SIDs of all of your Domain's users. Bash will then reflect the current user rather than the default of administrator, and you'll notice that you have a /home/%username% directory instead of /home/administrator. Please test this scenario for me, to determine if your problem is NT related, Cygwin related, or Cygwin/XFree related: Follow the how-to instructions, installing a duplicate copy in, say, c:\cygwin2. The how-to only addresses the default Cygwin installation; if your duplicate installation fails, then I'll know that you have found a problem that is NT specific, and that should be addressed in the how-to. If your duplicate installation works, then you may have inadvertantly changed a default setting that the how-to depends on.

Message-ID: <85256958.005E3166.00@D51MTA08.pok.ibm.com> I have tried a number of times (from different machines, and froom different mirrors) to download the libGL-fix.tar.bz2 file for the xfree binaries. I am able to extract the bzip2 file, but tar cannot read this file (inside a cygwin environment, or using the tar utility from an NT prompt. Under the NT rompt, I get the following message: tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive. tar: Skipping to next file header... tar: only read 10106 bytes from archive h:libGL-fix.tar The error for cygwin is similar. The rest of the files in the binary set downloaded and expanded with no problem, but this one just won't work. Is it needed to rin the XF86 server? James E.

What Cygwin options are you using? As I've previously indicated, 'chmod u+x' really should only has meaning to Cygwin and only if you are using a specific option in the Cygwin environment variable. cgf From Harold@compasstechnologies.com Tue Sep 12 13:21:00 2000 From: Harold@compasstechnologies.com (Harold Hunt) Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 13:21:00 -0000 Subject: Installation How-To Draft Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05406F932@ENTERPRISE> Oliver, Pleaes run '/usr/bin/cygcheck -s > cygcheck.out', and mail the resulting cygcheck.out file to the list.

I didn't fix the issue with perl - but I was apparently searching the wrong list archive - as the chmod o+x,g+x,u+x *.dll cmd did fix it for me. I suspect there is a problem untarring or setting x when cygwin=ntsec. I don't use cygwin=ntsec at the office, and I had no problems there.

You should be able to use something like "wget" to download the stuff from Harold's pages without his needing to send it to you.

After looking at the FAW and the mail archive, I've yet to see a concise description of what my options are as an end-user. This is confusing to the uninitiated. It seems there are several versions: a DirectX version a GGI version a version integrated into XFree86-4.0.1 a version that based on VNC a version I don't know about (some of these are probably the same) How many versions are there? Which ones run in a M$ window, and which are fullscreen-only? What bit-depths are supported for each version? How do I start that version? What package should I download? What supporting packages are needed? What compiler was used? It would be cool if there were a chart with this kind of information in the FAQ. -- Further Your Affiant Sayeth Naught.

Its not clear to me, in the first case, where CYGWIN is being set, nor where the ls is being done, for both cases. Could you supply a bit more detail on the sequence of operations?

NO, VNC server was never part of XFree86 and cannot be part of XFree86 source base. VNC server code is owned by AT&T and source code distributed under GPL, of which many terms contradicts X Consortium License. You can use a GL'ed tool, to compile xfree86, but any code to be merged into XFree86 source base should not be under GPL or LGPL. It allows a VNC client to > connect to the server for remote display.

The VNC > developers > run a really neat lab with proximity badges activating > terminals.. but this The X-server in contrib directory is drived from VNC code, but it has nothing from XFree86, except X11R6.3 libraries. Therefore its source code is completely separate and in contrib directory. The X-servers in contrib directory are not our priority servers. They are provided as a substitute to Windows 95/98 users, if/when the 16-bite code issues will be fixed or Win Me will enventually wipe out Win95/98 in future. > is off-topic :-] > > a version I don't know about > hmm neither do I > > (some of these are probably the same) > > > > How many versions are there? > Suhaib - this ones yours > > Which ones run in a M$ window, and which are fullscreen-only?

Tell the user MAKE A CHART which he likes and hang it. Is there a chart for Xfree86 on XFree86 Inc URL or a chart for Cygwin or Cygwin main URL. If he is mathmatician, he can make his own pie charts the way he likes. I see no sense for this.

That's one problem but this should be solvable since there is now a libbz2 (or something like that) available.

I should point out that you seem to be attributing to malice what is probably just a symptom of someone (Suhaib) being very busy and not taking the time to add a lot of words to his messages. His advice is sound but you seem to be reacting to the fact that he didn't say "Please". As someone, who has gotten similar angry responses to my occasional terse replies, I think I can detect the same pattern here.

I don't think Robert is really asking for this project to specifically test all possible configurations... not even microsoft does that (as is clear from the frequency of their patches). But it would be useful to have a list of configurations that are known not to work... i.e. configurations that get discussed on this list, and are found to not be workable, then those should be recorded on the website. Also, I concur that the win2k with CA810 motherboard (i.e. Intel 810 graphics architecture) does not work properly with the standard MS Win2K drivers nor with the latest (this month) Intel drivers. I get the standard X desktop with cursor, I can even get some windows & twm running, but since the display is seriously crunched up and distorted whatever resolution I run it in 640x480x16, 800x600x16, 1024x768x16, etc. I get exactly the same shape and distortion of the desktop! I tried to post this information some days ago from a different email account, but discovered that that account is routed via an open relay that is in the ORBS database. :( which resulted in redhat throwing out my email.

It appears that DirectInput on Windows Me handles signals differently, then Windows2000. Initially I tested XWin.exe on Windows Me RC3, but final release seems to have problems. The X-server waits for DirectInput on Windows Me. The code for handeling Input for OS is in WaitFor.c under WaitForSomething subroutines. I am trying to find a work around. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

Message-ID: <96926362601@mail.emumail.net> Hi to all Win32 Nedit fans (and others too ;-)!!! After some hours alone front of my Windows machine I've finally fixed the problem of the now infamous "NEdit: Xlib: locale C not supported" error. I checked some test cases and found the reason. I don't know if I can fix it in all cases but what I know is that I understand it and can reproduce it too. On my 2 boxes (office and home) I installed all the xfree libs. So This fixed indvertantly the problem and make me crazy during the debug. If you didn't install the X developer package, you got the error. If you install the local lib everywhere without taking into account the mounted file system, you got the error. So ... The problem had nothing to do with the nedit/cygwin/X binaries (so it's not a bug ;-) but it's due to an incomplete installation. It's a problem of file system mount combined with a problem to locate the locale directory.... !!! yes !!! you need to have the locale directories in the right place for Xlibs, ie /usr/X11r6/lib/X11/locale. If you try to point this local directory by setting the C_LOCALE or X_LOCALE without mounting a file system, it doesn't work. And if you install all the cygwin+Xfree distribution you fix the problem. Now, here's how to fix this problem and make I think a correct installation Please read the whole document before doing some installation. ***** X server First of all, do not forget to install the X server ;-)) * If you use Exceed as Xserver, may be a copy of the locale directory in the right place must fix the problem. If not , check the mount (see below) to see if it suits the right place. Please let me know. ***** Download locations : - NEdit : sources or distribution from ftp.nedit.org/pub/v5_1_1/executables - Cygwin : select a mirror at sources.redhat.com/cygwin/mirrors.html then connect and go to the cygwin directories. To download the minimal (dll+basic commands) : ==> latest/cygwin/cygwin-1.1.4.tar.gz To install it : create a directory in c:\nedit gunzip|tar the file in this directory. You can download the latest/bzip2/bzip2.tar.gz file (compress utiliy) To download the complete distribution ==> latest/* ==> contrib/* To install it : Run the latest/setup.exe. - Xfree : On the same mirror (;-) go into the xfree/xc-4-binaries directory. You can download all the tar files if you want to install and run Xfree (only on NT, not on Windows9x) For the minimal installation of NEdit/cygwin, you need to download : xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 (1Mb) xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 (5.7Mb) If you downloaded the complete cygwin distrib. and if you don't want to run the Xfree server but want to have a correct X installation , I recommend to download the 2 previous files listed above plus these ones: xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2 xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2 The ftp site contains a contrib dir (xfree/contrib) where you can find interesting tools. All these package are zipped with the bz2 tools. See below to download it. If you want to install all, you can install first the cygwin distribution. The bz2 tools are included into it. - LessTif Download the latest source from www.lesstif.org. *** The Full Distribution : I recommend this installation because you can use or compile nedit and many other tools on your win box (cvs, htdig, perl ...). - Install all the cygwin tools - Install the xfree binaries. - Configure and compile lesstif (really long.... on a PIII/500 ;-))) - Want to compile Nedit ? : Download the nedit sources. At these step, you need to check the cygwin makefile. Edit it (with vim ;-) (makefiles/Makefile.cygwin) Check that the makefile doesn't contain the -lm parameters into the LIBS settings (it causes a coredump) and add -I and -L parameters in order to help gcc to find the include and libraries files for lesstif if you installed it elsewhere than in /usr/X11R6 (The default install dir of lesstif is /usr/local/LessTiff/) Compile it. From the top directorie of your nedit install. run the command : make cygwin It should compile without any problem. - Don't want ? Download the nedit-win32 into your home directory. - Install the nedit and nc binaries somewhere in your $path. - Check that the FS mount is correct with the "mount" command (it should be). If you see a line that contains something like that : c:\cygnus / user binmode it's ok. If not, you need to mount the file system. To proceed, type this command : mount -f c:/cygnus / (the c:/...... is the correct form for mount) then verify the mount And have fun with your favorite editor *** The minimal Distribution : - Create a c:\nedit directory. - Untar the cygwin dll, the xfree dlls and developer packages into nedit. - Untar the nedit-win32 distribution into the nedit directory. - Move the nedit.exe and nc.exe to c:\nedit\usr\bin\X11R6\bin - Mount the / file system. To proceed, open a dos window then type : cd c:\nedit\usr\bin\ mount c:/nedit / It should be ok now !! Try it using nedit.bat. You can use the shortcuts for a quick acces to nedit. **** Disabling the locale settings The problem with the 2 previous solutions is that you need to download a lot of files and some of these are really huge for a low band internet connexion? And the best crazy is that you need to download the whole developer package (30 Mb) to use only, in the minimal distribution, few kbytes... The third solution is to disable the Xlocale settings in NEdit. I don't know what problem this could cause (a Xlocale guru here ?) So I compiled NEdit with the NO_XMIM parameter (as somebody suggested on the list few weeks ago). I tested it and it works fine, without the need of a any mount neither the Xfree dev package. To install it : - Create a c:\nedit directory - Install the nedit-win32-noxmim distribution into this directory. - Install the cygwin dll and X binaries in the same directory (keep the directory structure). - Move the nedit.exe and nc.exe to c:\nedit\usr\bin\X11R6\bin **** Accessing the discs To access to all your drives, mount them with the command mount : / ex mount -f a: /a You have to do this only once for each drive. In the example above, you can now access on the floppy from your editor with /a/. **** Testing I hope that the "locale" error is no more a problem. I test this only at home on Windows98. But I think that the win32 doesn't matter and it should work on win NT too (hope so) I need some feed back from testers. Please feel free to test one of these installation and let us know as quickly as possible if you have some problems or if it works fine. If this is ok, I'll modify the win32 page @ nedit.org. **** Remarks For the future, I don't know if we must provide 2 versions, the minimal with the NO_XMIM flag on, the other without it. Any opinion ? Another question : I don't know the exact policy but is it possible to distribute only the locale lib instead of the entire develop Package ?. And now, the challenge .... who will be the 1st to develop and publish the DOS and C# patterns ? ;-)))) Have fun !! Christian.

There definitely seems to be something going on with the -screen option and I've tried to play with it. What is the correct invocation? If I leave it out completely: start Xwin -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 I get the same "Direct Draw Init Failed" as before. If I leave out "-screen 8" but leave in 1024x768x16 start Xwin 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 I get what looks like a syntax error from Xwin. Black windows for xterm.exe and vtwm.exe go up but disappear after 10 seconds or so, probably because they don't find an X server to connect to. If I try (I don't know why this should work, and it doesn't...) start Xwin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 I get a grey X screen with the black small "X" cursor in the middle, and after a second or two an outline of a window (probably an xterm) shows up in the lower right quarter of the screen. But as soon as I press the mouse key the whole grey X screen goes away.

Suhaib's idea, start xwin :0 fails with the "Direct Draw Init Failed" error I had before. I assume this has to do with the default screen resolution of XWin, since the output says among other things pwin->width = 00000500 pwin->height = 00000400 so it's apparently trying to create a 1280x1024 Xserver on a 1024x768 display (my laptop is set up with 1024x768 resolution). Hajime Murao's script fails with the same problem I had described also in my previous posting (copied at the bottom of this posting) -- as soon as I press a mouse button it's all over. I've played with the start-up scripts and if I put X applications with a specific -geometry they actually show up on my screen. So I've seen a functioning xterm with a shell running in it (although it didn't respect the colors I set with -fg and -bg -- it came up with some strange, garish colors for some reason). The mouse moves as it should. But as soon as I press a mouse key, the whole X background dies and I'm back in the Windows NT interface. The Xwin program is still running and I have to kill it. Any ideas? Once it's solved I'd be happy to write it up for others so they can avoid the problem! The mouse problem is a killer but I'd like to solve the color problem too...

That's why I didn't put "&" at the end of line executing vtwm in my script. But, it seems not the problem in your case but seems like Alexander's problem discussed in the thread of "XWin cant lock the screen". Are you using any non-regular driver related to mouse or display? What will happen when changing the acceleration level in the display property? Concerning about the color problem, aren't you still trying to run X server in 16bit depth mode? I remember the article in which someone said it doesn't work well else in 8bit depth mode. Regards, ---------- Hajime MURAO, Kobe University A professional? No, I am not professional.

It seems working well on my computer but you must not trust it completely since it is really a quick hack. One important feature missing is it does'n t work with English (and any other type of) keyboard. I know it is better to support both or more type of keyboard by just one executable but I don't implement the feature for now since I don't have any good idea of how to detect the keyboard type from inside of the X server. Maybe environmental variables are useful. Anyway, I am satisfied with a result of my small work. Regards, ---------- Hajime MURAO, Kobe University A professional? No, I am not professional.

I validate html files using http://validator.w3.org/ , and while the docbook files look kinda funny in source, bar the missing doctype declaration they seem a-ok. I have put as the doctype for the ones you sent over before. Lastly can you supply the source for the document (the current or a newer revision)?

If anything looks weird just drop a note to the list. * I've put the World Wide Web Consortium html validation logo on the pages, as they now meet the HTML 4.0 Transitional spec. (Redhat folk: if the logos are a bad idea this is bad just let me know and I'll remove them asap.) * I've tried to make the pages look-n-feel a little more like the main cygwin ones, without breaking the layout too much. If anyone who is a graphics wiz wants to break the gimp out and do a cygwin/xfree logo like the cygwin home page logo, I think that's be neat. * The CSS coding in the pages is not quite up to spec as I haven't dug into that properly yet. Again if you notice anything weird (particularly if you use netscape <6) drop a note to the list. I've tried to be pretty generic whilst still getting it 'just so'. I haven't sorted through the recent mailing list messages for FAQ fodder, but I've got them in a folder, and in my next burst of free time.....

I'll look into the doctype declaration, but I think it may have something to do with the Norman Walsh style-sheets... probably not something I can control. Also, the SGML source already has a document type definition for DocBook, like the following: I'll look into it though. Oh, I'm going to release the sources as soon as I've had a chance to look at the DocBook tools that Cygwin uses to compile their SGML; you may have noticed that my HTML files have non-meaningful names, I believe that the Cygwin tools will give the HTML files meaningful names, but I think I have to modify the source slightly to use the tools.

I am using Robert's post as an example, and I believe that I have seen similar posts. The following messages are printed during failed startups of X (and some successful ones): pwin->width=00000500 pwin->height=00000400 pwin->bitsPerPixel=00000010 Guess what? Those are hexadecimal values; converting them to decimal gives: pwin->widht=1280 pwin->height=1024 pwin->bitsPerPixel=16 When you run 'start Xwin -screen 0 800x600x16' you get the following messages: pwin->width=00000320 pwin->height=00000258 pwin->bitsPerPixel=00000010 Again, converting to decimal yields: pwin->width=800 pwin->height=600 pwin->bitsPerPixel=16 Running 'start Xwin -screen 8 800x600x16' gives the following messages, converted to decimal: pwin->width=1280 (yes, 1280, that's not a typo) pwin->height=1024 pwin->bitsPerPixel=16 Had I only bothered to convert those hex values I would have noticed that the default 'screen 8' parameter was having absolutely no effect on the resolution and color depth that the X/Server tried to use. Heh, and I could have figured out what was going on without digging around in the source :) Cheers, Harold From Harold@compasstechnologies.com Wed Sep 27 22:08:00 2000 From: Harold@compasstechnologies.com (Harold Hunt) Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 22:08:00 -0000 Subject: Direct Draw Init Failed - How To Fix!!! Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05410A6C1@ENTERPRISE> For all of you that get the "Direct Draw Init Failed" message, listen up. You're problems are entirely due to not overriding the default graphics settings used by Cygwin/XFree86. I got poking around in the source code tonight and uncovered this little treasure: #define WIN_DEFAULT_WIDTH 1280 #define WIN_DEFAULT_HEIGHT 1024 #define WIN_DEFAULT_DEPTH 16 Hmm... default resolution of 1280x1024 at 16 bits per pixel? No wonder so many people get the "Direct Draw Init Failed" message: their graphics card and monitor combination cannot support 1280x1024x16; not many monitors and video cards can support that resolution and depth. Okay, so you've tried to fix the problem by passing different parameters to 'start Xwin' to no avail. The syntax for the screen resolution and color depth are like so: Xwin -screen SCREEN-NUMBER WIDTHxHEIGHTxBITS-PER-PIXEL The Cygwin/XFree86 tarballs ship with a file 'startxwin.bat' that has the following line: start Xwin -screen 8 1024x768x16 Now, you've always seen screen 0 on your UNIX machines, right? What is screen 8? Well, it simply does not exist; you are only running one X/Server, so your screen number is going to be zero. Notice that changing the height, width, and color depth for screen 8 will have no effect on window sizes/colors; this is because the command line analyzer ignores screen information for screens that do not exist. You need to run your X/Server at a resolution that your monitor and video card can support at 16 bits per pixel. I say 16bpp because X only uses 16 bits per pixel, and the colors look all funky at 32 bits per pixel. Let me suggest one of the two following lines for your 'startxwin.bat' file: start Xwin -screen 0 1024x768x16 (note screen zero) start Xwin -screen 0 800x600x16 (this will work for almost every monitor and video card out there) Happy X'ing!

Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05410A6BF@ENTERPRISE> For all of you that get the "Direct Draw Init Failed" message, listen up. You're problems are entirely due to not overriding the default graphics settings used by Cygwin/XFree86. I got poking around in the source code tonight and uncovered this little treasure: #define WIN_DEFAULT_WIDTH 1280 #define WIN_DEFAULT_HEIGHT 1024 #define WIN_DEFAULT_DEPTH 16 Hmm... default resolution of 1280x1024 at 16 bits per pixel? No wonder so many people get the "Direct Draw Init Failed" message: their graphics card and monitor combination cannot support 1280x1024x16; not many monitors and video cards can support that resolution and depth. Okay, so you've tried to fix the problem by passing different parameters to 'start Xwin' to no avail. The syntax for the screen resolution and color depth are like so: Xwin -screen SCREEN-NUMBER WIDTHxHEIGHTxBITS-PER-PIXEL The Cygwin/XFree86 tarballs ship with a file 'startxwin.bat' that has the following line: start Xwin -screen 8 1024x768x16 Now, you've always seen screen 0 on your UNIX machines, right? What is screen 8? Well, it simply does not exist; you are only running one X/Server, so your screen number is going to be zero. Notice that changing the height, width, and color depth for screen 8 will have no effect on window sizes/colors; this is because the command line analyzer ignores screen information for screens that do not exist. You need to run your X/Server at a resolution that your monitor and video card can support at 16 bits per pixel. I say 16bpp because X only uses 16 bits per pixel, and the colors look all funky at 32 bits per pixel. Let me suggest one of the two following lines for your 'startxwin.bat' file: start Xwin -screen 0 1024x768x16 (note screen zero) start Xwin -screen 0 800x600x16 (this will work for almost every monitor and video card out there) Happy X'ing! Harold P.S. If this fixes your problems, please post to the list; especially you Windows 9Xers that have not been able to launch X previsouly. Thanks.

Although it could simply be a tarball available from the website, I think having it under direct CVS control as expanded source would be a good idea. What's the best place in CVS to put it? Also do you have a preference as to whether distribution of the source is made available via ftp or http? We're talking only 80kb of tar.gz at this point.

I agree not many monitors and video cards support this. Unfortunately I have GeForce2 GTS and a EMC 21 monitor with support more then 1600x1200 at 32-bit display. I guess that is the reason the settings got hardcoded in source code. During development I must have been experimenting with the high resolution for my monitor and forgot to reverse it defaults which XFree96 uses on Linux for normal monitors.

It works great. Now, the problems : foreign keyboard, but no only i think. Using xev, i can se that some keys are mapped to the same keycode. For example, "print screen" is the same that the multiply on numpad. Both keys send "63". Idem with all numpad and the arrows/Insert/del ... I have also one key wich isn't mapped : the key "<", second raw from down, second column from the left, just between "left shift" and "w". (French keyboard). Is it only me (froggy's 105 keys keyboard), or some others have the same effects (try with xev). Thanks CU. . \)|(/ .

I'm looking at what should be the code for Xwin.exe in the xfree86 cvs tree xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/. Is that the correct directory? Are the CVS files up to date? The time stamps on the files in that directory are all 8/10/2000. If been poking around and I'm realizing that map_dx_fb() from ntux_xf.c is deprecated. winAllocateFramebufferMemory() in InitOutput.c has commented out calls to map_dx_fb() that were replaced with a call to winDXAllocateFramebufferMemory() of xf_xf.dll (at least indirectly of that dll). ntux_xf.c contains support functions that should not be used in xwin.exe, as all calls to map_dx_fb() are all commented out; well, excepting the call to map_dx_fb() in main() of ntux_xf.c, which I am guessing is not used, as renaming the xmap.sys file that main() attempts to load does not affect the behavior of the x server. The support functions in ntux_xf.c all revolve around using IOControls and a shared memory frame buffer, not DirectX. The support functions use functions from the Win32 API that only work on WinNT, as they are not supported on Windows 9X: CreateService() ControlService() DeleteService() StartService(), etc. I'm wondering if the main() function of ntux_xf.c gets called at some point and inadvertantly tries to call the service functions on Windows 98 machines, thus causing a crash. I did a dumpbin -imports on xwin.exe and all of the service funtions, as well as iocontrol functions, are linked to the executable, thus enabling the possibility of a failed call attempt. I haven't setup a build environment for xwin.exe, so I can't test my theory yet. However, I would like to know if my thinking that the service and iocontrol functions are no longer needed.

Message-ID: <896908DA55C4D311B9C000C04F01A05410A6C8@ENTERPRISE> I've been investigating why Cygwin/XFree86 does not work on Windows 9X. It turns out that Xwin, at startup, obtains access to the memory buffer that is being displayed on the screen; to do this you have to lock the frame buffer, prohibiting other applications and the GDI from writing to the frame buffer at the same time as your code. Xwin locks the primary surface frame buffer at startup and does not release it until shutdown. GDI functions, on WinNT, silently fail when the primary surface frame buffer is locked; the primary surface is the buffer of what is currently being displayed on the screen. However, on Windows 9X, locking the primary surface frame buffer causes the Win16Mutex to be obtained, which freezes the GDI and USER code, as described in the MSDN Library: "Limit your application's activity while a surface is locked. While a surface is locked, DirectDraw often holds the Win16Mutex (also known as the Win16Lock) so that gaining access to surface memory can occur safely. The Win16Mutex serializes access to GDI and USER dynamic-link libraries, shutting down Windows for the duration between the IDirectDrawSurface7::Lock and IDirectDrawSurface7::Unlock calls." I can think of a couple possible ways to avoid a permanent lock of the primary surface frame buffer: 1) Rewrite the X/Server graphics calls to use the GDI instead of a frame buffer. Difficulty: ? 2) Rewrite the X/Server graphics calls to use NT device driver and 98 device driver graphics calls instead of a frame buffer. Peter Busch has started this, but he doesn't have time to work on it right now. Difficulty: Not too bad. 3) Rewrite the X/Server graphics calls to use DirectX graphics calls instead of a frame buffer; lock the primary surface at the beginning of each graphics call and unlock it at the end of each graphics call. Difficulty: ? I'm going to investigate #2 further since Peter has already setup the framework for it.

However, someone has removed the 'xvinfo' directory and failed to update the build files; so, when make tries to enter 'xvinfo' it cannot, so it leaves the programs directory and goes on to the fonts directory. Work around, until the build files are fixed: create an xvinfo directory, as such, xc/programs/xvinfo/. That keeps make from bombing and allows it to continue on to the Xserver directory. Harold
