I also followed the instruction on the web to download XFree86 4.0. I also downloaded the xfig package. I also have exceed running on my laptop. I believe the exceed which I am using supports X11R6. I am not sure if that exceed version supports X11R6.3 or X11R6.4. The document just says it supports X11R6. I lauched exceed and then launched the Cygwin shell. I set DISPLAY to localhost:0.0. When I lauched xterm or xfig, it is complaining: "Failed to open input method." and then it does a core dump and exits. When I lauch xclock, it is ok and the clock is ticking. I am not sure what is wrong, please advise. Also,I could not find "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" file in the download directory for XFree86 4.0. Please advise on this as well. -- Sincerely, Weilian From james@verge-rpg.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: james@verge-rpg.com (Arek (James Potts)) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: More Compile Problems References: <000f01c0b92f$4a282400$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <001e01c0b943$6c216850$0100a8c0@vergebbs> I have been having problems compiling XFree86 from source for some time now.

I tried reducing the resolution and bit depth and still no luck. I checked that I have TCP/IP connectivity and even tried setting the DISPLAY to my ip address instead of 127.0.0.1. I can ping any of these addresses but the xterm comes back with a message that it is unable to connect to display. Noticed that a couple of people reported similar problem but could find no resolution for it in the FAQs. Xterm comes back with Xt: Unable to connect to display 127.0.0.1:0. Same thing with twm. After mucking around for some time, I tried the following. I connected to a remote machine and launched twm and an xterm in the remote machine setting the DISPLAY as my local win2k laptop's ip address:0. This seemed to work just fine and I could connect to the Xfree server on my laptop. I also ran Exceed on my local machine and used the xterm that came with XFree to connect to the Exceed server. Again, the xterm comes back with a message that it is unable to connect to display as before. Any pointers?

If you a "test7" keyword search on Cygwin/Xfree86 mail archives you will hot his post. .xinitrc will not run because, in fact, x-server did not run on your Win98SE. ;-) Win9x/me use Mutex16 from Eve and Adam times, while Win NT and Win2K use Mutex from Bill Clinton Presidency time. We are using 32 bit Mutex to get a surface lock and so-called Microsoft 32-bit Win9x/Me which are cluttered with 8-bit crap cannot get a proper lock of the surface. Harold is working on fixing this problem but no time frame when a final and stable version will be available. Suhaib > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon S.

Suhaib. -----Original Message----- From: SLS To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sent: 2/21/2001 12:50 PM Subject: RE: xfree86 runs but programs can't connect to it I experienced this exact same situation and reading some of these posts, knowing I had just installed a VPN it looked like the culprit to me. After a fresh Win NT 4, sp 6 install and then cygwin / xfree install everything came up fine (meaning I could start Xwin without recieving the error). Then loading the VPN software reimposed the 'Can't connect to host' error. This VPN is by Aventail corp., "Connect 3.1 for Windows". The vpn was configured to secure all traffic to a network and pass everything else untouched, obviously it is not quite leaving other traffic untouched. However there is an option to only secure traffic originating from specific applications and ignore others - selecting Netscape and telnet as the only 'secured' applications solved the problem and X starts up as it did prior to installing the VPN. Now I can access secured servers from my Sun workstation through a Win NT laptop over the VPN. HTH The Windows NT/2000 dual boot (actually quadruple boot, with Win ME, and RH 7.0 Linux) I do Cygwin/XFree86 development work and testing, at home, has CheckPoint VPN Client installed and I never had this problem. Therefore I suspect VPN client is not an issue. I believe problem is somewhere else on your windows. How about setting up in Control panel under System-->ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0? Rebboting then.

I finally got XFree to work with Cygwin on NT4 SP6a. It's really neat, and Suhaib and the other developers deserve a lot of thanks :^) I'm not sure how I fixed the problem, but this is what I did to get it working for archival purposes: 1.) Followed directions for installing Cygwin and XFree in the Installation How-to ( http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/docs/howto/book1.htm ). 2.) In addition, installed xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 from xc-4-binaries. 3.) Installed the latest drivers for my old 4MB Matrox Mystique PCI video card from the manufacturer's web site. 4.) XFree still didn't run. It seemed not to switch video "contexts" to XFree properly -- I still had the MS Windows arrow mouse cursor on the screen when I ran XFree. Some posts to the list suggested lowering the resolution and color depth of the Xwin.exe process, so I tried 640x480x8, and then it worked. I then increased the resolution and color depth, and it works all the way up to 1024x768x24 which is what I wanted. Works fine to run X apps locally or over the network. Various posts on the mailing list suggest trying the latest video drivers, then installing the -devel tarball, then trying a low resolution/color depth to see if it'll run at all. This worked for me :^) Thanks to everyone who helped out.

This *is* a frequently asked one, because I asked it to myself maybe a hundred times these last days, when strace would not help anymore than taskman. Here are a few questions besides Xfree: - how can I get the login program to work , under netware + NT4 ? It fails even in local mode. Does it have to be started before the winlogon ? - (maybe offtopic) how to follow symlinks from a drive mounted by ext2fs.sys ? This driver from ext2fsnt-0.4 doesn t resolve the links itself. - do you know a trick to use the DragnDrop filename from the explorer ?

When I run startxwin.bat everything is fine, until I Alt-Tab to another window. When I come back, either X doesn't get any of my mouseclicks and keypresses, or my keyboard starts typing gibberish. FWIW I am running at 1280x1024x24 in windows, and 1280x1024x16 in X, but I get similar problems if I change my windows resolution to 16bpp. Anyone have any ideas? -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6Y119gJlk/lQdbnARAu/0AKCGrB8srAPHxXbhTf6p56jxZ2Gl6ACfYOz9 BqcyzNuGXjs2qg4y+/burP0= =qHiR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From cgf@redhat.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: cgf@redhat.com (Christopher Faylor) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 10 References: <20010326164238.E1243@redhat.com> <001301c0b647$9afd5200$2207640a@holstein-mobile.ASPECTDV.COM> Message-ID: <20010326180309.A2497@redhat.com> On Mon, Mar 26, 2001 at 02:53:42PM -0800, Kevin Wright wrote: >Actually I just checked again and I have the latest cygwin (1.1.8-2). >The only way for me to upgrade would be to get a snapshot.

I use a PS/2 mouse connected to the docking station (and the built-in touchpad when I am on the move). When I start Xfree with startxwin.bat I get a error message in a dialog box: SetDataFormat(SysMouse, dfDIMouse) Error = 80070057(DI_ERR_INVALIDPARAM) And then the X-server start, but my mouse still controls the Windows environment, and I can't move the cursor in X.

It should say : shiftpress, KP7press, KP7release, shiftrelease, like other keys are acting.

By placing cygwin1.dll, libX11.dll and libz.dll (the only DLLs I can see are necessary) in same directory as the application, the application comes as far as trying to open an X-window, when it exits after displaying the message > X Error: Bad Value > Request Major code 18 () > Value 0x0 > Error Serial #10 > Current Serial #17 Am I missing anything?

I've just made apache recognize that if someone says xfree86.cygwin.com they should really go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree . The location for the xfree86 web pages hasn't changed. When I mentioned using cygwin.com I really meant that if you are referring to the cygwin project I'd prefer going using cygwin.com.

I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine which is (for now) a Windows box. I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display layer in Windows but, a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my NVidia GF2MX? b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?

There is an XWin.exe process in the Task Manager's "processes" window, but that's it.

I don't know how Suhaib can assume there's something I haven't read :-) Yes, I have read the LessTif FAQ, and the DDD Makefile has since been fixed to work with Cygwin (as of DDD 3.2.98 and later). Here's the library ordering on my system: -lXm -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXpm -lXp -lXext \ -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lncurses -liberty -lm Compare this to the ordering as specified in the LessTif FAQ - you'll find it's perfectly compliant: -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE Remember: for a bug report, always state what you do, what you expect, and how your experience differs from the expectations. Anything else, including assumptions about the code and its developers, rarely helps.

Also If you haven't run the cygwin setup.exe to install the bits you ahve installed you are missing the mount points in the registry and it won't go. No chance no way.

Belieeeeve me! :] If you can, update to service pack 1. Definately upgrade your video drivers to the manufacturers latest - they seem to be the no 1 cause of problems. Lastly check the startx.bat file, for screen 0 (not screen 8), and try a low res - say 640x480. Once that's working start increasing the resolution to your hearts content.

First, apologies for not scanning the FAQ more carefully. I set XKeysymDB, XErrorDB in my .bashrc file, in startxwin.bat and in C:/AUTOEXEC.BAT. For the last file I even rebooted the machine before invoking startxwin.bat. I am still encountering the same "Unknown keysym name: ..." errors when starting an X/Motif application, and am not getting any responsiveness from the keyboard.

I would rather have no direct references to ftp://sources.redhat.com/ or ftp://cygwin.com/ . Or, rather, I would like to have a nice fat pipe to the internet and not worry about this at all but that is moving at a glacial pace at Red Hat currently. I guess you could make it clear that you are directing someone to a mirror and use RCN. It is very fast. You could also point people to other mirrors if RCN is unacceptable for some reason. Anyplace but sources.redhat.com for now. When I sent this email there were ten people downloading xfree binaries and our T1 was noticeably lagging. I have made some simple global search and replace changes. I can check those in if you want. cgf From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 6 References: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3E11@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> Message-ID: <000701c0b3b7$9bd04a80$2fab0a23@huntharo> It ignores whatever depth you pass on the command line; see, the server runs in a window so it has to use whatever depth Windows is running at, which, in your case, is 32 bpp. I query Windows for the current screen depth, and I added a warning to the user that displays when their command line depth parameter is different than their current screen depth.

The project changes as we move forward and more talented developers, like Harold, join the project. There is a story behind Cygwin/Xfree86 project. On the URl I mentioned, it was my personal idea to port Xfree86 to Windows. That sentence had a story behind it. Two years ago, I was negotiating licenses for 15 workstation from an X-server vendor. I will not mention the names of companies. During negotiations of prices I mentioned to salesman that Xserver prices for Win32 are rediculously high because there is no open source project to compete. In case of linux the commercial Xservers are resonabley priced because of Xfree86 and I might consider porting Xfree86 to Windows. The Salesman laughed at me and said that Xfree86 had been around since 20 years if it would have been possible someone may had done it years ago, that was why there were no Opensource projects for Win32. I started fooling around with X11R6.4 and XFree86 3.3.x and learn a lot about the differences between two. Speaking of comments a year and a half ago we had only libraries available and we had only 40 members on this list. Whenever someone asked when would be the first functional X-server avialble I said I did not know. Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: 'Andreas Eibach' Cc: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 3/25/2001 11:58 AM Subject: Explanation of Shadow Framebuffer Test 7 vs. (old) Offscreen Test 7 Ah, a very good question. I made the comment that there would not be a framebuffer based X server for Windows 95/98/Me before I knew about the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer was written by Keith Packard and is located in the XFree86 CVS tree under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadow/. To use shadow framebuffer you allocate an offscreen (shadow) framebuffer and tell your painting code, be it fb, mfb, or one of the cfbs, to paint to the offscreen framebuffer. Then you initialize the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer steps in and wraps all of your previous painting functions with functions that keep track of the area updated by each graphics call. Shadow framebuffer also installs its own BlockHandler that calls a shadowUpdateProc (), supplied by you, that transfers the group of updated areas to the screen. You can use any feasible method in your shadowUpdateProc to transfer the updated regions to the screen. Engine 1 uses a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the DIB by creating it with Win32's CreateDIBSection (). Before you start thinking that DIBs must be slow, you should be informed that DIBs are, I believe, the foundation of DirectDraw. Engine 1's shadowUpdateProc () uses the GDI Blt function to transfer the updated (damaged) regions of the shadow DIB to the screen. Engine 2 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the surface by calling IDirectDrawSurface_Lock (). Engine 2's shadowUpdateProc () uses DirectDraw's IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () to transfer the damaged regions of the shadow framebuffer to the screen. However, before each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Unlock (), as you cannot blit from a locked surface. Consequently, after each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Lock () to reobtain a pointer to the memory of our surface. All of the locking and unlocking adds up, thus Engine 3. Engine 3 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface with client allocated memory as the shadow framebuffer. Client allocated memory means that we allocate a block of memory large enough for the DirectDraw surface, then we tell DirectDraw to treat that memory as a surface. We can then call IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () without having to unlock and relock the surface. Therefore, Engine 3 has some pretty amazing performance. Apparently this technique only works with DirectX 6 or higher, thus it will work on Windows 95/98/Me/2000, but it will not work on NT 4.0. Back to your question. When I made my comment I had briefly thought about writing something similar to the shadow framebuffer code, but I knew that I didn't know enough about update regions and X servers in general to pull it off. I also doubted that the performance would be that great. I started writing a native GDI X server instead. There was a big discussion when I asked questions on the XFree86 devel list related to my native GDI server; the debate primarily centered around whether translating X graphics calls into GDI calls would be faster than using the shadow framebuffer code. I asked what the shadow framebuffer was, and that is how we got here. My old offscreen test 7 did all drawing to an offscreen surface, in a manner similar to how the shadow framebuffer works. However, I had no way to keep track of which, if any, regions of the offscreen framebuffer had been updated. Therefore I decided that fifteen times per second I would transfer the entire offscreen framebuffer to the screen, regardless of whether any of the offscreen framebuffer had been changed. Offscreen test 7 was clearly not ideal; to make it ideal would be to reimplement the shadow framebuffer code. So, that is difference between the old offscreen test 7 and the new shadow framebuffer test 7, and I made my remark because I didn't know of a feasible method of writing a framebuffer based server for Windows 95/98/Me at the time :) I will continue to work on the native GDI server, as there is only one way to answer the performance debate once and for all :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold Hunt From lynnhill@dcemail.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: lynnhill@dcemail.com (Lynn Hill) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: I had an idea Message-ID: <907de075a8042ae11c02028a91eff143@NO-ID-FOUND.mhonarc.org> We went to your site http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/xfree/ Taking credit cards either in person or over the Internet is the cash income solution for today's businesses.

Test 10 is dependent on ddraw.dll, but ddraw.dll is included with Windows NT 4.0 with SP3 or greater. You may need to reinstall your service pack though, as installing applications after a service pack can break the DLL dependencies on your system.

I just discovered the root of the problem, although the fix will not be in my next release, which is coming up shortly. Basically, it breaks down like this: InitOutput () currently initializes the pixmap formats. InitOutput uses whatever depth was passed on the command line to inititialize the pixmap formats. If you pass the wrong depth, you get the wrong pixmap formats. Later on, in winScreenInit, I correct the depth, but it is too late because the pixmap formats are still incorrect. I'll fix that sometime later this week.

I'll probably need a few weeks, or up to a month to reach the patch submission point, as I want to fix some things and give the code time to be tested, etc. I'll be sure to synchronize any patching with you. Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

I just upgraded from 1.1.4 to 1.1.8 and went from having a working X distribution to one that basically doesn't work. I am using Exceed for the X server and the system is NT4+SP6. I can launch xterm from the command line and it will show up, but if I try to launch xterm (or anything else for that matter) it just sits there, nothing appears. I have upgraded X to the latest binaries. Nothing else seems to be giving me problems. Will new binaries be coming out or should I try to compile it on my own? There is only one cygwin1.dll in my $PATH. If you need any other information let me know. Thank you.

Then I run the install segments, but when I go the /usr/X11R6/* only the libraries are present, not very many executable binaries. Compiling Xfree86 under a Unix environment by doing: make World && make Install && make Install.man will create all the binaries needed to run X. Is there a step that I am missing in regards to this distro of X? Step I am taking: 1) Rename site-cygwin.def to site.def 2) In ~/xc make World 3) make install 4) make install.man And that is it, nothing else is done as there is nothing to run. I know doing the same with the code from X.Org will only produce the libraries, and only a few exec's similar to what is happening in this case.

Can someone tell me > why colors work okay in 8-bit, but not in "deeper" screens? > In 8 bit color depth, a palette is used. This means all 256 colors are alocated in the XServer. Whenever an application requests a color (eg. #ffff00, which is yellow), the XServer returns an index for the palette which points to a color close to the requested. All later painting uses only this index. in 16 bit mode, the pixel value is calculated from the color values for red, green and blue. I believe the pixel value is constructed by using the most significant 6bit from the blue value and 5bit from the green and red value. This pixel value is then written to memory of the videocard. The DAC of the Videocard converts this value back to analoque signals for the CRT. But the back conversion will use 5bit for blue and green and 6 bit for red. I'm sure this difference causes the problem in 16 and 32 bit. 24 bit mode should be optimal since the conversion is quite simple here. I think, i should take a look at the sources, to find out what really happens in the XServer. cu ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement References: <000601c09ead$a96fef70$21ab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: <00c201c09eb4$f5370720$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> Do you want that mirrored onto the cygwin site? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold Hunt" To: "Cygx (E-mail)" Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2001 9:03 AM Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement > I have thrown together a web page for the Test 7 release. > > The page includes instructions, warnings, a description of operations, links > to the compiled files and source, and screenshots. > > We can now refer anyone with questions about Test 7 to the web page: > > http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/test7/ > > Harold > > From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 3 Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3E00@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> The access violation coredump happens sometimes, if DLLs are not in PATH.

By integrated I really mean the X screen size == windows screen size at startup time, with a transparent background that allows the windows desktop to be visible, and clicking on a window window pops it to the front. I'm not terribly concerned re clip boards and cutting and pasting (I don't think _any_ effort should be put into that under X - the /dev/clipboard in cygwin is a good start and if that were to be finished, XFree86 would get it for free. ) In fact once I've finished pthreads I _may_ look at the clipboard stuff (yes I admit it, I'm a sucker for punishment). So in summary: * No new window manager needed :] * /dev/clipboard is 1/2 there already Rob From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 14 References: <001d01c0b8df$7f973e50$0a01a8c0@earth> Message-ID: <001001c0b92f$ef380000$2fab0a23@huntharo> The described behavior for Alt_R is the behavior documented by Microsoft for that key on non-US enhanced keyboards.

If Linux generates the same messages for Alt_R, then the messages are generated by the keyboard and the behavior is correct; if Linux generates different messages for Alt_R, then the messages that you see are generated by Windows and I will need to modify the message sequence for Alt_R.

At least it now works using mwm from lesstif. The XFce port does not work, I get a lot of gdk errors. I used the precompiled of that (I used it everyday and it worked up until I upgraded cygwin today).

I can't but help think it may be an environment issue since it only happens when I try to lanuch a xterm through the rsh daemon. Are there any particular envirnoment variables that need to be set ? The only one I know of ( apart from having the path set up corectly ) is SYSTEMROOT which needs to be set to point at the winnt directory ( im runing on win2k ) I have made the xterm start throught the rsh daemon by running the following however: rsh ntxserver "/cygwin/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe /c ""xterm -display mymachine:0 -e bash""" I also have another problem, most of the time when I type exit the xterm goes to 100cpu usage and hangs, however if I click on the 'x' in the top right of the window instead to close it, it hasn't hang yet. This also seems to happen with rxvt. Unfotuantly I havent been able to reproduce this when running it through strace.

Let me explain a little more on the fact occured on my ThinkPad. I tried to excerpt a skelton of startup operations from libX as follows: socket() connect(); fcntl( ..., F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC ); writev(); and I found the last "writev" failed ( perror might say "Invalid argument" ), however, when I commented out the "fcntl" line, then it worked fine. According to the above fact, I doubted the "fcntl" system call in cygwin.dll but not libX. But, as you mentioned, it might be a special case occured in (my) ThinkPad. I will attach the skelton code I used in the test of communication to Xserver, and I hope this wouldn't violate mailing-list rules. Thank you for the great job on porting X environments to Windows.

It works without craching on both systems. The Dell has cygwin 1.1.5 installed and is running Windows 98. The laptop has the latest cygwin as of last week (1.1.8) and is also running Windows 98. I compiled fvwm2 against the Cygwin/XFree86 and it worked out of the box. I did not have to make a single mod! I have noted two problems. The first is when I run Emacs from a remote Linux box the Alt key is not mapped to the Meta key. I assume that this is an Xserver configuration issue. Could someone give me a hint how to setup the proper mapping? The second problem happens while running fvwm2. Using the system.fvwm2rc which is shipped with fvwm2, I have the focus in the upper left virtual screen. When I move the mouse through the Icon Manager, the focus often changes to one of the lower virtual screens. This even happens if my Cygwin/Xfree86 window is not on top. I have also tried running fvwm2 from a remote Linux box, using Cygwin/XFree86 as my display server and it exhibits the same problem.

I installed it so i can run OpenDX on my fastest machine which is (for now) a Windows box. I do have a couple fo questions though. I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of how the X server interacts with the underlying display layer in Windows but, a) Can i expect to get hardware OpenGL under Cygwin/XFree86 with my NVidia GF2MX? b) I know the colour is screwed up in modes >8 bit colour depth. Is there any way of fixing this in a binary-only install, or is it definitely necessary to patch the source and recompile?

I am convinced because of the following reasons: 1) Client exits that cause XWin.exe to crash do not result in an STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, indicating that the crash is not a problem caused by an invalid memory pointer. 2) Client exits that cause XWin.exe to crash do not result in a call to AbortDDX (), ddxGiveUp (), or FatalError (). This indicates that some code, somewhere, is calling exit (). 3) The last Windows message I see is either a key release or a mouse button release; I never see a WM_QUIT, WM_DESTROY, WM_CLOSE, or any other strange message. I even modified the window processing loop to output the code for *every* message it received; the last messages I get are completely normal. 4) winWakeupHandler returns correctly from the last call that it processes. 5) When I fixed a typo in xc/programs/Xserver/os/WaitFor.c, client exits that crashed into an infinite loop seemed to get less likely. Now, the error may or may not actually be in my code; however, I need someone to convince me otherwise :) I need a talented debugger to tell me what function XWin.exe is in when it exits. Any takers? Also, I need someone to run a leak checker against XWin.exe. Well, let me know if you are interested :) Harold From daniele.disco@virgilio.it Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: daniele.disco@virgilio.it (daniele.disco@virgilio.it) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: cygwin.def - site.cygwin Message-ID: <20010314103606.HIVL21412.fep45-svc.tin.it@[212.48.4.50]> I try to show in a better way the sitation. Fist of all I make a mistake the file is not cygwin.def but site.cygwin The main idea is to compile on WIN NT4 Xfree86 using cygwin. I downloaded the tar related to the source code (Xfree86 ver. 4.0.1) and reading FAQ, I changed in the directory xc/config/cf the cygwin.def file in site.def. In the xc directory using the command make World > world.log I compiled the source code. I obtained several errors. In this mail-list Suhaib Siddiqi suggested to use the source present in the CVS repository where these problems there aren't. When I downloaded the code from the CVS in the xc/config/cf directory I didn't find the cygwin.def file and then I sent a request to this list asking if I have to do same change before compiling. The same Suhaib Siddiqi said me to change site.cygwin in site.def and something related to host.cygwin Where I can find these file? Thanks Daniele > > > Daniele, > > Where is the error showing up?

I ported glib-1.2.8 and gtk+1.2.8 on cygwin, and is available at http://my.dreamwiz.com/jbdoll/ (shared versions only...) (without thread functions...) glib-1.2.8 may not stable. Even though 'make check' results "All 11 tests passed!", it needs guru's touch to work correctly on cygwin... I have tested examples included in gtk+-1.2.8 source, and all worked fine with Xfree. I hope a expert release stable versions of those. Jong B.

It most likely has to do with a lack of available memory or a particular bitfield format not being supported by the running version of Windows. We can't do much to help people with low memory, but we can figure out what bitfield formats are supported by the running version of Windows by querying Windows as to which formats it supports; alas, you can't just ask Windows what formats it supports, you have to go through a series of steps in creating a dummy bitmap that will eventually yield the bitfield format that the display is currently using. I'll probably go write that code now, since it seems that we can't handle the bitfield format with a simple default :) Harold From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: startup problems Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3C59@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> > I am running NT4 on a Dell Optiplex GXa and have cygwin...b20 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Upgrade to latest Cygwin PLEASE.

I'm not suggesting you give up - I'm suggesting that _if you haven't run setup.exe_ that you _will need to do so_ before trying to isolate the minimum install needed. I'm sure it is possible to run a slim line install of cygwin. Equally I'm sure that it will require some registry entries (for the mount table) and will likely require things like /etc/passwd to be present. To re-iterate more clearly: 1) start with a clean pc. 2) install _all_ of cygwin. (well you can skip obvious things like gcc & squid). 3) install xfree86 as per Harold Hunt's howto (available via www.cygwin.com/xfree86). 4) when xfree86 is working... carry on 5) pick a package (or if you're into binary searchs, pick n/2 packages where n is the count of installed packages). 6) remove the package you selected by running setup again. 7) test xfree86.

Let me emphasize it: The Cygwin mount points are needed. When compiling Xfree86 the /usr mount point is hard coded in cygwin.cf, it can be changed to whatever you like during compilation but it cannot be eliminated at all - that means a mount point must exist. Second: the X libraries also use the /dev/tty and /dev/zero mount points. Without proper mount points, a user will get errors either during application startup or during shutdown/abort process.

I have successfully installed Cygwin and the XWin server on my NT 4.0 system (NT 4.0 [Build 1381 SP 6a], Gateway E-5200, 3DLabs Video adapter [GLINT R3/Oxygen VX1], Dell Trinitron [P1110] monitor) It's great! It's Fast! It's color confused. It behaves as if the red/blue inputs are reversed. By this I mean that an "xsetroot -solid red" gives a blue background, "xsetroot -solid blue" gives a red background, while "xsetroot -solid green" gives a green background. But it isn't that simple, because "xsetroot -solid dimgray" (which is defined in rgb.txt as "105 105 105") gives a steelblue sort of color. It is NOT monitor nor adapter-to-monitor cable dependant, as I have switched both of those with no change in behavior.

If so, then I can add DDE to the feature wish list. So you have Purify... We're having a problem with the test servers that I have been releasing where exiting from an xterm or Ctrl-C'ing a program that was running in a terminal will cause either the xterm to enter an infinite loop, or it will cause XWin.exe to exit. When XWin.exe exits in these cases it doesn't call any of the normal shutdown routines, nor does it display any error message whatsoever. My theory is that some portion of the code is calling exit (), but the XFree86 source tree is a couple hundred megabytes, so I'd like to at least have a function name to start looking around in. Can Purify help find the function that is calling exit ()?

I've gone on a coding marathon for the last 14 hours, during which time I implemented a DirectDraw based shadow fb server that can be swapped at runtime with the GDI based shadow fb server. Performance comparison: When dragging an X window (such as an xterm) in the DD server it feels very sluggish and you can actually see the server redrawing things. When dragging an X window in the GDI DIB server the window redraws almost instantaneously and the server feels very snappy. Performance is so varied between DirectDraw and GDI DIB for shadow fb servers because DirectDraw requires that you unlock, or throw away your memory pointer, to the shadow framebuffer before you transfer (blit) the shadow framebuffer to the screen. After a series of blits you must reacquire a pointer to the shadow framebuffer bits so that the 'fb' code can continue painting the screen. However, with GDI DIBs you do not have to throw away your memory pointer when you blit the shadow fb to the screen, resulting in a much more responsive server. I didn't really expect DirectDraw to be faster for the shadow framebuffer server, but I was kinda surprised at how much slower it turned out to be. Not to fear though, as the DirectDraw coding I did will translate almost directly to the next feature for the server: on Windows NT/2000 we will use DirectDraw to write directly to the primary framebuffer, as the current stable release does. The test server will detect your version of Windows at startup, then it will use GDI DIBs with a shadow fb for Widnows 95/98/Me (as the current test server does), while it will use a DirectDraw primary framebuffer for Windows NT/2000. The resulting server will run on all versions of Windows and will deliver the maximum performance that a particular version of Windows is capable of. As a side note, I will keep the DirectDraw shadow fb code in the server and I will add a command line option to force the server to use the DirectDraw shadow fb code. That will allow people to experiment for themselves; perhaps we'll get some different results on different video cards and processors. That's all for now, I'll release the code for said server tomorrow, Harold Hunt From alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: alexander.gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de (Alexander Gottwald) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 9 References: <000201c0b604$a5f67210$2fab0a23@huntharo> Message-ID: On Mon, 26 Mar 2001, Harold Hunt wrote: > Did you update your Cygwin/XFree86 installation to 4.0.3? > Yes, at least the xfree-dll and xfree-xwin.

I believe the same goes for cygwin-apps.... I'm very interested in fixing what I consider a problem: People attempting to use non-cygwin threads support with cygwin1.dll linked applications. As such I'm hereby solicting bug reports (with _small_ test cases) for the pthreads support in cygwin. I'm making no promises about actually fixing anything or time frames - My paid work and personal life do come before cygwin (shock & horror). Notwithstanding that, I have recently fixed a chunk of functionality in cygwin for another opensource project I hack on (squid) and it's pthread based asynchronous disk module runs quite happily. So if you're an application porter, and pthreads doesn't work for you - contact me on the appropriate cygwin list (cygwin-apps unless it's xfree86 related, in which case cygwin-xfree, or cygwin-developers if you are trying to use pthread support within cygwin1.dll and it's broken). Chris: I hope I'm not stepping across a line here ... but no-one seems to have current "ownership" of pthreads, and I'd like to see cygwin actually get fixed rather than a plethora of workarounds created..

(And let the graphics card accelerate as >much as possible..?) That is not a silly question. I originally set out to implement a GDI based non-framebuffer server; currently I have code that draws the familiar X background upon startup, but it does little else; that code has been in each of the Shadow FB test releases. Implementing a native X Server is not simple task, there are lots of functions to implement and each function has to be correct else you get garbled output and maybe even crashes. When originally implementing the GDI server I used lots of dirty tricks, like hard coding pixel values when drawing lines of certain types, using global variables for device contexts, etc., as I had no idea if the visual format I had chosen was correct and I had no idea how to use screen privates; I also had no idea what pixel values in X corresponded to which colors in Windows. I needed to get the visual formats, color mapping, and parameter passing correct before I went any further. The easiest way to set the correct visual formats, color mapping, and parameter passing was to implement a shadow framebuffer based server using the GDI blitter and frob the visual formats until the colors displayed correctly :) In essence, I have been building the foundation for a GDI based server. I will go back to coding the GDI based non-framebuffer server once I am satisfied that the shadow framebuffer and primary framebuffer servers are stable. I believe that I now know enough to correctly implement a GDI based server.

Also, I have to point out, that Cygwin licensing still enters into all of this, if you are planning on distributing this stand-alone application. You will have to provide the sources for the DLL and accomodate the X licensing policies if you are distributing this to anyone.

The error messages were about the "Unknown Commutator /B" in the startxwin.bat. Not knowing what to do about it, I replaced it with the /max commutator. I also replaced vtwm by twm (because I could find vtwm). And then I had to reboot Windows... Finally I got it working by only starting twm (commenting out the xterm and rxvt from startxwin.bat). I can then start xterm from twm. I still get an MSDOS window that opens when the twm is started, is the /B used to avoid this? is it a problem ? what commutator should I use ?

I missed this announcement. Rober is correct. You can't download from sources.redhat.com. You *have* to use a mirror. I changed the xfree pages a while ago to point to a mirror. You'll have to use mirrors for any software announcements just like we do in Cygwin-proper-land. I'm sorry about this state of affairs but the T1 link to sources.redhat.com was getting swamped with cygwin and cygwin-xfree downloads. In fact, in analyzing the download behavior, what was really annoying was that people seemed to be downloading the same thing multiple times sometimes at the same time! cgf From lyman@bcsisims.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: lyman@bcsisims.com (Lyman Neuschaefer) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Text fields in X/Motif applications non-editable Message-ID: Greetings, The cygwin X-Server XWin.exe starts up fine on my Win NT 4.0 SP5 workstation.

Nice, you compiled the libX11.dll with a broken Display and broken Xtrans socket. This is not a fix. The problem lies not with Cygwin.dll, but with you ThnkPad.

I have it running now will check if crashes still occur. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3752 349 80 80 From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 11 Message-ID: <000d01c0b7e9$3927b360$2fab0a23@huntharo> I just posted Test 11 to my usual announcement page: http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/ Test 11 is compiled with the Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 source code; you must have Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.3 installed before you install Test 11. Changes: 1) Keyboard input distinquishes between right and left Shift, Control, and Alt keys. 2) Added key maps for Help, Select, Clear, and language mode switches. The language mode key codes are probably incorrect, but having them at least cause an input event will allow people to map them to the correct symbol for their language. 3) Numeric keypad Enter causes an XK_KP_Enter instead of XK_Return. Tomorrow I may fix the NumLock and CapsLock keys like I did in the offscreen framebuffer tests of days gone by.

Cygwin itsself runs wonderfull. For the download I used the mirror: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus/xfree/xc-4-binaries/ to download the necessary files according to the Installation-Documentation written at: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/xfree/docs/howto/x195.htm But on this mirror (and also on some other mirrors) the file "xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2" was missing. The documentation says: Download the following files from xfree/xc-4-binaries, saving them to the root of your Cygwin installation directory (e.g. c:\cygwin), the uncompressed file size appears after each file; you will need approximately 60MB of disk space to download and uncompress all of these files xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar.bz2 (2.3MB; required, various libraries) xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 (12.5MB; required, X fonts) xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 (17kB; required, defines screen colors) xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar.bz2 (0.9MB; required, terminal emulator) xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar.bz2 (5.6MB; required, DirectX X/Server) xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2 (39MB; optional, additional X utilities, e.g. xhost) I tried XFree without the tar-file, but got a lot of error-messages regarding colours, and at the end the application started with very bad colours. (By the way,after the xterm starts, it does not accept any input, and dissapears short after I press "Enter") Can you give me some hints, where to find the file?

I mentioned already this problem before.t I observed it on a Gateway 2000 with a crystal scan screen. It seems effectively that if one puts the screen conditions under Windows NT different from the one that one indicates in the start Xwin file then you obtain satisfaction. for instance 1024x768 and 16 colors under Win NT and 1024x768x8 for start Xwin -screen 0 1024x768x8 ,then it works fine with 8 depth. I do not get this behaviour on a labtop Dell Latitude C600 running under W2K. As far as it was working under one condition I was happy with that but there is probably a bug somewhere , could be from Windows NT too.

The behavior is only active for xfree86.cygwin.com, so I don't see any urgent need to reconfigure anything. I don't think anyone will be flocking to xfree86.cygwin.com in the next couple of days.

Meanwhile I realised I'd done the cardinal sin of "why don't you do foo" with respect to the clipboard. So I went and did it. (Small code base, nearly flat learning curve)... I've just sent a patch into cygwin-patches that implements text-data and binary-data support for /dev/clipboard in cygwin. That should make your integration quite a bit easier... (assuming it gets accepted). If you want to try it, grab a current cygwin build tree and apply the patch. /dev/clipboard doesn't support seeking (yet) but it does support sequential read and writes. It's a little! slow if you do thousands of small writes (It has to realloc (total size written+new write size) every write because the windows clipboard is _not_ stream based but other than that it's nice and fast. Reads are trivial, as are large writes. It's kinda neat doing cat foo > /dev/clipboard and having it work :] I presume that most X software/the X server/somewhere in there there is support for the concept of /dev/clipboard - so you should be able to just enable that support and rebuild to make use of it. If /dev/clipboard was already active, but lacking cygwin actually handling writes, then just updating the cygwin1.dll will get it going for you.

Heh... I have three reason for working on this project and two of them is similar to Suhaib's reasons. 1) When I was in my introduction to computer science course at Carnegie Mellon I wanted to use an X server on my Windows machine to display X apps running on the computers in the lab. I wanted to use my Windows machine because it had a nicer mouse than my Linux machine, plus then I wouldn't have to juggle keyboards and mice all over the place when I wanted to run X apps. I looked for a free Windows X server but the only one I found was pretty worthless. Ever since then it has been a goal of mine to give all the engineering and computer science students out there a free Windows X server so they don't have to go to the computer labs :) 2) My second goal is world domination for Linux, of course :) Honestly. Linux needs a killer app, but once it gets that killer app it needs a method to slowly penetrate corporate networks. With a free Windows X server an IT manager can give all the Windows users the killer app without having to switch the workstations from Windows to GNU/Linux/KDE/Gnome. After several months/years the people using the killer app will wonder why they can't just have their KDE/Gnome desktop from the X server on their primary computer. That's when corporate workstations start switching to GNU/Linux. :) 3) Commercial Windows X servers for are overpriced. Hopefully the market for commercial Windows X servers has just started to dry up :) Harold Hunt From LeandroD@amdocs.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: LeandroD@amdocs.com (Leandro Dutra) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Error in startxwin.bat Message-ID: <639ACDA029B5D21187000008C7B95663012112A8@bra.amdocs.com> The font name in the rxvt file in startxwin.bat is wrong, Lucidia when it should be Lucida.

Message-ID: <3A635F45.5151C862@bigfoot.com> I'm unable to successfully run xfree86 on a Windows NT system, although the documentation indicates I should be able to do this. The system has Windows NT 4.0 workstation, service pack 6a (which is supposed to have DirectX 3.0). I downloaded & installed cygwin 1.1.7 and xfree86 4.0 (I downloaded the minimal set of xc-4-binaries, according to the doc). Did the setup as the doc says. However, when I attempt to run startxwin.bat, this happens: In the window where XWin is running, the following appears: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb' _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root pwin->width = 00000320 pwin->height = 00000258 pwin->paddedWidth = 00000640 pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010 calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory and then a dialog box appears with Direct Draw Init Failed: Error = 88760078 (uknown error) Does xfree86 require a later DirectX version?

I know. But url's like mirrors page are broken if a user goes to xfree86.cygwin.com. This needs to be fixed one of three ways. 1) turn xfree86.cygwin.com off 2) redo the whole site replace "../mirrors.htm" & similar with " http://www.cygwin.com/mirrors.htm " 3) make the xfree86.cygwin.com return a 301 or 302 HTTP status line & a Location header which will send browsers to " http://www.cygwin.com/xfree86 " > When I mentioned using cygwin.com I really meant that if you are referring to > the cygwin project I'd prefer going using cygwin.com. You can do what you > like with your web page, of course. I understood it the way you describe it. The issue I am referring to is a corollary of moving from a sub-dir on every alias to a domain prefix on one or more alias's.. We currently refer to cygwin.com & sources.redhat.com/cygwin by relative paths, not by absolute URL's. This is much more convenient for mirror sites, and when using aliases (such as cygwin.com & sources.redhat.com/cygwin). I don't want to switch to absolute URL's unless there is a recognised benefit. Suhaib may want the ease of reference for other users that xfree86.cygwin.com may bring - so it's his choice.

I know this isn't a cure, but like I said in my message My *UK* keyboard works as it should, well all except the pound sterling key, but this problem happens in cygwin/bash when it's running inside a commmand prompt window - so it's probably due to something else. I do remember reading a message on the list arhives where someone said that editing one of the .h files (i forget which one) would also provide a 'solution'. Of course what would be best is to just be able to say what type of keyboard u are running and everything else to be worked out for u, but hey u can't have everything, and Win9x will die soon anyway. I just can't wait till the second half of the year when I can get Win2K and starting running the XServer at it's full brilliance. cya Sagar On Tue, 2 Jan 2001, Suhaib Siddiqi wrote: > > OK > but we still have problems with non US keyboards. > > Suhaib > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Collins [ mailto:robert.collins@itdomain.com.au ] > Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2001 5:28 PM > To: Suhaib Siddiqi; cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com > Subject: Re: Keyboard Prob > > > Suhab, > Sagar used Harold's Test7 and it worked.....

It is straight forward, the rules that are needed are: * No relative references outside of the subdomain (ie, mailing list, the mirrors page etc) all need to be http://www.cygwin.com/foo ). * Exception to the above - server files that are mapped into the foo.cygwin.com namespace can be used (ie if you make a unix link at xfree/htdocs/mirrors.html that takes us to the real mirrors.com behind the scenes. * Document all such exceptions clearly. - If you want sub-dir access (www.cygwin.com/xfree) & sub domain access in parallel: * No references to / are allowed in the site. Absolute or .. style uri paths ONLY. - If you want only sub domain access: * All mirror sites need to be explicitly informed of the sub domain. Document this as well so people don't have an expectation that their files will be mirrored. * Try to remove sub-path aliases references once the sub domain is running (remove references to http://www.cygwin.com/xfree - including in your mailing list archives :] ). note that running both sub domain and sub dir helps with mirroring.

I've gone to the Diamond Multimedia web site and gotten the most current NT driver. Still no change in behavior. The web site also had Linux/xfree86 drivers but I can't really use those, since they're all Linux executables. Or is there something I should do with those? I've gone through the list archives and nothing else seems obvious. There was some discussion of xf86config, but several messages indicate that cygwin/xfree86 doesn't need that config file (I assume that DirectX is hiding all the gory details?).

I'm not sure if 24 bpp or 15 bpp works though, cause my display can only do 16 and 32 bpp; 16 and 32 bpp have been tested on my machine. This release has much better chances of working on those problem machines that are out there, so please give it a try. Those of you running at 8 bits per pixel will also notice that I have started working on supporting 8 bits. The server will currently startup in 8 bits per pixel, but it doesn't have the correct colormap yet, so colors are mostly black with some pink and yellow thrown in for fun :) Enjoy, Harold L Hunt From huntharo@msu.edu Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: huntharo@msu.edu (Harold Hunt) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Development Status Update 8 Message-ID: <000101c09a27$e614f8b0$21ab0a23@huntharo> I have been making modest progress on the Windows GDI based Cygwin/XFree86 development; most recently I was able to finally get transparent stipple fills working. Transparent stipple fills turned out to be a little harder than I thought, as they must be decomposed into about 4 raster ops in Windows GDI. I first implemented the transparent stipple fill logic in a stand-alone test program, which worked fine; however, my first run of implementing transparent stipple fills in Cygwin/XFree86 has produced some unexpected results... I'm going to revisit the transparent stipple fill code in a day or two to figure out my error. I should see the familiar X startup background after fixing stipple fills and developing a color translation model for the Windows GDI Cygwin/XFree86 server. At that point I'll probably send out a development snapshot so people can see what I have been up to. I should be resubscribed to the mailing list within a few minutes. My new email address is huntharo at msu daught edu.

I am sorry I do not have control on XFree86.Org CVS, They can decide what to put in CVS. From your mil it seems to me the sample site and host def files are not included, right? XF86 organization does not provide sample site and host def files for other systems. Therefore they must have excluded it. Sample and host def files are highly your system dependent and what you want to do beside standard things. The standard 'MUST" compile stuff and flags are in cygwin.cf files therefore I said you create blank site and host def file and should be able to compile the cygwin/xfree.

I found that the startx.bat file is incomplete. It sets a display variable and does nothing more than that. The startdx.bat file does a bit more. When using this batch file this resulted in errors concerning the whereabouts of the rgb.txt file and the fonts. All of which were in the right place and even if I specified them on the commandline of the server this did not help. Other people on this list have experienced the same (dmg@tragsatec.es). Then on this list someone suggested to use the commercial x-server demo X-Win32 5.1. There is a trail version that works for 30 days (I'm not sure what the URL is) and after that for periods of 2 hours in a row. Since I'm not planning to use it any longer that seemed fine for me. Installing it was very easy and after some experimenting I found that the x11.dll that comes with the cygwin distribution had to be copied to the windows/system directory. After I had done that everything was functioning perfectly. From the cygwin prompt I could then start a program specifying the machine name and display number something like ./prog.exe -display zen:0.0 Hope this helps.

I'm sorry if you are offended by a request to read the mail archives, but on this *bleeding edge* list, we get a fair number of repeat questions.

You have a problem. DirectX is reporting an invalid parameter on the call made to it by Xfree86. Noone has reported this problem before, or a (best case) patch or (worst case) FAQ entry would have been created. > I've tried about everything I can think of but nothing helps.

Let's see, mind probe on, ah yes I can tell what you tried. /Sarcasm. Please provide the steps you took to troubleshoot this, along with the output of dxdiag's "save all information" dump, which may give one of the programmers (I don't hack on Xfree86 myself) some insight into your problem. Also include any details you can think of that may be relevant. I'm not sure if you have read the FAQ, and I'll assume you have from here on in. Windows is not a very reliable platform to build a user interface on. The device drivers are inconsistent, the error codes usually confusing, and there is no way to peek under the covers and check when that is the case. If you are assuming we have even the faintest idea what is happening within your machine, don't - we only know what we are told by you, and any guesses we make are likely to be wrong (thanks Microsoft!). > And belive me mr Siddiqi, I have searched this archive about ten times for a > solution, but I haven't found any answers anywhere. So please, think one > more time before you send such a childish reply to the list!!! Mr Siddiqi is _the creator of the cygwin port of Xfree86_. You may think he was rude, but I am confident you that if you provide appropriate debug information (other than the terse reports provided to date) you are going to see at least some attempt to assist you. Anyway... I'm not the list maintainer, but I think the issue of rudeness vs politness will lead into a flame war so lets drop that angle and focus on : your mouse is broken with respect to Xfree86, you have tried a number of unspecified things with no joy, and would like a hand...

Unfortunately, at present, Cygwin/XFree86 is to picky that you probide a good UNIX emulations. I suggest using start xterm :0 not xterm -display :0. Did you try it? Also what you can do, you can add no hup commands at the end of /usr/X11R6/bin/startx script, (the paths should be in UNIX style) USe vim to edit startx script, not wordpad please. Start a bash shell, cd to /usr/X11R6/bin and type startx, let see if that starts your Xserver and brings up xterminal. If you find in your bash window a lot of errors, ": not found" then you may have corrupted you installation. In that case all you need to do delete the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 directory, downlaod xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 and install it. All the text files which X uses reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. Precompiled *.exe, *.dll and *.lib should be fine.

NOTE: This is the first time and last time I am cc'ing message to Cygwin/Xfree list because I do not know how many have subscribed to win32-x11 list and how many of you are aware of a MSVC project for X11. Future mails/posts concerning this project will be posted only to win32-x11 list at http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 . The server is stable, although it needs much more work. I might release the next version within a couple of weeks which would have more extensions built in. I need to clean up the source code. At present I build the xc directory in bit and pieces to get X-server compiled. Imakefiles needs a lot of patching which would allow "nmake World.Win32" to build the entire X11R6.5.11 tree with Win32 X-server, using MSVC 6.x. I will most probably upload the clean code base to CVS repository of win32-x11 this weekend. Download win32-x11.tar.bz2 from the same server you downloaded this archive. 1)Unpack win32-x11.tar.bz2 into \XWIN32 2) Delete XWin.exe and startx.bat from XWin32\bin 3) Put XWin32.exe and startx.bat from this archive into \XWIn32\bin 4) From a DOS shell type startx THINGS TO-DO: ============ 1) Build all the most common extension. At present server supports only SHAPE extension 2) Build SGI GLX extension. 3) Clean up code of SGI GLU library from SGI OpenGL SI ( http://oss.sgi.com/projects ) so it compiles with MSVC (Visual C++). SGI GL library compile. ANYONE WILLING TO HELP CLEAN UP SGI GLU code for MSVC? 4) Far fetched plan - no where close to reality at the moment unless I have some serious contributors - Implement a Windows manager to integrate X into Win32 Desktop for multi-windowing. THIS SERVER DOES NOT USE ANY CODE FROM XFREE86. IT IS A PURE X11R6.5.11 BASED FROM X.ORG. NONE OF THE EXECUTABLE OR LIBRARY USE CYGWIN1.DLL THEREFORE NO XTERM, XDM AND LBX (LIBPROXY).

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients. Did you check in your \winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory if you have hosts file, if you do make srue you have the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in it. Can you ping to, from a DOS shell, ping 127.0.0.1?

It shouldn't. The only thing that strace does is run the program "as a debugger".

Here's what he said: (note I haven't tried this yet but will as soon as I get a chance) So, the answer to the question about compiling enlightenment and getting undefines, is that you would need a version of the X(free86) files that supports XShm because the current release doesn't. --Kevin -----Original Message----- From: edward [ mailto:tailbert@yahoo.com ] Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 6:35 PM To: Kevin Wright Subject: Re: XShm Sure. I'd check the latest cygwin xfree... since there was just a release. I don't know if that has shm stuff in it. but who knows, mebbe it does. If it doesn't, then you have to do a bit of work. you have to check out the cvs xfree86 code, and update two files: xc/config/cf/cygwin.cf ================= Change #define HasShm NO to #ifndef HasShm #define HasShm NO #endif Change #define ExtraLibraries to #ifndef ExtraLibraries #define ExtraLibraries #endif xc/config/cf/site.def =============== Insert the following (I put it in the before vendor section) #define HasShm YES #define ExtraLibraries -lcygipc then recompile *everything*, especially: lib/X11 ====== in Font.c: take out the cygipc.h code. should be just #ifdef HAS_SHM #include #include #endif in Imakefile: add to the Shm section: # ifdef cygwinArchitecture REQUIREDLIBS = -lcygipc # endif lib/Xext ====== in Imakefile add: PROJECT_DEFINES = -DHAS_SHM to the section on HasShm lib/Xv ==== no change, just remember to compile. Sorry I can't give you diffs. I've hacked my X source so thoroughly i don't know if it works anymore :) Of course you need the cygipc package too. 1.09 i think is the latest version. cheers, edward ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Wright" To: "Edward" Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2001 8:35 PM Subject: FW: XShm > Edward, > > J-d> Is there a way to compile source code that uses XShm (like Imlib2 > J-d> for instance) under cygwin ? > > Do you happen to know how to do this?

If the flags for your mounts are not 'binmode', then you're either going to have to reinstall Cygwin and choose UNIX mode mounts (as per the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide instructions), or you can look at the Cygwin documentation to remount your Cygwin partitions in UNIX mode.

I have earlier used your Test 7 release, which actually worked pretty OK. I decided to test the new version today. However it failed on startup. I got the following message from the server: winCreateB... () - Adjusted width: 700 height: 500 winScreenInit () - Allocating shadow fb failed And then it crashes with a stackdump. I have tried both my previous settings with 800x600x16 (My Windows display is 1024x768x16) and a lower resolution with 700x500x8 and 700x500x16. I still get the same message when starting.

Unfortunately I can't test it. engine 1 freezes with a black background, engine 2 freezes with a white background, engine 4 doesn't start up and engine 8 freezes with a white background.

You no longer have to specify a "-engine n" parameter. However, you can suggest that the server use a particular engine with an "-engine n" parameter. 4) Made a quick fix to handle the incorrect depth being passed when running the engines in windowed mode. 5) Updated the "XWin -help" message with the new engine codes. 6) Rearranged the internal server structure to new engines to be added more easily, as well as making the current code easier to read and maintain. 7) Test 8 is built against XFree86 4.0.2, as the previous tests in this series. I am currently building Suhaib's patched XFree86 4.0.3 source. If that completes soon I may post a Test 9 shortly that will essentially be a recompilation of Test 8 against the XFree86 4.0.3 sources.

Ok. I've checked it is really 256MB. If you are getting something besides this then you are either using the wrong version of cygwin1.dll or you have the registry key set. Possibly you (Kevin) have more than one version of cygwin on your system. Regardless, one fix is to set the lower value in the registry. This has absolutely nothing to do with compiling things with older versions of cygwin. If you think about it, probably half of the executables in the cygwin distribution were compiled under older versions of cygwin. cgf From ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: ssiddiqi@inspirepharm.com (Suhaib Siddiqi) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Offscreen and No Direct Input Test 7 - Web page annoucement Message-ID: <7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3CDB@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> My understanding is, Harold already has CVS access and he sent him SSH key in november. harold I will email you a short note, step by step instructions.

His suggesions were genuine that you need to do a complete install of Cygwin and then start removing the stuff you think is not needed. This way you will know what is breaking you application. I do agree with Rob that without Cygwin mount points you might get errors. You get error after you rename c:\cygwin to c:\cygwin.no? How about installing everything and making sure you have Cygwin mount points, then remove everything except cygwin1.dll, you application and libX11.dll, BUT leave your application in c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin and Cygwin1.dll in C:\cygwin\usr\bin? The project is called Cygwin/XFree86 because Cygwin is needed for X and dlls to work properly. If your application needs only X11 Dll, and you do not need a complete Cygwin1.dll did you consider porting it using MSVC and using X11R6.5.1 libraries from http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 ? This way you will not need cygwin1.dll and your application and reside on your PC whereever you dump it.

It means that shift+KP7 says shiftpress, shiftrelease, homepress, homerelease, shiftpress, shiftrelease. It should say : shiftpress, KPhomepress, KPhomerelease, shiftrelease, like other keys are acting. In Xwin or Xwin.test.10 : except for what I said before, all keycode are tied to keys. In Xwin w32 : the keycode generated are those from the figures, not from the keys themselves. For example, on french keyboard, the 2nd key on the fist row (normaly "1" and "!" on US keyboard) is supposed to give "&" and "1". Here's what it gives : "&" : KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x0, keycode 10 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyPress event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x1, keycode 24 (keysym 0x26, ampersand), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "&" KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562231, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x1, keycode 10 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" KeyRelease event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x400001, root 0x25, subw 0x0, time 2252562401, (121,69), root:(180,411), state 0x0, keycode 24 (keysym 0x37, 7), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 characters: "7" It's like I'm on a US keyboard doing shift+7 In the same idea, the KP_specialkeys are mapped to specialkeys, not KP_specialkeys. In conclusion : Xwin (official or test) can't be used correctly for foreign because of AltGr (the right Alt) not mapped and has some keys oddly mapped (especially KP). Xwin (Win32) can be used with foreign, but because of mapping of keycodes to figure, can't be used with programs reading the hard keys. Hope that helps. CU. . \)|(/ .

Seriously though, Harold pulled out the low level code in the X server in the current port, and started anew: the goal, to build an accelerated X-Server that used directX's line/circle/rect etc functions and work on all win32 OS's.

I noticed the doubled libraries in the link line also; this is an artifact of how configure worked (this makefile was generated automatically). My understanding is that gcc is smart enough to ignore multiple inclusions of libraries unless they're needed to resolve circular library dependencies, so this shouldn't be contributing to the problem. I've used previous versions of LessTif with previous versions of your XFree86 without problems, so I think this glitch has been introduced recently. I'm currently restoring a backup of my /usr/X11R6 directory so I can keep working while I try to figure out the problem. Thanks, by the way, for your work on XFree86 for Cygwin.

I can start the xserver and start applications locally. However, I would like to use the W2000 X-environment as an X terminal for my Linux machine. This does not work. When I start the xserver on my Windows 2000 box with the -broadcast option, the login screen of my Linux server becomes visible. However when I log on, the kde2 window manager seems to be starting, but it never finishes the startup procedure. I use SuSE 7.0, and the latest KDE2environment (version 2.01). Is using xfree on cygwin in this way supported? If so, how can I make this work?

The color under the letters I type is white, while the rest of the background remains khaki. I guess it's a KDE thing...

I get the errors that I report below. I checked the archives of this mailing list and I found somebody reporting something similar just before Christmas ("back creation failed") but the discussion seems to have died with the break. I also saw some previous message suggesting that it may have to do with the driver for the video card, but no solution suggested. I also read in the documentation that there is a port of DirectX for cygwin, but that it's only needed for compiling xfree but shouldn't be needed for running it. I also played around with the settings in startxwin.bat (as suggested by the abovementioned discussion) but to no avail. This is my current startxwin.bat: @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET PATH=%PATH%;\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e bash start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start /B vtwm What I get is first a complaint that vtwm can't be found (or some of its components), then the server seems to try to start, but I get a dialogue window saying: Back creation failed Error=887601b3(unkwon error) When I press OK I get another similar window with: Direct Draw Init Failed Error=887601b3(Unknow Error) I installed all of the following packages: xfree86-4.0-DLLs.tar xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar xfree86-4.0-Xmh.tar xfree86-4.0-Xnest.tar xfree86-4.0-Xprt.tar xfree86-4.0-Xterm.tar xfree86-4.0-Xvfb.tar xfree86-4.0-Xwin.tar xfree86-4.0-devel.tar xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar xfree86-4.0-twm.tar I couldn't find xfree86-4.0-rgb.tar.bz2 though on the mirror that I used, but rgb.txt appeared in my installation anyway.

After a fresh Win NT 4, sp 6 install and then cygwin / xfree install everything came up fine (meaning I could start Xwin without recieving the error). Then loading the VPN software reimposed the 'Can't connect to host' error. This VPN is by Aventail corp., "Connect 3.1 for Windows". The vpn was configured to secure all traffic to a network and pass everything else untouched, obviously it is not quite leaving other traffic untouched. However there is an option to only secure traffic originating from specific applications and ignore others - selecting Netscape and telnet as the only 'secured' applications solved the problem and X starts up as it did prior to installing the VPN. Now I can access secured servers from my Sun workstation through a Win NT laptop over the VPN. HTH The Windows NT/2000 dual boot (actually quadruple boot, with Win ME, and RH 7.0 Linux) I do Cygwin/XFree86 development work and testing, at home, has CheckPoint VPN Client installed and I never had this problem. Therefore I suspect VPN client is not an issue. I believe problem is somewhere else on your windows. How about setting up in Control panel under System-->ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0?

OIt is coming from libX11 and libdix. Someday I need to fix the setgid, and uid issues. When I was porting XF86 code this used to be a fatal error, because X was looking for user root. I hacked the code so it does not crash, instead return a warning, which is of course a security loophole. A remote user can exploit it. The main concern was to get the XF86 code patched so it work then polish it to perfection. Anyhow, this needs to be fixed. > > I am not sure how to get rid of this message.

This is not detrimental. It has nothing to do with Harold code. This is me when I patched XF86 libraries code. It is a security loophole as I mentioned. Chown or adding a user root won't help. Your Test5 carsh question goes to Harold. That is his code.

Changes: 1) A great developer (John Fortin) once told me that the DDLOCK_NOSYSLOCK flag for IDirectDrawSurface_Lock was not introduced until DirectDraw4, which is not available for Windows NT 4.0. Including that flag causes the surface lock to fail on NT 4.0. I removed the flag from all calls to IDirectDrawSurface_Lock. Please report to the list if you are running Windows NT 4.0 and you can run this test but you could not run previous tests.

I'd prefer just ' http://cygwin.com/ ', actually. Less typing. It's what I've tried to use consistently in the cygwin web pages.

Well, with luck xfree86.cygwin.com will continue to work. sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ still works ok, so I think this is an achievable goal. Thanks for the guidelines.

IIRC there is a problem with textmode mounts and xfree86 at the moment - reinstall using Binary mounts. (just run setup again, and change text to bin on the appropriate screen - you don't need to uninstall). The complaint about libz.dll will be because you haven't isntalled all of X or all of cygwin. Install all of the cygwin packages, not just the cygwin1.dll. Follow the howto referenced above to install X - there are about 3 critical tarballs.

All the cygwin mirrors have undamaged copies of the archives last time I looked. The entire source tree is not appropriate for windows - the hardware framebuffers are not usable on windows. Windows has it's own X-Server which compiles from the same source, but uses DirectX. And yes the XServer is built. There have been several discussions on the list as to building from source (which is not a trivial task). Please search the list archives for "source". The reason you end up with the same source, is that the cygwin changes and XServer have been merged into the Xfree86 source tree. It's now the same. Further development is taking place, and when complete it will also be merged into the Xfree86 source tree.

I made the comment that there would not be a framebuffer based X server for Windows 95/98/Me before I knew about the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer was written by Keith Packard and is located in the XFree86 CVS tree under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadow/. To use shadow framebuffer you allocate an offscreen (shadow) framebuffer and tell your painting code, be it fb, mfb, or one of the cfbs, to paint to the offscreen framebuffer. Then you initialize the shadow framebuffer code. Shadow framebuffer steps in and wraps all of your previous painting functions with functions that keep track of the area updated by each graphics call. Shadow framebuffer also installs its own BlockHandler that calls a shadowUpdateProc (), supplied by you, that transfers the group of updated areas to the screen. You can use any feasible method in your shadowUpdateProc to transfer the updated regions to the screen. Engine 1 uses a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) Device Independent Bitmap (DIB) as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the DIB by creating it with Win32's CreateDIBSection (). Before you start thinking that DIBs must be slow, you should be informed that DIBs are, I believe, the foundation of DirectDraw. Engine 1's shadowUpdateProc () uses the GDI Blt function to transfer the updated (damaged) regions of the shadow DIB to the screen. Engine 2 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface as the shadow framebuffer; we get a pointer to the memory used by the surface by calling IDirectDrawSurface_Lock (). Engine 2's shadowUpdateProc () uses DirectDraw's IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () to transfer the damaged regions of the shadow framebuffer to the screen. However, before each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Unlock (), as you cannot blit from a locked surface. Consequently, after each call to IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () we must call IDirectDrawSurface_Lock () to reobtain a pointer to the memory of our surface. All of the locking and unlocking adds up, thus Engine 3. Engine 3 uses a DirectDraw offscreen surface with client allocated memory as the shadow framebuffer. Client allocated memory means that we allocate a block of memory large enough for the DirectDraw surface, then we tell DirectDraw to treat that memory as a surface. We can then call IDirectDrawSurface_Blt () without having to unlock and relock the surface. Therefore, Engine 3 has some pretty amazing performance. Apparently this technique only works with DirectX 6 or higher, thus it will work on Windows 95/98/Me/2000, but it will not work on NT 4.0. Back to your question. When I made my comment I had briefly thought about writing something similar to the shadow framebuffer code, but I knew that I didn't know enough about update regions and X servers in general to pull it off. I also doubted that the performance would be that great. I started writing a native GDI X server instead. There was a big discussion when I asked questions on the XFree86 devel list related to my native GDI server; the debate primarily centered around whether translating X graphics calls into GDI calls would be faster than using the shadow framebuffer code. I asked what the shadow framebuffer was, and that is how we got here. My old offscreen test 7 did all drawing to an offscreen surface, in a manner similar to how the shadow framebuffer works. However, I had no way to keep track of which, if any, regions of the offscreen framebuffer had been updated. Therefore I decided that fifteen times per second I would transfer the entire offscreen framebuffer to the screen, regardless of whether any of the offscreen framebuffer had been changed. Offscreen test 7 was clearly not ideal; to make it ideal would be to reimplement the shadow framebuffer code. So, that is difference between the old offscreen test 7 and the new shadow framebuffer test 7, and I made my remark because I didn't know of a feasible method of writing a framebuffer based server for Windows 95/98/Me at the time :) I will continue to work on the native GDI server, as there is only one way to answer the performance debate once and for all :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold Hunt From cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com (Corinna Vinschen) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] XWin Key test References: <20010331184419.E8711@cygbert.vinschen.de> Message-ID: <20010331192234.E16622@cygbert.vinschen.de> On Sat, Mar 31, 2001 at 06:59:23PM +0200, Alexander Gottwald wrote: > On Sat, 31 Mar 2001, Corinna Vinschen wrote: > > Unfortunately I can't test it. engine 1 freezes with a black > > background, engine 2 freezes with a white background, engine 4 > > doesn't start up and engine 8 freezes with a white background. > > When freezing, the last line to stderr is "InitInput()". > > > > Looks similar to Harolds Test 14. > Sorry, but its based on Harolds Test, hmm don't know which version but > source is from Mar 29.

Interestingly enough, my reasons for wanting to sponsor this project are similar to Harold's and Suhaib's. I would like to see this project have some effect on the commercial X-on-Windows vendors who are charging an arm and a leg for their efforts. I also would (maybe paradoxically) like to see linux take over everywhere. It also seems (seemed) that the lack of an open-source effort for Windows was long overdue. So, I'm really excited by the progress in this project.

The Cygwin/XFree86 project has ported XFree86 to Windows ME/NT/2000. See "How Complete is it?" for issues with Windows 9x. I believe this should be adjusted to only NT/2000 and 9x/ME since ME behaves just like 9x. cu ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From Martin.Plechsmid@merlin.cz Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin.Plechsmid@merlin.cz (Plechšmíd Martin) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: Problems with 1024x768x16 Message-ID: Hello. I run XWin in 1024x768x16 mode. Time from time (but quite often) it happens that the Xserver doesn't start correctly in this mode. After it paints its gray screen it displays the ordinary Windows mouse cursor (the arrow) over it and doesn't react to the mouse movements. After a mouse click the Xserver screen disappears, but the Xserver is still running at the background taking still all the 100% of processor time (which it does even when it runs correctly). No error or unexpected situation is reported, no core is dumped. This happens by running XWin.exe alone, without Xterm etc. I found that the problem gets corrected by starting XWin once in (e.g.) 800x600x16, shutting it down then and restarting it in the original 1024x768x16. Is this a known bug? Or, is this a bug. I run the latest Xfree on NT4 SP6 with the latest CygWin installed.

I am running Windows 98 on a Toshiba 4025CDT Laptop with a Pentium II and 160MB RAM. I installed the latest cygwin this week and dowloaded the Cygwin-XFree86 from a mirror site, installed it and then installed Harold's new XWin.exe. I was getting an error message saying that the SecurityPolicy file could not be opened. I followed the link from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver to find that the link destination did not exist, so I added the proper directory structure and copied the SecurityPolicy file from a Linux system. That cleared up the error. Is this a valid fix or am I going to get further trouble down the road? I have had good success running Test4, but I do get an error (warning?) upon startup _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root I am not sure how to get rid of this message. Using chown to change ownership of the directory to root tells me that there is no user called root. I added a user root, but the chown returned without error, and also without changing anything. I haven't fought this problem too hard because it does not seem to be detrimental. Other than the _XSERVTransmkdir warning, Test4 works very nicely. I downloaded the Test5 XWin.exe.bz2 this morning and decompressed it in /usr/X11R6/bin. I did not download xwin-20010322-1411.tar.bz2 or xc-programs-Xserver-20010320-2100.tar.bz2. Do I need to to get XFree86 to work properly? When I ran the same startxwin.bat batch file from a DOS shell, I got a coredump.

Message-ID: Hi all, I've tried to do my homework, carefully reading the FAQ and mailing list, but I can't find a solution to my problem. I'm trying to get the latest version of Cygwin/xfree to work under Windows NT4 SP6a. This is a reinstallation of NT4/reapplication of SP6a from scratch, followed by upgrading IE to the latest version (and whatever .DLL or other upgrades that may perform). I also upgraded the drivers for my ancient 4MB Matrox Mystique video card to the latest version posted (dated 1998) on the Matrox web site for NT4. My motherboard is an old Intel Seattle with a PIII/400 CPU and 384MB of RAM. I followed the Installation How-To to a tee. I installed the standard Cygwin and all the xfree .tar.bz2 files (dated Dec 3rd I believe) from xfree/xc-4-binaries (including devel and Prog) except for Xmh, Xnest, and Xprt to C:\Cygwin. I copied vtwm.exe to /usr/X11R6/bin so startxwin.bat could find it. When I run startxwin.bat from a DOS command prompt window, X starts up full-screen (Windows desktop goes away of course and I see a few of the "standard" error messages related to locale). I get the stippled background with the "X" cursor in the center *and* the Windows arrow cursor on top of the "X." Then vtwm starts. It puts a small window labeled vtwm in the upper left-hand corner of the screen (pager?) and an outline box (I presume for my xterm) with its upper left-hand corner on the center of the screen asking me to place the new window. At this point, when I move the mouse the Windows arrow cursor moves but the xterm outline doesn't move. X doesn't seem to "see" me moving the mouse. Then when I click the mouse X dies instantly. Full screen X goes away and I'm back to the Windows desktop. I've tried pushing Alt-Tab but it doesn't take me back to the full screen X Windows display. It appears to be gone for good. I'm running Windows in 800x600x16 bit color mode, and the command in startxwin.bat to start XWin.exe uses this mode as well. In fact, I didn't change startxwin.bat at all because it looks OK to me. The thing that puzzles me is I'm not getting any error messages. The window where XWin.exe runs shows this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root pwin->width = 00000320 pwin->height = 00000258 pwin->paddedWidth = 00000640 pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010 calling winAllocateFramebufferMemory calling cfb16ScreenInit( 0a0178f0, 14770000, 00000320, 00000258, 00000064, 00000064, 00000320 ) Successful addition of Screen 0xa017ae8 0xa0178f0 Switch: 0xa0178f0, 0xa01fae0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ and when X dies and I close that window I get in the window where I ran startxwin.bat: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>X connection to 127.0.0.1:0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). xterm: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or KillClient on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This all looks fine to me. All the needed files seem to be in my path as well. Two things I believe I read on some mailing list posts but I wasn't sure about were: 1.) Ownership/permission of files. Does the ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix and the X0 socket make any difference? I tried to use chown to change their ownership but it didn't work (I'm a cygwin newbie :^). 2.) Environment variables. Somewhere I believe I read that some env. vars. like TMP, TMPDIR, HOME, and so forth might be needed. Do I need to define these or others to get it working? Or could this problem be related to my video card? It is old and has old drivers. Maybe they don't support something xfree needs. If anyone has any ideas or has seen similar symptoms, I'd appreciate your help identifying and fixing my problem.

Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

If you have a linux box, you can try this with the Gtk color chooser. This is indicated by the field "significant bits in color specification" in the xdpyinfo output. Linux says 6, windows says 8. 24bpp: ------ Here is just the red and blue value switched. The significant bit value is correctly at 8 bits.

Changes: 1) Restart messages, such as the one sent by the "Close Connection" button when using xdcmp, caused the server to crash, as I was not completely closing the screen resources. This has no been fixed. You can send restart messages, till your heart is content, and the Test 10 server will cheerily process them and give you a fresh server every time. I hope :) 2) Neat new feature, as a consequence of 1: you can now run multiple screens in one server, for example: start XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -screen 1 800x600x16 start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start rxvt -display 127.0.0.1:0.1 -fn "Lucidia Console-12" start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 start twm -display 127.0.0.1:0.1 Caveats: Don't try throwing in any -fullscreen parameters.

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Harold Hunt To: 'Suhaib Siddiqi' Cc: Cygx (E-mail) Sent: 3/25/2001 6:14 PM Subject: RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Shadow Framebuffer Test 7 If you are running Windows at any other depth than 16, then yes, it should crash. I just discovered the root of the problem, although the fix will not be in my next release, which is coming up shortly. Basically, it breaks down like this: InitOutput () currently initializes the pixmap formats. InitOutput uses whatever depth was passed on the command line to inititialize the pixmap formats. If you pass the wrong depth, you get the wrong pixmap formats. Later on, in winScreenInit, I correct the depth, but it is too late because the pixmap formats are still incorrect. I'll fix that sometime later this week.

I'll probably need a few weeks, or up to a month to reach the patch submission point, as I want to fix some things and give the code time to be tested, etc. I'll be sure to synchronize any patching with you. Hey, you're always thanking me for working on the server, but I have to give you a huge thanks for keeping the libraries and the whole tree compiling. That is a ton of work! Is the goal of Win32-X11 to provide a server that not only compiles with VC++, but also to provide a server that can be installed independently of Cygwin? One of my slightly longer range goals is to provide a server that is compiled with Cygwin's gcc, but that runs without Cygwin... that will really simplify installation for 95% of users out there, thus increasing usage. Oh, have you tried Test 7? What do you think? Are you seeing that engine 3 has the best performance, even better than engine 4?

I'm encountering multiply-defined symbols while linking UIL clients included with LessTif 0.92.26 with the latest Cygwin XFree86. I'm compiling with Cygwin 1.1.8 (gcc 2.95.3-1) and the binary release of XFree86 4.0.3 for Cygwin from ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/4.0.3 I performed a clean install of Cygwin (uname -a returns CYGWIN_NT-4.0 ZUUL 1.1.8(0.34/3/2) 2001-01-31 10:08 i686 unknown) and untarred the XFree86 tarballs in / to create the /usr/X11R6 hierarchy. I then downloaded the source distribution of LessTif from ftp.hungry.com and extracted it. In the lesstif-0.92.26 directory, I typed ./configure --enable-static and then make The build proceeded until it reached the UIL client directory for Motif-2.0. The first error was about undefined variables "optind" and "optarg" in clients/Motif-2.0/uil/main.c but all I had to do there was add #include . The next error I encountered was during the link stage for newuil.exe: gcc -g -Wall -o newuil.exe newuil.o \ ../../../lib/Uil-2.0/.libs/libUil.a \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt \ ../../../lib/Mrm-2.0/.libs/libMrm.a \ ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 \ -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXt -lSM -lICE -lX11 ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x6e0): \ multiple definition of `vendorShellClassRec' /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x0):Vendor.c: \ first defined here ../../../lib/Xm-2.0/.libs/libXm.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x774): \ multiple definition of `vendorShellWidgetClass' /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a(Vendor.o)(.data+0x94):Vendor.c: \ first defined here collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have the Hummingbird Exceed XDK installed also; I did a "strings libXm.lib libXt.lib | grep vendorShellClassRec" and determined that both libraries contain references to that string. I'm unsure which library should be defining it. Since this is a collision between libraries from two different sources, I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm sending this to both the cygwin-xfree mailing list and to lesstif@hungry.com. I searched the cygwin-xfree archives for "lesstif" and found some references to the "getopts" problem I mentioned above, but nothing about multiply-defined symbols.

In the xc directory using the command make World > world.log I compiled the source code. I obtained several errors. In this mail-list Suhaib Siddiqi suggested to use the source present in the CVS repository where these problems there aren't. When I downloaded the code from the CVS in the xc/config/cf directory I didn't find the cygwin.def file and then I sent a request to this list asking if I have to do same change before compiling. The same Suhaib Siddiqi said me to change site.cygwin in site.def and something related to host.cygwin Where I can find these file? Thanks Daniele > > > Daniele, > > Where is the error showing up?

(Win98SE, Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, ATI Rage Mobility graphics card) It took a while, but eventually I got everything going quite well [well good for win98 anyway] I got those keyboard errors, or crashes as I called them too. So I started going through the mailing list archives and found a thread starting with the following message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2000-q4/msg00599.html This seemed to lay the blame (possibly) on rgb.txt I had this file, but was still getting the error .....[blah blah blah] to cut a long story short things started not crashing when I installed: xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 the rgb.txt from this was identical to the one I had before, so I can only guess that something else that this provided (or replaced) fixed the problem. WARNING: people on Win98 will need to reapply (or pre-save) XWin.exe and xf_dx.dll, as the tar will overwrite the test7 versions with some other versions. I just thought I'd share my experiance, just in case it helps someone else, obviously this isn't a proper explanation of why the problem was occuring in the first place. I then went on the edit the startx shell script that the above archive placed in /usr/X11R6/bin/. I also created an xinitrc file in /etc/X11/xinit/. And the result is that I can how start the Xserver nicely from typing startx at a normal Cygwin (ie. command prompt) window. [and I can also exit the x-server with out it crashing]. If anyone is interested I can share further details on this. What this leads me to ask is why is startx not included in the normal binaries? (ie. why does someone need to install the devel one too?). I can see the point of startxwin.bat, it lets you start the xserver without having a cygwin window up before hand, but it still uses (at least) one empty window. The nice thing about startx and xinitrc is that at least it is more standard, in the sense that we don't have to start xterms etc from a DOS batch file etc, and it matches linux implementations a little (i think, not that I know anything about linux). I also have a nice Xmodmap file, that gives 'proper' (or at least less wrong) keyboard key bindings for UK Keyboards.

I believe this is a FAQ already discussed on this list. Please try downloading from the directory cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries on one of the mirror sites the file xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2, the same way you installed the other XFree86 .tar.bz2 files. Installing the -devel tarball solves this problem in some cases. HTH.

Message-ID: Hi all, I've been able to get XFree working on NT4 SP6a, but only in 8-bit color depth. 16-bit and 24-bit "run," but the colors are wrong. When you export netscape from Linux to the XFree on NT display, the resulting colors are strange, I'm not sure how to explain it. It looks exactly the same as trying to display a 16-bit or 32-bit color app on an 8-bit only display. There's a weird "rainbow" effect to icons displayed, for example. I've tried changing color depth to 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit on the Windows desktop, and also changing resolution to 800x600 and 1024x768. This doesn't change the color behavior I'm seeing for XFree. [BTW, I can confirm that XFree showing the Windows arrow cursor and crashing on the first mouse click is caused by trying to run XFree in the same resolution and color depth as Windows is running.] I'm wondering if this color depth problem means something is wrong with the drivers for my video card (ancient Matrox Mystique, last drivers posted in 1998).

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients. Did you check in your \winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory if you have hosts file, if you do make srue you have the 127.0.0.1 localhost entry in it. Can you ping to, from a DOS shell, ping 127.0.0.1? In the 4.0.3 release, you may find harold test 9, /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin95.exe, rename XWin.exe to XWin.exe.orig and copy XWin95.exe to Win.exe, and trty startxwin.bat from a DOS shell.

On Cygwin we are doing software GLX rendering that is going to be a bit slower compare to SGI. The Windows won't allow GLX to access hardware without crashing whole damn thing. I spent several weeks to get it working at least in software rendering mode. Are you having remote network drives mounted on your NT workstation?

I have a Compaq Pro Workstation, Dual PP200's, 256 MB RAM and an old Matrox Millenium. I have the lastest CygWin binaries (I ran that neat update utility). I followed the instructions that came with the distro. I searched and read all of the threads in the mail archive to no avail. I copied all of the files from the development code (after reading that it might be needed). I checked the winxstart.bat and debugged it enough to know it not that batch file. I did damn near everything I could think of and I am now going to ask for help before I try this on another machine or just quit and go back to using Exceed. I get the following error ( I did search for all of the other messages with that "error 104" and I tried all of the suggestions gives): fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server "127.0.0.1:0.0" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I guess this means that my X server won't start. (Duh!!) I am at a loss as to why it won't. So my question is: What is the next step? Also: Is the shell script startx actually supposed to work? Does that SuperProbe have any use? Is it supposed to work?

The differences are Cygwin/Xfree86 is a Xfree86 source code base ported to Windows using Cygwin. Advatange a lot of this like xterm and LBDX which cannot be compiled with MSVC. Disadvantage underlying UNIX emulation layer (Cygwin1.dll) does compromise performance. > > Win32-X11 Compiled with Visual c++ > Why use, why not.. who maintains?? Where to get info > Nothing we want to see.. ? :-) For the folks who does not want Cygwin1.dll. It is based upon X COnsortium code. thatis no extra features and enhancements added by Xfree86 to base X11R6.x.x. A lot of X applications are compiled using MSVC and X11.dll for MSVC. Here you have whole set of X11R6.5.11 and a server which does not depend of UNIX emulation layer. Therefore it has several advantages. I maintain it, as I maintain Cygwin/Xfree86 project too. You get Win32-X11 infor from http://sources.redhat.com/win32-x11 . > > Cygwin X86 Compiled with cygwin's gcc > It is the best, no reason to not use, guys maintaining > and using it can be found in cygwin-xfree@... same guy who started Cygwin/Xfree86 can be found at Win32-X11 too. GCC has advatanges so does MSVC too. > > Shadowbetas: CygwinX86 tests to get something working.. The aim is to get a stable server which would work on all Windows OS. > > XGGI: > Old unmaintained.. any special reason for using this? Not maintained any more because XF86 works now. Too many under lying emulation layers cygwin --> GGI --> GII --> DirectX ---> finally X. Only reason to play with it if you are a fan of GGI, in that case you can takeover that project and contribute.

Jeremy one more thing can you check. Have you by chance Windows IP Security turned on? This crap works best only if you are using M$ Windows servers, otherwise you run into a lot of problems. When i first installed Win2K RC2 I enabled Windows 2K IP Security and a lot of applications which depends on IP broke. You can find check right mouse on My Network Places on your Desktop then choose Properties from Network and Dial-up Connections, right mouse button on Local Area Connections and choose Properties Higlight Internal Protocl (TCP/IP) and choose Properties Button Then Advance Button Go to Options Tab Higlight IP Security and you should have "Do not use IPSEC" box checked. If not then check it and uncheck the "Use this IP security Policy" box. Then highlight TCP/IP filtering and make sure "Enable TCP/IP Filtering (All Adapters) box is unchecked.

If so, I am confident the problem is related your Windows2k installation. Something is very very fishy on your system. After XWin starts from startxwin.bat, it sets the DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 (which localhost), and you should be able to open at least local x-clients.

The good news is that I got everything to build! Boy was that a fun exercise! I can see how much hard work you've done to check in the cygwin-specific code to make this work. Thanks again. I'm very happy to have an up-to-date set of X files to work with! The bad news is that due to changes in cygwin's compiler (version 2.95.2-7), the windows header files aren't found by default. I had to change the makefiles for the dll's to gcc -mwin32 to get this to work. IIRC, they recently went from -DWIN32 being the default to having to use -mwin32 to get the windows headers. Also the these files are now located in /usr/include/w32api. (gcc 2.95.2-8 is due out soon, so this might change again) One other thing, the freetype-def.cpp file seems to be missing. I managed to create one myself and subsequently built the libfreetype.dll. I realize that your not in charge of the sources in cvs so I'll look for the appropriate people to contact.

X should return only the scancodes of the keys, not the symbol. eg. pressing the key "a" should result in sending the keycode 38, which is then mapped to the keysym 0x61 (a), XWin returs keycode 71, and maps this to keysym 0x61 (a). If Xwin is running standalone, there is no problem. But as soon as you connect to a remote system, which sets a special modmap (eg. the german keymap), the mapping is completely strange. The default keymap expects for keycode 71 the key "F5". If you try xkeycaps on Xwin, you will see that the keycodes are not mapped to the correct keys (not symbols). If we return the correct keycodes, the modmaps from linux will work for xwin too. Since i now got X to build, I will investigate the keycode problem and hope to provide a fix, which is closer to the linux X server. bye ago -- Alexander.Gottwald@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de http://www.gotti.org +49 3725 3498080 From robert.collins@itdomain.com.au Sun Apr 1 00:00:00 2001 From: robert.collins@itdomain.com.au (Robert Collins) Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2001 00:00:00 -0000 Subject: xfree86 runs but programs can't connect to it References: <200102061602.IAA06222@mail10.bigmailbox.com> Message-ID: <003b01c09090$a2d5b9e0$0200a8c0@lifelesswks> This may seem silly - but do you have tcp/ip installed on your laptop?

Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, David W To: 'cygwin-xfree@sourceware.cygnus.com' Sent: 1/30/2001 4:54 PM Subject: Reversed/inverted colors Hello, I have searched the archives with no success, so I'll ask here. I have successfully installed Cygwin and the XWin server on my NT 4.0 system (NT 4.0 [Build 1381 SP 6a], Gateway E-5200, 3DLabs Video adapter [GLINT R3/Oxygen VX1], Dell Trinitron [P1110] monitor) It's great! It's Fast! It's color confused. It behaves as if the red/blue inputs are reversed. By this I mean that an "xsetroot -solid red" gives a blue background, "xsetroot -solid blue" gives a red background, while "xsetroot -solid green" gives a green background. But it isn't that simple, because "xsetroot -solid dimgray" (which is defined in rgb.txt as "105 105 105") gives a steelblue sort of color. It is NOT monitor nor adapter-to-monitor cable dependant, as I have switched both of those with no change in behavior.

(Win98SE, Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop, ATI Rage Mobility graphics card) It took a while, but eventually I got everything going quite well [well good for win98 anyway] I got those keyboard errors, or crashes as I called them too. So I started going through the mailing list archives and found a thread starting with the following message: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2000-q4/msg00599.html This seemed to lay the blame (possibly) on rgb.txt I had this file, but was still getting the error .....[blah blah blah] to cut a long story short things started not crashing when I installed: xfree86-4.0-devel.tar.bz2 the rgb.txt from this was identical to the one I had before, so I can only guess that something else that this provided (or replaced) fixed the problem. WARNING: people on Win98 will need to reapply (or pre-save) XWin.exe and xf_dx.dll, as the tar will overwrite the test7 versions with some other versions. I just thought I'd share my experiance, just in case it helps someone else, obviously this isn't a proper explanation of why the problem was occuring in the first place. I then went on the edit the startx shell script that the above archive placed in /usr/X11R6/bin/. I also created an xinitrc file in /etc/X11/xinit/. And the result is that I can how start the Xserver nicely from typing startx at a normal Cygwin (ie. command prompt) window. [and I can also exit the x-server with out it crashing]. If anyone is interested I can share further details on this. What this leads me to ask is why is startx not included in the normal binaries? (ie. why does someone need to install the devel one too?). I can see the point of startxwin.bat, it lets you start the xserver without having a cygwin window up before hand, but it still uses (at least) one empty window. The nice thing about startx and xinitrc is that at least it is more standard, in the sense that we don't have to start xterms etc from a DOS batch file etc, and it matches linux implementations a little (i think, not that I know anything about linux). I also have a nice Xmodmap file, that gives 'proper' (or at least less wrong) keyboard key bindings for UK Keyboards.

It will take me awhile to dig it up, if it still exists. Also, the code for Test 7 is no big feat... it is basically a clean up of the original code, and a few minor modifications to render to an offscreen framebuffer. Test 7 also requires that you have Visual C++, as Test 7, like the original framebuffer based server, uses a seperate DLL for all functions that must call Win32 API functions. Shortly after Test 7, I began working on allowing the Win32 API calls to be made directly from XWin.exe; I suceeded at this, and have since been working on implementing each of the graphics functions required for an X server. Apparently there is a newer method of doing a simple port to an exisiting windows system: the shadow FB code. Shadow FB was written by Keith and is located under xc/programs/Xserver/miext/shadowfb/, and an example of its use is in xc/programs/Xserver/hw/kdrive/vesa/. Shadow FB is nearly identical to Test 7, except that Shadow FB keeps track of when the framebuffer has been modified, and which sections have been modified. That way, only the modified sections must be transferred to the screen; this really cuts down the CPU usage and results in an acceptable system, whereas Test 7 is unacceptable. Now, I'm not looking at doing a shadow FB port of XFree86 to Windows; we open source developers tend to scratch our itches, and my particular itch is to learn the intricacies of implementing an X server and I want to learn about the Windows GDI. Shadow FB would allow you to quickly implement an X server that would work on both Windows 95/98/Me and Windows NT/2000. Personally, I think you should go for it, or, a lot of people should go for it. I'll keep plodding away at the GDI based X server. :) Thanks for your interest in the project, Harold -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Hairyes [ mailto:rhairyes@lee.k12.nc.us ] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2001 10:22 PM To: huntharo@msu.edu Subject: TEST7 Harold, Thanks for all your help this far.

<7F2B9185F0196F44B59990759B91B1C21F3BC8@ins-exch.inspirepharm.com> This is really DDD issue, which needs to be fixed. The order of libraries in your Makefiles, generated by configure script of DDD, are wrong. You can either manually edit the Makefiles or fix the configure script. I quote you from www.lesstif.org FAQ, which DDD folks should consider reading too. "The order in which you should specify these options is -lMrm -lXm -lXt -lXmu -lXp -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE Of course not all of these libraries are always necessary, but in some cases more libraries may be required." On many systems in the Makefiles, if 0lXm is after -lXt you get unresolved symbols thus your ./configure failed with ambiguous error message of "Xm not found or not in your path... something like that" Suhaib -----Original Message----- From: Chuck.Irvine@mail.sprint.com To: cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com; cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com; ddd@gnu.org Sent: 1/30/2001 6:47 PM Subject: ddd-3.2.98 configure problem on cygwin (sorry for previous - no subject) I'm trying to build ddd-3.2.98 on cygwin and am getting the error below when invoking configure. This is reminiscent of a previous configure error that, I believe, got fixed in 3.2.95. The library had something to do with library ordering, I think. Does anyone have a fix for this? Is there any additional info that I can provide to help diagnose the problem? I am very hopeful that we can get ddd 3.3 to build on cygwin.

If you are using heavy OpenGL graphics software, and your server is remote then you would have a slow display with most of the X-server. That is because your X is constantly sending back and forth the big packets. The XWin.exe has SGI GLX extension statically linked. It could not use dynamic loading of modules therefore all the most common 19 extensions were are statically linked.

Test 12 on W2KSP1, DirectX8a tends to flicker. While moving the mouse, often big horizontal areas of the X root window flicker white for a fraction of a second. This happens with engine 2 and engine 4 and if the server may choose the engine by itself (so I assume it's 2 or 4 then). That effect doesn't happen with engine 1 and engine 8 (but 8 is pretty slow). Test 12 keyboard doesn't behave well. Left Shift, Left Control and Left Alt return the same keycodes and symbols as the corresponding right keys which disallows native keyboard settings again. And then I'm missing something. How do I set a key to be "mode" for the native characters? Somehow my settings for the third character set in my xmodmap file are ignored.

It will be difficult to do so unless you can provide details. I'm not aware of anything wrong with unistd.h. If there are problems we obviously need to know the details to the problems. Since hundreds of people are using the package, it's not likely that the problems are trivial. I will point out that getopts is a builtin for BASH and /bin/sh != bash. /bin/sh == ash. I don't know if this helps or not. What errors are yo
