WHAT'S NEW IN X11R7.7? ====================== * Over 140 binary packages have been updated, including the latest upstream improvements and bug fixes. * Complex OpenGL apps, such as those based on Clutter, are now quite usable with the software rasterizer (as used by XWin in desktop mode, or in multiwindow mode where the native WGL implementation is lacking). * EGL and OpenVG are now supported. GLES support is planned for the near future. * Xinerama-aware apps should behave correctly in -multiplemonitor mode. * The modularized Xorg server is available for use with the xf86-video-dummy and xf86-video-nested drivers in place of Xvfb/Xfake and Xnest/Xephyr, respectively. * Development of the 3D Athena widgets library (libXaw3d) has been taken over by X.Org, adding many improvements. * The transset utility has been added. * X API documentation includes cross-reference links to other modules. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT =================== Development of Cygwin/X is primarily focused on the XWin server; most other components are extremely stable and work OOTB. Anyone who despaired of touching the old monolithic tree will find things much easier with modular packages. If you want to see XWin stay current and add new features, then WE NEED YOU. Here are some of the projects that could be worked on: * Implement hardware-accelerated AIGLX support in desktop mode. * Implement Extended Window Manager Hints in multiwindow mode. * Implement the Composite extension in multiwindow mode. * Implement the XVideo extension. * Implement newest XRandR protocol. FEEDBACK ======== All comments, questions, bug reports, patches, discussion, etc. should take place on the cygwin-xfree list. CREDITS ======= Jon Turney for continuing to develop xorg-server, pushing our existing patches upstream, and contributing many new patches to this release. Numerous users for their bug reports and patches during the latest development cycle, including: Ken Brown Colin Harrison Keith Lindsay Rodrigo Medina J??rg Mensmann Eliot Moss Oliver Schmidt Yusuke Tamura David Thompson And whomever else I may have inadvertently neglected to mention.

For starters, I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit. I run the Setup.exe file and select all the extra modules I require (on top of the default install), the extra modules i install are; bison, make, automake, libiconv, libtool, python interpreter, gcc, g++, gdb. The installation progresses all the way through downloading all the files, then when it seems to be checking all the files it freezes then I get the windows blue screen of death. When the computer starts up again there is only the Cygwin libs it downloaded and half the installation in my C-Drive. I've tried repeating this installation 4 times now (after deleting all the old Cygwin files each time). I've disabled my AVG anti-virus software, and tried a different download mirror each time but still no luck. Has anyone run into this issue before or have any suggestions on what the issue may be?

Message-ID: <500662ED.3080107@offis.de> I'm using virtual dimension (v0.94) and cygwin for quite some many years now with (used to be) no issue (Windows 7 and Windows XP before). During an upgrade of my machine I also installed the most current version of cygwin and its x-server (1.12.2). Since this time an xterm (or any other window) will show up on all my virtual dimension desktops as if it was attributed to "All desktops" Worse: Virtual Desktop does not show any xterm-icons, as if it does never realize that these windows are there. This might be the reason why the xterms are visible on all desktops - since the desktop manager fails to see and handle them . But all of this used to work with older version of cygwin - I verified by going back to an older backup for testing (sorry cannot quickly check x-server version for this). A websearch of this always leads me to this former "redraw window issue". But that is not it. I would need to know (thanks for help) what the cause for this could be. I would need to know some buzzwords where I could start following and solving the problem. At this point I have no idea where to start of from (where to start reading).

Hi Jon, here a log of my recent tests. The most interesting point is the last. 1. I modified file C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat according to new FAQ and reboot PC. -> No change of behaviour. 2. Download XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe.bz2. /bin/startxwin -- /bin/XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe -logverbose 3 -clipboard -emulate3buttons 100 -nounixkill -nowinkill -xkboptions nbsp:level3 -> Doesn't start. Error message on the console is: giving up. /bin/startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server /bin/startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. -> No output at all to file /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log. 3. I took above startxwin command line and replace XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe by XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe -> Immediately starts. All further tests with (old) XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe. 4. Today I couldn't get to the broken, jumpy behaviour by scrolling a Windows dialog. So this is not the breaking condition as I previously meant. But after some time, the scrolling behaviour breaks and xterm scrolls in jumpy way. Sorry, I have no glue what's the condition that breaks it. After reboot of PC it scrolls fine. Any work of 1 minute or so seems to break smooth scrolling. 5. Then I started ico. -> While ico runs, xterm scrolls fine and smooth. As soon as I stop ico, xterm scrolls jumpy. -> Pressing the trackpoint button has no effect to ico. It keeps painting fine eather way. 6. I started ico with -sleep 1 ico -sleep 1 I constantly hold the trackpoint button down and scroll the xterm. -> I observe jump scrolling movements every second, one jump each second. xterm jump scrolls exactly at the time when ico refreshes 7. close ico, start xpdf -> xpdf and xterm both have broken = jumpy scroll 8. start ico -> both xpdf and xterm both scroll fine and smooth 9. stop ico, start ico -sleep 1 -> ico -sleep 1 starts, but doesn't paint anything. I do several tests. -> ico without sleep option starts fine. close xpdf -> ico -sleep 1 starts, but doesn't paint anything. I do several tests. -> ico without sleep option starts fine. -> ico -sleep 1 starts and repaints in 1 second rhythm.

Possible? Yes. You can't run an arbitrary executable as a service, you need to use the cygwin service wrapper cygrunsrv to make it respond to service control messages. However, this is not the way to achieve what you want to do. Google "Allow service to interact with desktop" to learn why...

The immediate call is made via the X server, but the window manager is in control of the subsequent reconfiguration requests, and as a result can keep xterm's window from changing size.

To reproduce (think of a "tail -f" instead of xev): 1. xterm -si -e /bin/xev 2. move the mouse in the xev window to produce some lines 3. scroll the xterm up half way and remember the visible lines 4. while looking at the xterm, again move the mouse in the xev window You see: xterm scrolls slowly down. I would expect xterm to hold the current view while xev produces more lines at the end. Suppose you have a "tail -f" running and scroll the xterm up to view a specific line. I would expect that line to stay visible until I scroll somewhere else. But it's not: as the "tail -f" produces output, the xterm scrolls slowly down. To clarify: xterm does not scroll down to the very end but it scrolls down line by line, as if xterm would try to keep the same distance between the current scrolling position and the most recent line. I would expect xterm to keep the same distance between the current scrolling position and the *FIRST* line. In case above behaviour is the desired behaviour, I wanted to suggest another command line option like "-si-top" for my use case.

The behaviour is different: one maximizes, the other not, but the descriptions in the man page are exactly the same.

But since my upgrade from Cygwin 1.7.9 to 1.7.15, run.exe only hides the window but not the task bar entry, when invoked from the Startup menu in some cases.

The short answer is that it's always been that way :-) This refers to the scrollTtyOutput, which in xterm is described: scrollTtyOutput (class ScrollCond) Specifies whether or not output to the terminal should automat- ically cause the scrollbar to go to the bottom of the scrolling region. The default is ``true.'' and in rxvt (in the mid-1990s): scrollTtyOutput: boolean True: scroll to bottom when tty receives output; option -si. False: do not scroll to bottom when tty receives output; option +si. However, rxvt (also long ago) implemented a different flavor: scrollWithBuffer: boolean True: scroll with scrollback buffer when tty receives new lines (and scrollTtyOutput is False); option -sw. False: do not scroll with scrollback buffer when tty receives new lines; option +sw. and (relatively recently - two years ago) I implemented a different choice: allowScrollLock (class AllowScrollLock) Specifies whether control sequences that set/query the Scroll Lock key should be allowed, as well as whether the Scroll Lock key responds to user's keypress. The default is "false". When this feature is enabled, xterm will sense the state of the Scroll Lock key each time it acquires focus. Pressing the Scroll Lock key toggles xterm's internal state, as well as tog- gling the associated LED. While the Scroll Lock is active, xterm attempts to keep a viewport on the same set of lines. If the current viewport is scrolled past the limit set by the saveLines resource, then Scroll Lock has no further effect. The reason for setting the default to "false" is to avoid user surprise. This key is generally unused in keyboard configura- tions, and has not acquired a standard meaning even when it is used in that manner. Consequently, users have assigned it for ad hoc purposes.

Here is the "Target" of the shortcut: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xlaunch.exe -p /usr/bin -run ***cygwin-path-to***/config.xlaunch I find the -p makes it easier to write the various files, since it allows cygwin programs to be found.

I used to have difficulty like that with startxwin, but it does not happen any more for me with xlaunch. It did look like a race condition or something ...
