Re: X, backingstore and opengl

Angelo Graziosi — 2008-12-03T15:03:21

You have ignored my cygchec.out here [1]. I have those packages installed and glxgears, glxinfo seem to work (see opengl.txt below). The fact that also XWin segfaults, means it isn't a problem only for ROOT developers... Just for completeness, I have tried and IT WORKS JUST FINE and without XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS! Respect to the previous testing-XWin you have proposed, with XWin.20081203132739 also the keyboard works just fine!!! So, I doubt we are referring to the same failing XWin which one finds on the mirrors...

Re: fonts and xterm

Jon TURNEY — 2008-12-03T13:38:37

This is a bit vague as to, for e.g. if the scrollbar is drawn and works correctly when it is on the left. "I had resolved previously": then why not do whatever you did last time to resolve it? I guess you might have obtained a times.ttf file from somewhere (perhaps C:\Windows\Fonts) In which case, being aware [1] that fonts have moved from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts to /usr/share/fonts, you'll probably want to obtain that file again and put it in /usr/share/fonts/TTF [1] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2008-11/msg00000.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: X, backingstore and opengl

Jon TURNEY — 2008-12-03T13:36:39

Ah, I'm sorry. By "OpenGL demos" you mean the ones which come with ROOT. glxgears, glxinfo are GL demo programs which come with mesa (the OpenGL library) It would be useful if you could install the mesa package and check if glxinfo, glxgears work for you. Yes, I have tried running the ROOT application, but I am afraid I cannot reproduce your problem. Irrespective of if I use +bs or not, with 1.5.3-4, simple.C runs ok, geom/shapes.C causes ROOT to segfault unless XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS is used. You should raise the ROOT segfault as an issue with the ROOT developers. They will be far more qualified to diagnose the issue than me. If you wouldn't mind trying again, I've built a slightly different debug version, which you can get from: ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20081203132739.exe.bz2 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygw

Re: X, backingstore and opengl

Angelo Graziosi — 2008-12-03T01:49:18

Really, in my posts, I never cited 'glxgears', 'glxinfo' etc. Sincerely, I do not know what they are... I have written: 1. Adding +bs at command line which starts XWin (in startxwin.bat) and then trying to run some ROOT macro (hsimple.C etc.) both ROOT and XWin-1.5.3-4 (from [1]) segfault. Using YOUR XWin with debug info etc., ROOT, hsimple.C etc. work fine, i.e. NO segfault etc. 2. Adding +bs at command line which starts XWin (in startxwin.bat) and then trying to run some ROOT OPENGL macro (geom/shapes.C, for example see [2]) then the macro fails to be excuted (see [2]), but it works if I omit '+bs' OR if I use the workaround described here [3] OR if I use YOUR debug XWin.exe! MAY YOU try [1] with the steps described in [2] and confir/or not the segfaults?

Just a thought for a work-around for testing, in case you or anyone else is interested. Install Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/), ZoneScreen (http://www.zoneos.com/zonescreen.htm), or another alternative.

Well, this is very confusing. I'm sorry, your our previous mail hadn't really made it clear to me that there was problem with glxgears etc. Just for my comprehension, can you explain again what happens if you run glxinfo and glxgears on 1.5.3-4. Don't worry about differences 1), 2) and 4), they are just artefacts of the quick way I made the test build. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: X11 apps failing after upgrade

Jon TURNEY — 2008-12-02T21:33:40

This appears to be an issue with connecting to the Cygwin/X server from X clients from older X versions running on Solaris See the thread at [1] This thread references [2] (and it can also be found at [3]), which would suggest this is not a cygwin specific issue, but seems to be something that has changed in the X.Org 1.5.x server. Those bugs reference some Solaris patches, which, as far as I can tell, upgrade X to a later version. Applying those is the only solution I know of at this time. I did some searching, but I can't find a X server patch for this issue. If you find a patch that someone else has written, please let me know! This is on my list of issues to investigate, but it is not straightforward for me to duplicate as I don't have a Solaris server to hand.

WMaker compile

Hello, let first start by introducing myself: I'm a long time linux user, and tired of rebooting the home machine because childrens can't play Zoo Tycon under linux. I've just fiddled a bit with WindowMaker, and finally compiled the latest version, 0.92. It ran out of the box, configured as CC=gcc-4 CPP=cpp-4 CXX=g++-4 ../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --localstatedir=/var --datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-gnustepdir=/usr/lib/GNUstep/System Two explanations: 1) the path reflect the way there are setup in the corresponding debian package 2) I compiled it under gcc-4 In order to make it run: 1) create a ~/.xserverrc file with export CYGWIN=server exec X :0 This ensures the X server starts with the MIT-SHM ewtension enabled, run 'cygserver-config' once to have the required service enabled under Windows 2) launch wmaker at the end of .xinitrc as exec env CYGWIN=server LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8 wmaker This ensures that wmaker can access

RE: Installed CygwinX and xhost not found

James Ferguson — 2008-12-02T18:15:46

Lots of apps have moved into their own packages. xhost can be found in the X11 group, to be installed on its own. However, it's generally a good option to connect to your client with "ssh -Y" and then you can display directly, without using xhost. I have a Cygwin-X menu item, with "XWin server" option in it. I think that's a default install... It runs /usr/bin/startxwin.bat (which was created/installed automatically). If you don't have that it must have been one of the X11 items I selected - not sure which.

Recent X11 upgrade and getting _gl?? Undefined references compiling another package

Brian Keener — 2008-12-02T18:07:40

I periodically do test compile for OpenSceneGraph in Cygwin and up until I recently accidentally updated to the latest X11 stuff the compiles had been working fine. With the recent change I now getting a lot of undefined references for various _gl?? References. I posted this to the OpenSceneGraph list and they suggested I also post here. The package uses ccmake/cmake and from the settings in ccmake when I review them it seems to be properly finding OpenGl according to cmake as: OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR /usr/include OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY /usr/lib/w32api/libopengl32.a OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY /usr/lib/w32api/libglu32.a the following is the errors and I have include the output from cygcheck -a -r -v. Is this related to the upgrade or something else - any and all suggestion or answers greatly appreciated.

Installed CygwinX and xhost not found

RICHARD RASO — 2008-12-02T18:03:09

Hi, I have just installed CygwinX on my new laptop which is running MS XP Pro version 2002 service pack 2. I used install options All User and Unix mode. I also took the default of downloading all packages. I am trying to setup a X window environment so I can run the Oracle Universal Installer to load Oracle onto my zOS mainframe environment. The first time I started Cygwin from the desktop short cut, I issue the command xhost + , I then received the error message 'bash: xhost not found'. So I have searched the FAQs and found a note that says to add a path statement to correct this problem. Next, I remembered the installation said I could customize the C:\cygwin\home\rraso\.bash_profile by adding this statement PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:$PATH".So I customized the profile and retried the shortcut, followed by xhost +, same resulting error message. After removing the change, I tried inserting the path statement into the Cygwin.BAT file, both before the change directory command and after the bash l

X11 apps failing after upgrade

James Ferguson — 2008-12-02T14:56:01

All help gratefully received! I haven't found this problem through searches, apologies if I've been searching for the wrong terms. In my first update in a few months I picked up the major upgrade to the X server. XWin -version now reports 1.5.3.0. After having the problems below I did a full reinstall of Cygwin, with no success. My symptoms look similar to tunneling via `ssh -X`, but it happens with both `ssh -Y`, and when I do `xhost +` and display directly to :0 without ssh tunneling. My client machine is Solaris. Everything worked fine before the update. I'm running the installed startxwin.bat startup (with xterm REM'd out). I can display xclock fine. xterm appears up, but as soon as I hit a key it crashes with: $ xterm xterm: warning, error event received: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 136 (XKEYBOARD) Minor opcode of failed request: 16 (XkbSetNamedIndicator) Serial number of failed request: 117

tooltips not working for gnome-pannel or metacity window manager

Matthijs Melchior — 2008-11-30T15:45:47

Hi, A day after upgrading to the new Cygwin/X with the X.Org 7.4 server, I have noticed that the tool-tips for the window manager buttons behave erratically, just flashing 2 times per second. And the tool-tips for the top Gnome panel do not appear at all. I have the following configuration: A Windows/XP SP3 host with Cygwin, updated yesterday (2008-11-29). A Debian Linux machine where I run the Gnome desktop. This is now displayed using the new Cygwin XWin server. Using its local display, the Linux/Gnome system behaves correctly, when I point to a 'close' button then and after half a second, the tool-tip with "Close Window" appears and stays on the screen for about 4 seconds. This is used with Debian Linux: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.2-9 xserver-xorg-video-nv 1:2.1.10-1 On the remote display, connected to the Windows machine running Cygwin/X 7.4, the tool-tip flashes 2 times per second when I point at a Gnome close button, and flashing does not stop after 4 seconds.

I have done the above, but the 'XWin.exe' you propose DOES NOT segfault! However I note: 1. it has the icon of X11R6.99, not that of X11R7.4 2. with it, I have the keyboard layout problem described here [1], and rebasing does not solve 3. with it not only ROOT, hsimple.C etc. work but the OpenGL demos work without the workaround described here [2] (remember the OpenGL problems here [3]). Apart from 2., with your XWin.exe, ROOT works just as with the old X11R6...
