text/binary mounts


I've seen Suhaib say many many times that one *must* be
using binary mounts for cygwin/xfree86 to work correctly -
indeed, that's one of the things that kept me from trying
it again, since I use only text mounts.

However, it seems to be working just fine with text mounts.
Here are some details of my setup:

Win2k, SP1
Cygwin 1.3.1
XFree86 4.0.3 and various of Harold's tests

my mount table looks like (in part):

E:\Local\cygwin on / type system (textmode)
E:\Local\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
E:\Local\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)

and my startup script is:

@echo off

SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=.;%PATH%;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin
SET XFCE_DATA=\cygwin\usr\X11R6\var

bash -c "nohup bash -c 'xwin -screen 0 1280x1024x32 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 -engine 4 &'" &
bash -c "nohup bash -c 'xfwm &'" &
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-12" -e bash

@echo on

obviously I'm not complaining - I'm just reporting that
contrary to the recommendations, text mounts seem to work
fine
