Hello all, thanks for listening,
I have a problem starting/working in Xfree under
cygwin. I installed Xfree manually some time ago and
figured that it would be easier maintaining it under
the setup.exe by cygwin. I uninstalled X and
proceeded to install it from scratch with the cygwin
utility setup.exe (selecting the base package).
Unfortunately, the new installation did not work
properly. Unpon seeing that, I unsinstalled the
package unsing the standard setup.exe utility and
removed the /etc/X11 and the /usr/X11R6 branches (rm
-Rf) to make sure no old config files would remain. I
reinstalled the X base package with setup.exe and it
still does not work. I have tried to start X using
the startx and the startxwin.sh methods without
complete success.
They result in different behaviours however...
1- Starting X with startxwin.sh from bash in
/dev/conin
When starting X with the command startxwin.sh I
manage to get X running with the main window with the
aquamarine4 background. I even get the mouse shape
for to indicate the position of a new window (xterm).
When I try to position the window (which is called
bash or unnamed), the mouse switch to the traditional
X but no xterm appears. I can get the the twm menu
with most functionalities working (show iconmgr,
hide, move , delete, etc.) but no xterm. I get the
mouse changing shape but no window appears. Just in
case, I join the /tmp/Xwin.log file at the end.
2- Starting X with startx from bash in /dev/conin
Using startx command leaves me hanging for a few
second. Then ne main window appears followed by the
clock that is specified in the .xinitrc file in ~/.
X stop and the main window disapears with some error
messages :
waiting for X server to shut down XIO: fatal IO error
104 <Connection reset by peer> on X server ":0.0"
after 279 requests <278 known processed> with 2
events remaining.
XIO: fatal IO error 110 <Cannot send after transport
endpoint shutdown> on X server ":0.0"
after 58 requests <49 known processed> with 0 events
remaining.
(the number of requests varies from time to time)
I provide at the end the ~/.xinitrc. The
startxwin.sh is the standard one that comes with the
package. I have added a few lines in the ~/.xinitrc
that were working in the old manual installation of
X. I also provide information that may be useful like
the version of packages.
I would truely appreciate any help to find and solve
this problem. Any ideas or thoughts would be most
welcome.
