RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin/XFree86 Package: x2x-1.27-2

Sorry, can't help you. I don't have this type of setup, so I've never encountered the problem you are seeing.

I know I've seen this very question posted to this mailing list in the past. Perhaps you can find the answer you seek by searching the archives? Tip: Try using google with "site:cygwin.com" as the last search term.

Great news Thomas,

Um, since you know so much about dual-displays, maybe you could help me?

I'm running Cygwin XFree on a machine inside which I have installed two
video cards; this in effect creates a really large Windows desktop.

I'm just wondering if you know of any way to get the Cygwin XFree display
to either use the full desktop surface, or failing that, is there a way to
get Cygwin XFree to start up on the right-hand side of the display, because
it never seems to want to start on the second display...

Thanks in advance.

Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated Cygwin/XFree86 Package: x2x-1.27-2

ANNOUCEMENT

An update to the Cygwin/XFree86 package 'x2x' is now available.


DESCRIPTION

The usefulness of this utility will become apparent to anyone with a PC
side-by-side with an *ix workstation. Simply bring up an XWindows session
on each machine, run x2x on the PC, and use your PC's mouse and keyboard to
control your *ix workstation's display. Works better and is cheaper than a
KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) switch. It also works much like a multi-headed X
session.


RELEASE HISTORY

x2x-1.27-2 (current release):

Bugfix and enhancement release. Changes are:

1) Fixed problem in which x2x consumes nearly 100% of the CPU.
This was due to a problem in setting up a call to select(),
which was causing it to be non-blocking.

2) Added some includes and cleaned-up some code to cut down
on compiler warnings.

3) Added a whole new feature! Invoking x2d with a command-line
flag of "-capslockhack"causes it to wrap Shift key Press/
Release events around alpha keystrokes. I discovered I
needed this feature because the "to" display I have uses the
state of CapsLock on its attached keyboard to determine if
CapsLock is on (instead of obeying the CapsLock Press/Release
keyboard events).

x2x-1.27-1:

Initial Release. Vendor code built and package as-is.


KNOWN BUGS

Doesn't "work" very well with the new rootless mode of XWin.
I plan to fix this in a future release.


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save
it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'x2x' from the 'XFree86'
category. You may need to click the "Full" button if it doesn't show up.

Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed
due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a
mirror which has this update.

In the US, ftp://archive.progeny.com/cygwin/ is a reliable high bandwidth
connection.

In Japan, ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/gnu/gnu-win32/ is usually up-to-date.

In DK, http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/cygwin/ is usually up-to-date.

If one of the above doesn't have the latest version of this package you can
either wait for the site to be updated or find another mirror.

Please send questions or comments to the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing list
(mailto:cygwin-xfree@sources.redhat.com). If you want to subscribe go to
http://cygwin.com/lists.html. I would appreciate it if you would use the
mailing list rather than emailing me directly. This includes ideas and
comments about the setup utility or Cygwin/XFree86 in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question, the Cygwin/XFree86 mailing
list is the appropriate place.
