RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 75

["Virgilio, Vincent" <Vincent dot Virgilio at itt dot com>]

Hi Harold,

Here's some data for what it's worth.

When I start X with the below startxwin.sh, I get usable, but flickering,
windows.  It looks like each is being selected in turn, very rapidly.
Beside that, it all works.  With multiwindow off, all works perfectly to my
eyes.

I'll go out on a limb here.  Might this be related to the standing duplicate
keystroke problem,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-12/msg00055.html?

I'm on NT4 with all Windows Updates (except .NET).

Thank you, and regards,

Vince Virgilio

# A user has reported that setting DISPLAY to the actual hostname

# give this a try and see if it causes and problems.
# Use DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 if you have problems.

# Startup the X Server, the twm window manager, and an xterm.
# 
# Notice that the window manager and the xterm will wait for
# the server to finish starting before trying to connect; the
# error "Cannot Open Display: 127.0.0.1:0.0" is not due to the
# clients attempting to connect before the server has started, rather
# that error is due to a bug in some versions of cygwin1.dll.  Upgrade
# to the latest cygwin1.dll if you get the "Cannot Open Display" error.
# See the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ for more information:
# http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
#
# The error "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'" is
# caused by using a DOS mode mount for the mount that the Cygwin/XFree86
# fonts are accessed through.  See the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ for more
