Re: 50% of xterms do not appear on screen.


The issue has been resolved.  The new drivers for the logitec camera
decided to hook into every single DLL on the system.  Uninstalling the
driver solves the issue.

Hi,

To start off with I have been using Cygwin for years and I must
aplaude all of the dev team for the great work they do. Unfortunatly I
have hit a snag which I really puzzeling me.

I normally start an Xwin.exe server at startup. This works fine and
the process runs. The I start xterm.exe processes using the attached
script. Now about half the xterm that I start do not seem to hook into
the Xwin server the other half hook fine and show me an xterm screen.
It's just completely random and I cannot figure for the life of me
what is stopping these hooks.

Here is the output of Xwin.exe:
_XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

So we do the only thing that windows is really good at. Uninstall
reboot and reinstall. No dice… Same problems. If I look at the taskmgr
then I have about 40 xterms of which only 20 or so are on the screen.
If I kill the X server then it only tells me that 20 clients are
connected.

Start xterm script:
@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin
SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%

SET XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale

REM Main programming Window
C:\cygwin\bin\run C:\cygwin\bin\xterm -cr red -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar
-ms red -fg white -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash

Anyone have any clue on how to solve this?
