From: "Yaakov (Cygwin/X)" <yselkowitz@users.sourceforge.net> To: cygwin-xfree-announce@cygwin.com Subject: Updated: xorg-server-1.5.3-7 Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:12:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <49A19A4D.4060806@users.sourceforge.net> (raw) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 The following package has been updated in the Cygwin net distribution: *** xorg-server-1.5.3-7 This release includes patches for the following issues: * added Xinerama support in some modes (more details below); * fixed Latin American keyboard layout detection; * remainder of Xming clipboard patches; * additional clipboard debugging messages; * fix for flickering when resizing in multiwindow mode; * removed references to obsolete -co flag from Xserver manpage. The Xinerama extension allows multiple physical monitors to be treated as one large X display while still being aware of each monitor as a separate entity. It is used, via libXinerama, by window managers to avoid placing new windows over the seam between monitors, desktop panels to constrain themselves to one monitor, and multimedia applications to use only one monitor in fullscreen mode. Immediate benefit of Xinerama will be to those who use Cygwin/X to login to a remote Linux or Solaris computer where this support is already available. Cygwin packages that could support Xinerama will need to be rebuilt with the recently-added libXinerama in order to enable that support. The Xinerama extension is now supported in the default (root window) and - -rootless modes ONLY. It must be explicitly enabled with the +xinerama flag, e.g.: XWin :0 [-clipboard] [-nodecoration] -screen 0 @1 -screen 1 @2 +xinerama Where @1 and @2 represent the monitors as enumerated by Windows. Please be aware of the following caveats of Xinerama: * When the Xinerama extension is *active* (IOW multiple screens are in use with the +xinerama flag), the Composite extension cannot be used and is automatically disabled. * Xinerama does not support on-the-fly changes to the monitor layout. * Xinerama is *NOT* working in -multiwindow or -mwextwm modes; PTC.
