From: Jon TURNEY <jon.turney@dronecode.org.uk> To: cygwin-xfree-announce@cygwin.com Subject: Updated: xorg-server-1.9.2-1 Date: Wed, 03 Nov 2010 23:41:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <4CD1D025.309@dronecode.org.uk> (raw) The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution: *** xorg-server-1.9.2-1 *** xorg-server-dmx-1.9.2-1 These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers. In addition to upstream fixes, this contains the following cygwin-specific changes since 1.9.0-2: * Rewrite of the way clipboard thread is started, which should improve clipboard robustness in XDMCP session (thanks to Michel Hummel) * Fix clipboard interaction with nxproxy (and possibly other X clients) (thanks to Roland Cassard) * Fix WM_DISPLAYCHANGE handling in windowed mode to not resize the X screen * Don't write list email address into log * Fix random DPI after resize * Implement WGL AIGLX for non-toplevel X windows WGL AIGLX ========= The experimental WGL AIGLX mode (activated by the XWin command line option '-wgl') which enables hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering in the X server using the native WGL OpenGL interface, should now be working well enough to be useful. I'd very much like to hear reports of success or failure with specific OpenGL applications. For remote clients, you must 'export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1' before starting the client application to force indirect rendering. For local clients, the recent update of libGL1 to 7.8.2-1 makes indirect rendering the default, so no special steps are needed. Please ensure you are using the latest display drivers for your graphics hardware before reporting any visual issues with WGL. Known problems: - OpenGL windows with static contents aren't re-drawn when occluded by a native Window and then exposed. Workaround: force the window to redraw, e.g. by resizing it. - When an OpenGL window is behind a native application window which uses layered windows for translucency e.g mintty, the OpenGL rendering is drawn over the top, flickering. Apparently, if we want to avoid this, we need to do the OpenGL rendering offscreen, then transfer it our window, so this becomes most of the 'use native compositing in multiwindow mode' todo list item. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer CYGWIN-XFREE-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO ====================================== If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-xfree-announce mailing list, please use the automated form at: http://cygwin.com/lists.html#subscribe-unsubscribe If this does not work, then look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
