[ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 96

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 96

[Harold L Hunt II]

Links:

I just posted Test 96 to the server development page:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/

You can install the Test 96 package via setup.exe by selecting the
following version of the XFree86-xserv package:		4.3.0-4

Server Test Series binary and source code releases are now
available via the sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network
(http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the
pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/shadow/ directory.  You may wish to note the
desired filename in the links below, then download from your
closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).

Server binary, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test96.exe.bz2 (1265 KiB)

Server source, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-20030827-1505.tar.bz2 (127
KiB)

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against Test95 source code:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-Test95-to-Test96.diff
(50 KiB)


Changes:

1) winprefs* - Add a system to allow the user to specify arbitrary
commands for the system tray menu (e.g. program launching shortcuts)
as well as custom icons for certain window classes.  This is a huge
system and is really very amazing.  Preferences are stored in
~/.XWinrc or in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/system.XWinrc, which is formatted
as in this example .XWinrc file 
(http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/example.XWinrc).  (Earle F. 
Philhower III)

2) winmultiwindowclass.c - Fix a string copy bug in MultiWindow mode
that was likely to have been causing crashes for some people.  (Earle
F. Philhower III)

3) winconfig.c - Add new defaults for keyboardlayout: English (USA,
Dvorak) and Norwegian.  (Alexander Gottwald)
Enjoy,

Harold

I have downloaded and installed XFree86-xserv 4.3.0-4, but it seems that 
it holds the old version of XWin.exe. In fact the menu doesn't work, 
while if I download the binary at 
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test96.exe.bz2 it works.

Bye,

P.S. Thank your very much for Cygwin-XFree: it's wonderful!

Danilo,

When you say that the menu doesn't work, do you mean that you have 
created a valid .XWinrc file and Test96 uses it while 4.3.0-4 ignores it?

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 96

[Harold L Hunt II]

Danilo,

You are right.  I forgot a crucial step in the packaging of 4.3.0-4. 
4.3.0-5 is on its way to mirrors and should be the correct version this 
time.

Thanks for catching this,

Harold

The "Alt Gr" key doesn't work properly on the Norwegian keyboard.
When pressing "Alt Gr"+2 to get "@" in GNU Emacs, I get "C-2" in the
minibuffer instead.

Looks like "Alt Gr" may be interpreted as the control key?  Is there a
way to debug this?

This is in rootless mode, and without an XF86Config file, on
xfree86-xserv 4.3.0-5, which is the one I got when I ran setup.exe
today, to upgrade my cygwin installation.

Do you have Windows XP? This is a known problem. 

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00080.html

Hm... I'm not using XDMCP, and this worked in the previous release of
the server, when setting the keyboard with the XF86Config file(*)
Also, I don't think it's the same problem, because my AltGr works,
only it's interpreted as Ctrl.

Or so I think.  I'll look at it later today.  No time now.


- Steinar

(*) I tried using the XF86Config file on this release as well, but the
    behaviour was the same as with autodetect of the keyboard.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 96

[Harold L Hunt II]

Steinar,

Perhaps Test99/4.3.0-9 fixes your problem?

AltGr is CTRL on Norwegian keyboard (Was: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server...)

Nope.  I did an update today, and the AltGr button still misbehaves.
I ran xev and pressed and released AltGr.  Here's the result:

    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 12190428, (79,107), root:(85,132),

You don't have any of the Windows PowerToys installed, do you?

Not intentially.

Can they be installed during a service pack upgrade?  Can they be
remotely installed by "helpful" IT support people?  Is there a way to
find out if I have them installed?

And do PowerToys exist for Win2k? (a search for powertoy on
www.google.com just popped up "Powertoys for XP)

I have the same problems here with a German keyboard. The pressing of the key 
with (less,greater,bar) does not result in any character.

This worked until I decided to upgrade from Windows NT to Windows XP.

What else beside the data given below can I easily do to help debugging this 
problem?

Here is what xev prints:

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 3822466, (194,186), root:(198,233),
    state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001,
    root 0x3a, subw 0x0, time 3822566, (194,186), root:(198,233),
    state 0x0, keycode 94 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

Now the output of Spy++:

Two times pressing AltGr:

Re: AltGr is CTRL on Norwegian/German keyboard

[Heiko Nardmann]

Another interesting detail: inside the KDM login (I access a Linux server 
using XDMP) the problematic key works fine. So where is the difference here?

Re: AltGr is CTRL on Norwegian/German keyboard

[Heiko Nardmann]

Hi again!

Further facts on keyboard problems:

- after removal of XF86Config nothing changes
- connecting to a Solaris machine running CDE inside the session works fine 
but the Linux machine running KDE still has problems
- on the Linux machine: when pressing AltGr then the following appears inside 
the .xsession-errors file:

kdecore (KAccel): WARNING: Sym::initQt( ffff ): failed to convert key.

Maybe this is a KDE problem?

Re: AltGr is CTRL on Norwegian/German keyboard

[Heiko Nardmann]

Hi!

I just wanted to state that after updating to the newest Cygwin Software my 
problem with the missing <,>,| keys disappeared. Although I do not know what 
specifically made this happen ...

A again very happy Cygwin/XFree86 User ...
