Hi list,
I mainly use cygwin (and XFree) on a laptop. When it
is docked, I get a higher resolution than when it is
undocked.
If I start the X server in docked mode, I get an X
server in 1280x1024 resolution. If I undock, my
resolution drops to 1024x768, which is OK. However, if
I return to docked mode, then the X server clips both
screen refresh and mouse to the previous (lower)
resolution.
Is there something I can do so the X server returns to
the higher resolution from the docked mode?
Regards,
Olivier

Olivier,
That sounds like a bug that needs to be looked into.

Olivier,
[Not sure if you are subscribed, so cc'ing you.]
Could you send in the command-line that you use to start XWin.exe and
the /tmp/XWin.log file from an instance where this problem occurs?
I think that the problem is a side-effect of our clipper that we use...
but I need to know what parameters are being passed to XWin.exe before I
can confirm that.

Hi list,
The latest X server release 4.3.0-30 seems to have
solved this problem as I am unable to reproduce it!

Olivier
