Hi,
i just installed latest 1.7.9-1 with setup.exe programm in WinXP Prof.
I configured nothing so far. I ran startx -- -multiwindow -clipboard
and it works, great!
To enable shared memory (MIT-SHM) I ran
Anmeld@AAnmeldung ~ cygserver-config
/usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 6: $'\r': command not found
/usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 10: $'\r': command not found
/usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 13: $'\r': command not found
/usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `$'\r''
'usr/bin/cygserver-config: line 14: `request()
There seem to be DOS carriage returns in it.
A little bug in 1.7.9-1 ?
# cat cygserver-config | head -n 20
#!/bin/bash
#
# cygserver-config, Copyright 2003 Red Hat Inc.
#
# This file is part of the Cygwin DLL.
# Directory where the config files are stored
SYSCONFDIR=/etc
LOCALSTATEDIR=/var
progname=$0
auto_answer=""
request()
{
if [ "${auto_answer}" = "yes" ]
then
echo "$1 (yes/no) yes"
return 0
elif [ "${auto_answer}" = "no" ]
okay, i run dos2unix cygserver-config on my linux machine (lenny).
I copied cygserver-config back and it was running a little bit.
I asked me whether I want to run cygserver as service, I answered
"yes" the the script prompts: "line 176: cygrunsrv not existing"
And indeed, cygrunsrv is not delivered in my installtion.
Is 1.7.9-1 alpha status? - Why is this version advised for
download and install?
Where can I get a running version? How can I delete the installed
version? - Deleting c:\cygwin directory?
thx
Ekkard

I found some stuff on my own:
searching "missing cygrunsrv" with google leaded me to a
not installed package cygrunsrv. I started setup.exe again,
selected the Admin -> cygrunsrv and installed the package.
Now cygserver-config runs, asked me whether to start cygserver
as service. I don't know why, I want to enabel shared memory only.
The skript telled me to have generated /etc/cygserver.conf.
I lookes at it: lots of options concerning shared mem. But
I don't understand ..
I uncommented some shared and shm stuff:
kern.srv.sharedmem yes
kern.ipc.shmmaxpgs 8192
kern.ipc.shmmni 192
kern.ipc.shmseg 128
After I stared cygwin again with startx -- -multiwindow ,
I typed "xhost +" so that kuickshow from a linux-Server
can be displayed. But kuickshow png and jpg rest black.
The script cygserver-config proposed me to start cygserver
as service. The cygserver within den cygserver as service??
I don't understand. But I did so:
net start cygserver
or
cygrunsrv -S cygserver
was proposed, I took net start cygserver within a cygwin terminal.
I got success messages. What is now better than before?
I started kuickshow from linux server again. But png and jpg
are still displayed black.
Is shared memory enabled now? How can I detect settings?
What have I to do to enabled shared memory?
thx!

While I am not knowledgeable in the details, I can (I hope)
clear up that point: cygwin shm support requires a background
server to help in the implementation.

Also, cygrunsrv != cygserver.

shared memory is indeed enabled with net start cygserver !
Starting "kuickshow" graphics viewer in a little bit newer
version 0.8.13 instead of 0.8.6 works!
The uncommented arguments enable shared memory, in WinXP
"Services" there ist a cygserver serice started with
net start cygserver. When I stop it in WinXP Services
the kuickshow picture become black again, thats the proof.
Unfortunately kuickshow in version 0.8.6 (Suse 9.2)
doesn't work with cygwin share memory, maybe the older
X-System of Suse 9.2 (xorg-6.8.1 ) ist the fault, I don't understand
much of that.
Perhaps somebody here has a further idea.
Thx to all for all who participated, thx for help!
