xserv 4.3.0-48 problems

Note! This is *not* a complaint. I love CygWin + xfree86, and I chose to
be at the bleeding edge because of it.

Something terribly wrong happened when I upgraded to -48. Of course
CygWin setup.exe upgraded oodles of other stuff as well....

There is a raft of regressions, so I suspect there must be a common
cause.

- copy&paste from windows to Evolution no longer works.
- copy&paste from linux to windows no longer works.
- When I press alt-2, I no longer get "@", but "2", Norwegian keyboard.
- Evolution shows a disturbing error message upon startup:
'Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost:10.0".'
- If I right click on my "Inbox" in Evolution, I no longer get a menu as
I used to, but lots of error messages from Evolution(after which
Evolution is no longer responsive).
- Rendering in Office/Evolution is no longer double buffered, and it is
considerably slower when rendering e.g. spreadsheets.
- I'm sure there are other problems, but it is a bit hard to take the
thing for a proper spin in its current state.

Things tried:

- compiled from source, but no difference in behaviour.
- downgraded to -46, same problem.

The only thing that I can think of trying, is to wipe my CygWin
installation and reinstall from scratch.

Did you try the ForwardX11Trusted configuration that has been discussed here
over the last few days?

Re: xserv 4.3.0-48 problems

[Harold L Hunt II]

Andrew is right, it sounds like most of your problems are due to the fun 
Trusted X11 change in OpenSSH.  That is a problem that can be solved by 
reading OpenSSH documentation; it is not a Cygwin/X specific problem.

The problem with your keyboard layout could be related to XF86Config 
files no longer being supported.  If you were specifying a keyboard in 
that file, then you will have to change to instead specifying that 
keyboard on the command-line to XWin.exe, using the parameters that 
Alexander described a few days ago.  Unless, of course, you still have 
the same keyboard problems even with XFree86-xserv-4.3.0-46, in which 
case your keyboard problems might also be caused by ssh...

Ahem.

Please ignore my previous post.

As was kindly pointed out below, adding a line to ~/.ssh/config is all 
thats needed, which I did and everything is now bliss again.

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2004-03/msg00009.html

To my feeble defense it isn't easy to work backwards from the symptoms to 
solution on this one, though I should have combed the mailing list more
carefully.

The keyboard problem was also the missing line in ~/.ssh/config, works fine now.
