User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20130801 Thunderbird/17.0.8 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: xinit hangs on XWin infinite loop when using -displayfd Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-IsSubscribed: yes X-SW-Source: 2014-07/txt/msg00008.txt.bz2 The operating system is Windows XP Professional. It is a CLEAN install on a VMware virtual machine and is 100% patched up. Cygwin also is a clean install. I did try a rebaseall with no effect. This is the first time I've encountered this. When I run "xinit -- -displayfd 3", xinit will hang and XWin takes up 100% of the cpu. I've confirmed that file descriptors are working: $ exec 3>a $ echo "test" >&3 $ cat a test $ exec 3>&- I can confirm that ports are available and that both xinit and XWin work without this argument by running: $ xinit -- Everything else works fine but without "-displayfd" I can't record where the display is for this session to disk. I've also tried copying known-working Cygwin installs into the VM and still have the same error. Copying the erroring install from the VM outside and running it on my development machine (Windows 7 x64) does not generate an error. Unless something stands out here, I can provide the VMware image for testing (how convenient).
