I have tried several of the different versions and they always crash when I attempt to run a display like netscape -display hostname:0.0 or xpdf -display hostname:0.0 will crash my xserver but if i run xterm -display hostname:0.0 it runs - no problem. seems the problem is with graphic intensive xsessions. Here is the windows error report. XWIN caused an invalid page fault in module CYGWIN1.DLL at 0167:61093b43. Registers: EAX=3D00000000 CS=3D0167 EIP=3D61093b43 EFLGS=3D00010246 EBX=3D00001db8 SS=3D016f ESP=3D0181ee10 EBP=3D0181ee28 ECX=3D1016e168 DS=3D016f ESI=3D1016e170 FS=3D5c8f EDX=3D00333366 ES=3D016f EDI=3D00000000 GS=3D0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 89 50 0c 01 fb 89 42 08 c7 41 0c c4 83 12 61 a1 Stack dump: 00000000 bff813f8 00000000 1016e170 1016e170 1038a220 0181ee58 6103eb65 181283b0 00310000 61128390 00000001 00000032 00000001 0181ee88 00000018 I reported this problem back on Dec 13 - which was caused by a prior version of xserv http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-12/msg00240.html you'll notice it's the same error - so it would be nice if the next version of xserv can address this problem. thanks joe baptista On Tue, 13 Jan 2004, [ISO-8859-1] =D8yvind Harboe wrote: > >What is "crashing"?
