[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.17.1-1 (TEST)

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: xorg-server-1.17.1-1 (TEST)

[Jon TURNEY]

The following packages have been updated in the Cygwin distribution:

*** xorg-server-*1.17.1-1

These packages contain XWin and the other X.Org X11 servers.

These packages are currently available as a test release, and will be 
made stable in approximately two weeks, if no major regressions are 
reported.

Please try test releases and report problems to the Cygwin/X mailing 
list.  Testing helps ensure good releases!

In addition to upstream fixes [1], this contains the following 
cygwin-specific changes since 1.17.0-1:

* Improve the RANDR data returned so a primary output exists (Fixes an 
issue with GDM, see [2])
* Make the XDMCP session options -query,-indirect,etc. imply -listen tcp

NOTEWORTHY CHANGES IN 1.17
==========================

The creation of indirect GLX contexts is now prohibited by default.  The 
+iglx option is required to allow them.  See [3] for more information on 
possible OpenGL configurations.

'-nolisten tcp' is now the default, so the server only accepts local 
connections on a unix domain socket.  A '-listen' option has been added 
which can be used to restore the previous behaviour.

That is correct.

OK,

$ DISPLAY=:0.0 ./libXbgi_mandelbrot.out

works. This seems enough..


If I understand, the option '-listen tcp' is needed to make it backward 
compatible with DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0. Right?

Thanks,
  Angelo.

This is an intentional change.

I think you will need to write DISPLAY=:0.0, or add the new '-listen 
tcp' X server option.

Just for completeness...

While installing the TEST version of Cygwin, a "next" was clicked too 
soon and these 'xorg' packages were installed. OK.

The fact is that I have some X apps which I run from command line 
(MinTTY) as in this example:

$ DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 ./libXbgi_helios_orbits.out

Obviously, I have already started the X server, from a link on tool bar, 
being

target: C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote bash -l -c "rm -rf /tmp/.X*; 
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error 2>/dev/null &"


But with this 1.7.1 release, I get always:

   Cannot connect to X server

even if the X server is running (the X icon on sys-tray, with all its 
items menu if one right clicks..)

Reverting to 1.6 fixes the issue...


Ciao,
  Angelo.
