From: paul <Paul.Domaskis@gmail.com> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Xserver corresponds to display :1.0 instead of :0.0 Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 05:43:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <loom.20151016T074043-142@post.gmane.org> (raw) I have a very simple ~/.startxwinrc: xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources xterm -display :0.0 # xterm & exec sleep infinity Recently, I found that the xterm wasn't launching. I googled, read some cygwin threads about X authorities, but have to admit, I have a lot to learn about X windows. Anyway, since I could open an xterm by right clicking on the Cygwin/Xserver:1.0 app in the notification area of Windows 7, I sneakily (OK, it wasn't the craftiest thing in the world) echo'd $DISPLAY. Lo, it was 1.0, and the following works fine: xterm -display :1.0 & Yes, I know it says 1.0 in the tip for the Cygwin/Xserver:1.0 app, but I didn't actually look at that detail until now, as I'm posting. A google for the following doesn't turn up anything: cygwin xterm "-display :0.0" "display :1.0" I'm wondering if this was a planned change in how X-windows works or if something is awry with my setup, causing a server with display :0.0 to fail, and making go to :1.0. I did a browse of the cygin announce list on gmane (since the X-windows announce list is now obsolete), but no joy. And I would have expected anything to show up in my google search. Can anyone point me to the description of this change? If it is not a deliberate change, what would be a good approach to troubleshoot it? I have a file ~/.xsession-errors, but it is dated 2015-09-16, and I've used X-windows plenty since then. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
