RE: Cygwin Xfree 4.1.0 or 4.2.0 with old clients

["Harold Hunt" <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Try this:

>From Linux machine running XFree86 4.1.0 or XFree86 4.2.0, see how remote X
Clients running on your HP boxes work.

Interpretation of results:

1) If the behavior of the Linux box is the same as Cygwin/XFree86
4.1.0/4.2.0 then the problem has to do with XFree86 and its underlying
libraries (but has nothing to do with the Cygwin/XFree86 X Server).  This
does not mean there is a bug in XFree86.  It could be that Xlib from HP-UX
is known not to be compatible with the X standard (that's the way it is with
Sun's Xlib, I believe).  In this case, your best bet is either to search for
an updated X Window System from HP, or to install XFree86 for HP-UX (I
believe it exists).

2) If the behavior of the Linux box is the same as Cygwin/XFree86 4.0.1,
then there may be some sort of compile time error being built into
Cygwin/XFree86's libraries, or perhaps you've got an issue with binary/text
mounts on your Cygwin installation (I'm not certain that could affect the
mouse in X).


So, go forth and test!  :)
