RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 75


Anders,

One note for you though:

The parameters -rootless, -multiwindow, -scrollbars, and (-nodecoration
and -lesspointer) cannot all be used at once like that.

You should be using instead:
start XWin -multiwindow -clipboard

Now, you also need to REM out any windowmanager (twm, mwm, etc.) and you
need to REM out xwinclip.

I suspect that you are starting xwinclip, which is causing a crash when you
also use -clipboard.

Makes perfect sense (I bet I could have figured that out on my own...).
Sorry to bug you.

Anders,

You are going to have to start helping by sending this email to
cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com.  I don't respond to personal emails related to
Cygwin/XFree86.  There are many other people on the list that can help, so
your response will always be faster if you email the list.

Harold

When I start this build up with the -clipboard option, using:

start XWin -clipboard -rootless -multiwindow -nodecoration -lesspointer
-rootless -scrollbars -terminate

It crashes on startup.  Removing "-clipboard" stops the crash.

Let me know if I can help you figure this out.

Links:

I just posted Test 75 to the server development page:
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/

You can install the Test 75 package via setup.exe by selecting the
'test' package (and be sure to check the 'Bin' box): XFree86-xserv-4.2.0-23

Server Test Series binary and source code releases are now
available via the sources.redhat.com ftp mirror network
(http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html) in the
pub/cygwin/xfree/devel/shadow/ directory.  You may wish to note the
desired filename in the links below, then download from your
closest mirror (http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html).

Server binary, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test75.exe.bz2 (1202 KiB)

Server source, direct link:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-20030126-2245.tar.bz2 (107
KiB)

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin (all files) diff against Test74 source code:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/xwin-Test74-to-Test75.diff (4 KiB)


Changes:

1) winshaddd[nl].c/winReleasePrimarySurfaceShadowDD[NL] - Check that
pddsPrimary is not NULL before calling
IDirectDrawSurface[2|4]_SetClipper.  This most likely showed up as a
crash during video depth changes.  (Alexander Gottwald)

2) winshaddd.c - Change a few accidental IDirectDrawSurface4
references to IDirectDrawSurface2.  (Harold Hunt)


Enjoy,

Harold
