Problems with tcsh on startup of cygwin X

Each time I start up cygwin-X I get these error messages in the Xterm 
window that lingers after the Xterm windows opens.  This is frustrating 
because it just make it that much harder to use cygwin on Windows 7.  
Clogs up the task bar with processes that you can't use.  Anyway, any 
ideas on why tcsh is failing.

      2 [main] tcsh 976 C:\Xwin\bin\tcsh.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't

startxwin.exe and emulate3buttons

In the previous version of Cygwin/X, when XWin.exe was started by 
startxwin.bat, I was able to specify the emulate3buttons option to 
simulate a middle mouse button press by pressing the right and left 
buttons simultaneously.  Now that I must use startxwin.exe to start the 
X Server, how do I specify this?

Thanks!
Anthony

Problem getting clipboard from xcutsel

Hello,

I just upgraded to Cygwin 1.7. Immediately after, xcutsel stopped working 
correctly - sometimes it copies text from an xterm to the Windows 
clipboard, sometimes not. Sometimes when I try to paste into Lotus Notes 
something I copied with xcutsel, Notes tells me it is unable to access the 
clipboard. Most of the time it just doesn't paste anything. Sometimes I 
can go back to xcutsel, click copy 0 to PRIMARY, and it works. 

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: screen pixel density VS startxwin.exe

Dear Alexandre

as of xinit-1.2.0-2, startxwin.bat amd startxwin.sh are no more.  See

Vista, new install, x server does not start, startxwin.bat missing

We installed cygwin/x on a new acer laptop (vista). 

The X server does not start  from the icon, and the x server does not start
from the command line startx

The batch script startxwin.bat  is not present.

The cygcheck and var log files are attached.

Thank you
M. C. Nelson

Your XWin.0.log file indicates that the server is already started.  This 
means the
server is:

   1. Already started.
   2. Colliding with another server on the same ports (6000)
   3. Blocked by a firewall.

'netstat' can be used to help you diagnose (2) if (1) and (3) aren't the 
problem.

Don't panic about the absence of startxwin.bat.  startxwin.(bat|sh) have been 
retired in favour of a shiny new startxwin.exe [1] in an effort to make... X 
server startup more reliable 

I've finally got around to updating the Cygwin/X User Guide [2] to take note 
of this fact

The syntax for specifying additional server options is documented in 'man 
startxwin'

You want 'startxwin.exe -- -emulate3buttons'
