Is this running a particular X application? Or before you even start one?

Before I start one.. Just starting X with the link I described. I have 
that link on the desktop and in Automatic Run, so just loging in starts 
the X server. Killing all XWin and starting the X clicking the link on 
the Desktop DOES NOT fix but has the same result. Only if I start with 
-nowgl option I get the normal "fluidity" of the mouse pointer.. (as 
before you released 1.11.4-1...

Ciao,
Angelo.

Very strange.

When you get the jerky mouse pointer, is the CPU usage high? If so, is it XWin
which is using it? or is it idling?

Really no... For example,

top - 12:08:12 up 6 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Tasks:   4 total,   1 running,   3 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

Re: xwin.exe 1.11.4-1 segmentation fault on startup (-wgl -multiwindow)

Dear Jon,

Thank you for your quick response and the fix. Now XWin starts without crashing. Attached please see the new log-file.

> You don't appear to be using a graphics card driver with OpenGL acceleration

Good point. My system is a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 - it contains two different graphics systems:

1) integrated Intel HD Graphics system (driver 8.15.10.2538)

2) Nvidia Quadro 1000M (latest driver version 285.62 supporting all core features of OpenGL 4.2)

XWin seems to "run" (or to "detect" or to "talk to") with the integrated Intel HD graphics system ("GDI
generic") and not with the Nvidia Quadro 1000M. How can I change this behaviour? When starting an
application within Windows 7 I can usually choose in the context menu which of the two graphics processors
to use. How do I do this from within Cygwin?

Thank you.

- Christian

How to properly start xwin at windows seven startup?

I've had an old version of Cygwin running on a WinXP laptop for quite
a while.  I made it run "startxwin.bat" on startup.  I'm now setting
up the latest Cygwin on a Win7 laptop.  The FAQ is saying to not use
the "startxwin.bat" file (as it doesn't exist anymore), and use the
exe file. However, it also says to not start it directly from Windows.
 It needs to be started from a login shell.  What is the proper way to
start the Xwin server at Windows startup?  I didn't see this in the
FAQ, and I didn't find any obvious answers in searches.

Presuming you want to start XWin in multiwindow mode, the xinit package
installs an "XWin Server" shortcut into the Start Menu.  Copy this
shortcut into your Startup folder and you should get the desired result.
