Dr.-Ing. Samy Alex ZAIMI Tohoku University - Sendai (Japan) --------------A648F70B0F1916CB17F9FAF7 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all,

I have cygwin B20.1 on a W95B laptop computer, and I am using the free X server from MicroImages.
I usually lauch 'xs.exe' from the desktop (by clicking on an appropriate icon), then from a bash shell I use one of the following window managers (by the way, are there others around ?) :
1. mwm &
2. fvwm2 &
3. twm &
Well, I have problems with each of them.

When I use the first one, I have troubles at start up : 

helios:~$ mwm &
[1] 1086
helios:~$ Warning: Cannot convert string "variable" to type FontStruct
Cannot find configuration file.  Using builtin defaults.
 at line 0
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".


So, what is going on ?
Beside, each time I want to start an application, I have : 

helios:~$     0       0 [main] D:\USR\CYGNUS\BIN\BASH.EXE 1088 handle_exceptions
: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    0    1166 [main] BASH 1088 handle_exceptions: Dumping stack trace to BASH.EX
E.core
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
Xlib:  extension "SHAPE" missing on display "127.0.0.1:0.0".
with a BASH.EXE.core on my starting directoty.

When I try the second, I have : 

helios:~$ [GetFontOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-14
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, trying 'fixed'
I suspect a font installation problem. How to solve that ?

When I try the third one, I have no problem, except with 'xterm' : 

helios:~$ xterm &
[2] 1107
" to type FontStructannot convert string "nil2
Is it really a problem ? I don't know.

Could anyone send me suggestions, share experience, give me some hints and so on. The archive list contains few things about these topics, really few things...

Thanks in advance.
