I received a new laptop at work (Windows 7 Pro) and installed Cygwin from scratch, including the Xorg server and xdg.
Unlike my old laptop, XWIN seems to be using about 10% CPU *all the
time* (measured with Task Manager), even when there are no clients
connected to it. My ~/ home directory is the same, so the X server is
being set up the same way as before, as far as I can tell.
The processor is an I7-6600U with two cores, two threads/core. 10%
seems rather high, given that 25% would be one fully-utilitized
thread. I even updated the Intel video driver to the latest Dell
version, dated November 1, 2016. No change in behavior.
I've attached cygcheck.out and my X server log, but can anyone advise
how to track down the source of the problem? There does seem to be a
large number of winClipboardFlushXEvents failures in the Xwin log
file, but those are also in the log file on the old laptop.
This is how I'm starting the X server:
C:\Cygwin64\bin\run.exe --quote /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "cd; exec
/usr/bin/startxwin"
I am starting the X server with this line in .xserverrc
exec /usr/bin/XWin -notrayicon "$@"
Thanks - Jim
