Hi, I have been using for long time cygwin on WinXP Prof 32bit and the terminal I always use is the rxvt. Everything has always worked properly. Now I will get a new PC and I am thinking to switch to windows 7 64bit (the official release just released some days ago), so I am doing some tests because the not-correct-functionality of cygwin and rxvt would be a no-go for it.
Up to now almost everything seem to work. The only problem that I have is: * I start one rxvt console --> fast startup, I get fast the prompt, everything nice. * I keep that console open and I start another rxvt console --> the rxvt window pops up, but until I get the prompt it stays in a "loading/not responding" state for 5 to 8 seconds. Then once I get the prompt everything works fine * same thing with every rxvt console I open afterward (without closing the previous ones). * I close all of them, I start again the procedure --> same result: the first is fast all other are slow. I have tried: to change my $HOME, to change/delete all my point files, to start rxvt with different options (for example: C:\Programme\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe or C:\Programme\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn "Courier New-16" -bg "ivory1" -fg black -sr -sl 1000 -vb -e /usr/bin/bash --login), to start it from a link on the desktop, to start it from the Start "bar" with the "default" links, to start it from the cywin console (after having started X) ... every time I get the same result. I have to say if I start the "cygwin" console it starts fast no matter now many of them are started. What's wrong? do you have any idea? this is rather annoying. p.s. I have already done a rebaseall. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
