Re: X11 becomes unresponsive with complex client programs


Jon,

Indeed, -dumbSched causes this problem to disappear. I have attached another cygcheck.out on the off chance that it will be helpful. When I wrote this file, all my Cygwin packages were up to date, and git-cola was executing OK (no hangs).

This problem occurs with recent releases of Cygwin/X11. The attached
cygcheck.out indicates the last X11 version that works well: 1.18-4.1.
All other cygwin packages are up to date.

Thanks for reporting this problem.

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce it.

However, I suspect this may be caused by switching to the smart
scheduler by default in xorg-server 1.19.0-1.

So, the first thing I'd suggest you try is adding -dumbSched to the X
server options to see if this makes a difference (e.g. 'startxwin --
-dumbSched'
