Jon, Yes I saw that posting in XmingNotes. Since the config files in question impact ALL users of the AIX host, I can't modify them. However, I am able to successfully use Xming without modifying them. I do have to turn on and off my NumLock key... but I can live with that. I do NOT have the Freeze issue with Xming, that I do with Cygwin-X... ...However, I believe Xming is based upon an "earlier" version of X-Org: Welcome to the Xming X Server Vendor: Colin Harrison Release: 6.9.0.31 The Xming website says this version was released: 4 May 2007 Lets hope that there's an upstream fix to the problem, so that I can go back to using Cygwin-X exclusively. -tony -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
