Hi. I've installed Cygwin and xfree86 in the hope of controlling clients running on a remote machine. Both Cygwin and Xfree appear to install correctly, only the X-server runs very sluggishly, averaging at about 3 or 4 frames per second. This happens whenever I start the X-server, with or without connecting to the remote machine. Slowness seems to be independent of the mouse (meaning that even commands entered into xterm via keyboard appear to lag)
Hardware: AMD athlon 500 512Mb RAM 2Gb HD space Free 1x AGP TNT2, running at 1280x1024 / 32bpp 1x PCI TNT, running at 1280x1024 / 16bpp 1x PCI Matrox Mystique, running at 1152x864 / 16bpp Software: Windows 2000, relativley fresh installation, no firewalls or socket managers installed (to my knowledge) CygwinNT 5.0 . I've tried closing every proccess windows2000 lets me, one by one, with no successs. . I've tried disabling each display card in sequence, running at different resolutions and bbp, no success. Any time I have any trouble with software that doesn't like me multi-monitoring, disabling the other 2 screens *always* works. . I've tried cygwin/xfree on a p200 with windows 98, got much better performance, hence I assume my athlon 500 is up to the job. . I've tried telling the X-server to run fullscreen and at various resolutions and bpps. . Re-installed DirectX, no joy Any suggestions? or anything I don't know about? sorry if you get this question about 5,000 times a day, but i've tried everything and really want to use thise software - it looks like the most promising widows2000/X-server solution avaliable. cheers, [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq: 13013913
