Geert, I don't know what you are trying to say here.
My response to Jean-Claude was light-hearted (I said my dog was fine): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-09/msg00279.html Ben responded to me throwing my hands in the air with a much more detailed account of his situation (notice that the message subject changed back to RH 7.3 from our off-list subject of Cygwin List Posts): http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-09/msg00280.html I then responded with some information that was probably helpful: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-09/msg00281.html After that there was no response, so I can only assume that the 1024x768x65535 was causing the problem (or his RedHat machine was not in runlevel 5). So Geert, I have misunderstood your postings before... what have I misunderstood this time?
