Could someone please point out what I am missing? Cygwin/XFree works rock-solid for me as an x-terminal to a remote host.
However I cannot get -clipboard to work; Xwinclip works fine, but only if I delay running it until I've logged in to the remote host and executed "xhost +<my-pc-addr>". If I start Xwinclip sooner, it says: Xlib: connection to "<my-pc-addr>" refused by server Could not open display, try: 1, sleeping:4 It gets up to try 3 in about 10 seconds, then quits. Logging into the remote host takes up to a minute, after which xhost can be executed. Starting Xwinclip late enough that not all tries are used up works ok. Is there some setting I'm missing? Or does -clipboard include a similar timeout which could be extended? I've tried the telnet method described in the user guide, but it seems to have the same problem. xwin.bat script is: SET DISPLAY=<my-pc-addr>:0.0 SET PATH=.;\cygwin\bin;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH% start /B XWin-Test79.exe -query <host-addr> -kb -clipboard -nowinkill -nodecoration -unixkill -from <my-pc-addr> setting DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 doesn't help. The system is win2000 with a 1 GHz pentium. Extracting "clip" from the log gives: ---------------- % cat XWinrl.log|grep -i clip winCreatePrimarySurfaceShadowDDNL - Attached clipper to primary surface winFinishScreenInitFB - Calling winInitClipboard. winInitClipboard () winClipboardProc - Hello winClipboardProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winClipboardProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winClipboardProc - Calling setlocale () winClipboardProc - setlocale () returned winClipboardProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winClipboardProc - XInitThreads failed. ---------------- Many thanks ----------------------------------------------------------------- John Peters CSIRO National Measurement Laboratory PO Box 218 Phone: +61 2 9413 7503 Lindfield NSW 2070 Fax: +61 2 9413 7202 Australia Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------
