Re: startx problem on Win-XP

[Charles E. Cooper]

I've also been struggling to get a useable windows system.
I use cygwin to log into Sun systems.
I tried the startxwin.bat method and get a window up, but it won't let me 
redirect remote windows back to my Windows platform.

        I then ssh into the sun machine
        setenv DISPLAY machinename:0.0
        textedit filename
as I can do when I use "startx"

I basically don't like the "twm" window manager, but haven't figure out how 
to start something better.

Hello !
I have installed the newest cygwin-version
on my Win-XP box.
But i can't start the X-System.
It doesn't make any different how i try to start it.
I tried the following way...
         startx 2>/tmp/mistlog
Use startxwin.bat instead:
