Surely if that was the case I would be unable to connect to Solaris 2.6 boxes, which I can. The keyboard mapping problem is one I've always had with Cygwin as the keyboard I use is for UK and Ireland. That has never stopped me connecting to a box. The only thing that has ever caused the same problem for me before was if a Solaris box was called without specifying a font server. I've checked that the font server is running on the Solaris 8 boxes but still now luck. Is it possible that the Font server for Solaris 8 has changed slightly and is no longer compatible with Cygwin?
I don't think so. I've used cygwin/X to connect to Solaris 8 too and had no problems. If it is even crashing then there must be a bigger problem.
Have you started XWin with special parameters (eg -multiwindow, -clipboard)?
@Harold: Do you have a debug build ready. I'd like Martin to try it in gdb to get a backtrace where the server crashed.
No, I do not have a debug build ready. I could perhaps make one, but it will take a bit.
