OK. BTW, does this mean that this won't work if either is on DHCP? (Fortunately, for my specific case both have static IP.) OK, so all I need on the client ... err, server ... err, cygwin side is just to edit /usr/X11R6/bin/startxdmcp.bat: done. Then I gotta setup <G|K|X>DM on the ... non-cygwin side: > Also make sure /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf contains > [xdmcp] > Enable=true except the box I'm targeting currently only has KDE, so it's /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config, and I just need to comment out !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 Correct?
