I have the latest stable versions of cygwin and cygwin/X. I usually update them every month or so. After I automatically updated it last time to the latest cygwin release, I started to have problems with my X-configuration. I have the following in my ~/.xinitrc file:
xhost + 192.168.0.18 ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "setenv DISPLAY 192.168.0.1:0; startkde"
Before the bug, I was able to run xinit, switch to console again, type the password and switch to the display again. Now, when I am trying to type the password, I can see all the characters that I am typing, and after pressing <enter>, I am given the second prompt for the password with the same problems. And so on. Therefore, I cannot use XFree86 anymore, because I am unable to authorise. :-(
P.S. Please, do not judge my poor configuration from the security standpoint, as I am on my own network and I do not have any external IP-addresses on my internal network.
Cheers, Constantine.
