Huh? What XFree86 4.4.0 version? Cygwin/X has switched to X.org a long time ago. > > The problem is that I can't use the X server from the remote host.

You have to open at least one local x client (like xterm) an keep that open until you've connected. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html For remote usage I suggest using ssh with X11Forwarding instead of telnet and insecure xhost. > This has to do with your SSH client supporting X11 Forwarding.
