I'm using windows 2000 to connect to a Debian Sarge server.
Using Cygwin, I'm typing xwin -query myip to connect to my Debian
server. Theres only a grey screen that appears with an 'x' cursor. I
also tried xwin -query hostip -from clientip without success.
The .log says: Could not init font path element
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID, removing from list.
Looking at the FAQ, they say to
Open a Cygwin shell and run *umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts*.
When I type this, it just says "theres no such file or directory" even
though it exists.
I reinstalled the font components and it didn't work
I can connect with my server using ssh without problem.
Someone got the same problem on the mailing list at
http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-03/msg00017.html
So I checked the FAQ, the mailing list and even the #cygwin room on MIRC
and can't find a decent answer.
On the debian box, does the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config contain
a line that says:
X11Forwarding yes
and does the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf contain
Enable=true
Additionally you cannot login as root if
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf contains the default line of
AllowRoot=false
Before changing any of the default settings it is a good
idea to read about X security and understand the implications
of what you are changing.

I forgot to say it but I already changed thoses values (Except AllowRoot).
I just tried AllowRoot = true and it still doesn't work.
How can I start Xwin with another login than root? I though the GNOME
login screen would ask me to log in?
