Hi , I'm trying to use Sun's Sun Studio 11 over a remote connection. Namely, I run Cygwin on a Win200 machine and invoke the X term on a remote (base-dev-1) box like this - :
$ xwin -clipboard -query base-dev-1 Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.2.0-4 to access a Solaris 9 (native Sparc) box and run the IDE. The command above starts a GNOME2 window and lets me run any of the programs available on the remote machine including Sun Studio. The problem I have is that only printable characters are mapped through to the Sun Studio in this way. Other applications, including the terminal (xterm) I use to start the studio do the mapping just fine (including special chars like backspace). I did try changing the terminal type to vt100 but to no avail. I have, also, had some correspondence with Sun Studio developers regarding this and they suggested using other remote servers to run the IDE and indeed when using Exceed , for example, all the characters mapping works OK. Does anybody know of any settings I may be able to change for Cygwin/X to try and have those non-printable chars map through to the Sun Studio.
