Hi, I am trying to use your Win32 X server. The first step was perfect, I accepted all the default settings, I proceeded as shown in the step-by step tutorial.
I successfully installed it, I have the bash (DOS) box. Even I can make a limited use of it, like " [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls / bin cygdrive cygwin.bat cygwin.ico etc home lib proc tmp usr var " I cannot go much further, however. In page http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure.html#configure-cygwin-x-overview I see Cygwin/X settings are configured primarily through command-line parameters passed to XWin.exe. Cygwin/X comes with a file called startxwin.bat that launches an X Server, a terminal, and a window manager. The only batch file I see is /cygwin.bat In page http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting I see "startxwin.bat startxwin.bat - Use a MS-DOS batch file as the startup script. An example startxwin.bat is included in X-startup-scripts, which is extracted according to the instructions in the Section called Installing Cygwin/X in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. startxwin.sh startxwin.sh - Use an sh shell script as the startup script. An example startxwin.sh is included in X-startup-scripts, which is extracted according to the instructions in the Section called Installing Cygwin/X in Chapter 2. Run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh in a Cygwin shell: " However, there is no such .bat and no such .sh Another method here is startx - Use the standard X Window System startx script with its attendant ~/.xinitrc configuration file. First you need to create ~/.xinitrc from the template in /etc/X11/xinit/: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc However, in my system " [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc $ ls DIR_COLORS defaults networks preremove protocols skel alternatives group passwd profile services termcap bash.bashrc hosts postinstall profile.d setup " i.e. even I do not have /etc/X11 Also, commands like xterm, ssh do not work. What do I wrong or where can I find the right manual? Please cc me, because I am not (yet) a list member.
