I don't know what you mean by "Linux->Win32" but Windows is not Linux and neither is Cygwin.
I'm having trouble feeling motivated to continue reading your posts after such condescension. In context, it obviously meant this: a Linux workstation -> an X client -> TCP/IP -> Ethernet -> a Win32 workstation -> TCP/IP -> XWin.exe -> X-Windows server -> display hardware. Do I have to, like, deconstruct each stack for you? (Incidentally, the FAQ entry you indicated had trouble displaying correctly in Internet Explorer. And the page is too long. In my experience, IE gets # markers correct in long pages, compared to other browsers, so don't blame IE...) I suspect you mean this entry: "7.7. Cygwin/X has very poor performance. What's the reason? "Most likely you have installed some kind of personal firewall..." Well, besides I already told you that other network activity was fast, I have both Mandriva's and MS's built-in firewalls, and they are correctly tuned. When I turn them off, and the virus scanner, the problem remains. You will not need to read my posts here anymore if you would reveal the names of the config files, and their setting lines, that tune the display hardware for XWin.exe. Then I would not need to Google for the word "slow", which is too broad a search. -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand <-- NOT a blog!! -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
