Platform is Windows 7 64 bit, using cygwin/x 1.11.1-1 and started with: /usr/bin/X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -auth /home/user/.Xauthority -auth /home/user/.serverauth.780
Once this starts up, the user is able to start mintty, xterm, etc, can start ssh -Y otherserver and have x applications there display back, etc. However, we have not yet figured out how to set up PuTTY 0.60 (32 bit version) so that it works . I have tried setting Connection > SSH > X11 to enable X11 forwarding and MIT-Magic-Cookie-1. I start a window and it opens. I get this error message: Xlib: connection to "localhost:12.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified /usr/openwin/bin/xset: unable to open display "localhost:12.0" No x apps start there. Since PuTTY is started from a start menu normally, it's my guesstimate that the putty session doesn't have the x authentication cookie. However, there doesn't seem to me to be a simple way to set that up. Trying to get an xauth cookie and import it into a different window is non-trivial, even for an expert. Surely there is some way to configure things so that this combination works. I've been performing web searches looking for information, so far to no avail. Has anyone a reference, white paper, sample code, etc. to demonstrate how to set this up? Thank you very much. -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. http://wiki.tcl.tk/ Larry W.
