Please launch X server from start menu - it's under "Cygwin/X => XWin Server" entry. There's absolutely no need for a window manager. Please don't run any. AFAIU by default X server uses Windows API to manage windows. > Anyway, the starting procedure is too complicated, nobody will bother to > start FriCAS this way.

It didn't take me more than 3 steps to run FriCAS on a Windows machine without Cygwin installed. Don't panic - just make sure you run X server in multi-window mode. -- Kind regards Krystian Bacławski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
