Hello. I am trying to get cygwin and TaoLinux to work on zVM 4.3.0 I can putty to TaoLinux with no problem and cygwin seems to start but I am not able to enter a userid or password at the signon panel. I get the X-window screen with the black hash background and the window with the userid and password and the X. I however, cannot enter (type) any information on the screen. The cursor does not move; it acts as if it is ignoring the keyboard. The X (mouse pointer) can be moved around. Following is the XWin.log in it intirety:

On linux, I start xdm as follows: xdm -debug 1 Everything appears ok and it appears xdm is ready to go to work, but nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Steve G. Lafayette Life Ins.
