Re: Multiwindow color problems
Paul, Multiwindow mode uses Shadow GDI engine. If you have same problem with "-engine 1" option, that originates in shadow GDI engine. Kensuke Matsuzaki

I use setenv DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0 and then I get sort of the same "Can't open display" message but not immediately as before, but there's a good 20 sec delay in between. > # xauth generate :0 . > (Don't forget the period at the end.) For more info, see man xauth. ok, now %xauth generate :0 . xauth: creating new authority file /home/csaba/.Xauthority xauth: (argv):1: unable to open display ":0". And the .Xauthority file was not created either. i believe the whole xfree does not work correctly on my syste, which is just weird cuz I installed the whole cygwin package which should take care of it.
Re: xfree
Csaba, please don't reply to me directly. This is so experts may help in answering your question, as well as to save the Q&A for posterity so that all readers may benefit. I work in tcsh. I believe export in bash would be the SETENV in tcsh? Yes (but setenv in lower case). I tried it and it gave different behaviour, but the end result still was "can't open display". What was the exact behavior? Please paste your exact commands and output, that will help in diagnosing the problem. Also, when I ssh-ed to my office linux puter, it gave a warning that I used fake authentification for X11 forwarding (I guess it did not like the 127.0.0.1 ?). Your local machine has to be set up for xauth. Do # xauth generate :0 . (Don't forget the period at the end.) For more info, see man xauth. -JT _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Clipboard functionality under xdmcp
Hello, I'm using cygwin/xfree86 quite successfully under the xdmcp, displaying hp-cde desktops in the server window, and thereby running hp-unix apps remotely. However, when I copy and paste text in the cde, it doesn't show up on the windows clipboard, even though I started xwin with the -clipboard option. My startup line in bash looks like this: xwin :3 -clipboard -query alsux227 -fp tcp/buddha26:7000 & This starts an xdmcp session with alsux227, using the font server on buddha26. Should the clipboard option work under these circumstances? Thanks, James R. Phillips
