Trouble getting a windowed X
Greetings: 1. I have tried to read everything I can on this subject, and I have not had much luck after 2 days of messing around with this. Here is what works: Open rxvt issue the command X Cygwin/x starts up how I want it. On just one of my monitors, with max/min buttons and a title bar. I open another window...and issue xterm -e ssh -Y -l username host and finally startkde. Works like a champ. I have an Xserver up and running with Min and Max buttons, and KDE. Perfect, except there is a terminal hanging around that I don't need on my desktop. So I tried the following: run X. The server starts but the windowed screen doesn't show up. *** Here is the bottomline question. How can I get an Xserver running when I issue the command X and to have it detach from rxvt. *** I've tried to use XWin.exe with a number of options, but I have yet to duplicate what simply X does with no arguments. I am running Windows XP SP2 with 3 Monitors. I only want one monitor in use for XWindows. Thanks HFC Henry F. Camacho Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can try the nodecoration mode instead. You will not get the window borders but you get no console and the window is shown *g* bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

You might even be able to make a shortcut that does a bash -c setsid X to avoid running rxvt. cgf
Re: Trouble getting a windowed X
Thanksthat was it. Stuck in the Windows world I didn't even think of . It worked perfectly.

Yet another clipboard problem with SSH
I'm using SSH to remotely login in to a Sun workstation to do university work, and I can't copy and paste either way. Everything else I want to do works fine, I can run programs and save files and send emails, it's just the clipboard that doesn't work. I've been trawling through the mailing list archives for quite a while now, and although there are many other clipboard problems explained, I couldn't find anything exactly the same as the problem I'm having. I'm running Windows XP.

Re: SocketCreateListner() failed
Thank you, Sir! After some hit and trial, I could start an X-server on my laptop. Two problems, ... first I had accidently blocked access to xconsole and secondly XWin did not have access. I changed both these to full access. Now, /cygwin/usr/X../bin/startxwin.bat works :) On a desktop Windows2000 machine, I would start cygwin bash shell and then type startx to start the X-server ... that still does not work on my laptop, but it doesnt matter since starting X-server directly is a better option anyway. Also, I gather Cygwin/X controls the windows thru TCP sockets. Ah well, learn something new ... Thanks again Sandeep Alexander Gottwald wrote: On Tue, 23 Nov 2004, Sandeep Prerna Gupta wrote: Hello, I have not explicitly installed any firewall, This is a brand new Dell Laptop, they may have installed something by default, I will check into that -- BTW, Cygwin bash shell comes up OK, (just that without X, I cant use many of my utils) are there commands or small executables that I could run in bash to get more insight into this? I mean say sufficient code that invokes SocketCreateListner(), which I could compile debugable with gnu C++ and step thru in gdb. (For example, gdb works in bash, ddd doesnt without X). That could help a lot if feasible. Is it XP SP2? If Cygwin/X is started on XP SP2 windows asks if it should allow access to the network. If it does not for you then the builtin firewall will most likely deny the access. You should allow XWin to access port 6000 in the security preferences screen. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
