Not able to Get a Remote Machine after export of display
Hi All, This is regarding a problem faced while using Cygwin. I am not able to open Xterm from a remote machine after setting the remote DISPLAY variable to the local one. Following are the entries in my startxdmcp.bat: SET DISPLAY=223.221.113.105:0.0 (Local display) SET REMOTE_HOST=ipshp071 start XWin -kb -query %REMOTE_HOST% -notrayicon -emulate3buttons -clipboard -unixkill -lesspointer After i logon to this machine, I telnet to a remote machine. set the DISPLAY variable there to 223.221.113.105:0.0. open a xterm using Xterm&. It says "Per display information not found". Is there any problem with the above entries? Could anyone please suggest a solution to this problem. Thanks, Krishna Bhushan __ Do you Yahoo!?

But, regardless, I asked for feedback and the first two responses were "don't do it" so I've removed this. cgf

I thought I'd get that response but it sort of misses the point, IMO. This doesn't stop people cold. It just prevents their first attempt sending email to the mailing list from being a clueless one. This is exactly what the suggestions at http://cygwin.com/problems.html were intended to stop. cgf

No, I wasn't serious about ejecting subscribers, or even individual postings. Just making my little point. -- To reply by email, replace "deadspam.com" by "alumni.utexas.net"

I do reject some subjects like that in the main cygwin list but I hadn't done so here. I have now, though. However, if people think that's too harsh, I'll remove that restriction. I always wonder if people who post subjects like that also go into the bank, hand their checks to the teller and say "Bank!". Or if they go to the auto shop to get their car fixed and open the discussion by pointing and saying "Car!" cgf

A subject of "cygwin" or "cygwin problem" on a post to any cygwin-related mailing list should result in instant ejection from the list. -- To reply by email, replace "deadspam.com" by "alumni.utexas.net"
Re: Problems with ssh and X
Hi Christian, If I recall my past life properly, -Y (X11ForwardingTrusted) does not enable -X (X11Forwarding)... Try this instead: ssh -X -Y -l username remotemachine Also, when you get bored of using command-line options, read 'man ssh_config' G'day, JST On Thu, Dec 16, 2004 at 09:49:49AM +, Dr Christian Hicks wrote: > First, please accept my apologies for send my message > to the wrong list.

default font size
Hello, the default font size within the xterm, that comes up on the default installation of Cygwin is tiny. I would generally prefer a larger size. How do I increase the font size? (there is no XF86Config file any more). - Josef

When doing X11Forwarding the DISPLAY variable should point to localhost:10.0 (or higher numbers) or is unset if X11Forwarding does not work. In your case it is set to remotehost:0.0 which is wrong. Find the place where the DISPLAY variable is set and prevent it. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

First, please accept my apologies for send my message to the wrong list. Thanks to Igor for suggesting the FAQ list. I have now tried: ssh -Y -l username remotemachine I now get the error message: connect 212.159.18.214 port 6000 Connection refused. (the IP address is the static IP address provided by my ISP) There is still nothing in the log of my Netgear NG834G firewall or the ZoneAlarm log. I shutdown Zone alarm and the same thing happened. Any thoughts or suggestions would be gratefully received. Many thanks, Chris.
