xWin/Startx Messages re-direction
Hi Everyone, I use xwin with Cygwin and everytime I run the messages are printed on the cygwin screen. Is there a way I can stop it or (redirect it to /dev/null). The real problem happens when I am working on the cygwin window and I get interrupted with these messages. I run xwin with this line: XWin -multiwindow -silent-dup-error -nowinkill -unixkill Any help is kindly appreciated. Thanking You, Yours Sincerely, Balaji V. Iyer. PS.

Multiple Monitors on XP IBM T60
Hi, I'm using XP on an IBM T60 dual core laptop with an ATI Catalyst graphics accelerator. I am also using an external monitor. I have my laptop LCD screen set up as display 1, and the external monitor setup as display 2 using XP's built in multiple monitor support. I am experiencing the same problem described in a very similar thread by Ian MacKinnon in September of 2003. X windows render correctly on the external monitor but not on the primary monitory. They appear blank on the laptop screen and are ok when dragged onto the external monitor. The solution to Ian's trouble was to use the -multiplemonitor option on starting xwin. Unfortunately, this doesn't work for me. Any suggestions?
