Xdmx and the Cygwin X server
I saw a thread on this list discussing Xdmx in June of 2005 but there was no conclusion and it did not exactly apply to my circumstance. I've been trying to get use an Xdmx server running on a Redhat box connected to a Cygwin X server on a laptop as a client. It starts up and I see the root window, but the functionality is not there. For example, if I drag a window off of the redhat box and onto the Cygwin box I can see the dotted outline of the window appear but the content wont display. Has anyone been using Xdmx and Cygwin together successfully and could you advise me on configuration issues? Also if you know of any reason why this is not going to work please let me know. ___ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.

Re: glut (for X) cannot be compiled without -mno-cygwin

Any idea? g++ -g -O2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib main.cpp -lglut You need to specify the -L/usr/X11R6/lib also, since that's where the X11 glut library is found.

Re: failure notice
I've been trying to get use an Xdmx server running on a Redhat box connected to a Cygwin X server on a laptop as a client. It starts up and I see the root window, but the functionality is not there. For example, if I drag a window off of the redhat box and onto the Cygwin box I can see the dotted outline of the window appear but the content wont display. So... you are using an Xdmx server with two backends, one of which is on a Linux box, the other of which is on a Windows box? That really sounds like you are running without Xinerama support? Without Xinerama you can't move windows between screens. Try this DISPLAY=DMXHOST:DMXNUM.0 xev DISPLAY=DMXHOST:DMXNUM.1 xev . If you don't have Xinerama support you will get a xev window on each screen, but you won't be able to move them between screens. Did you try starting Xdmx with the +xinerama option on the command line? This will enable Xinerama and allow you to move windows from one screen to the other. If +xinerama doesn't work, please post the complete command you are using to launch Xdmx. Has anyone been using Xdmx and Cygwin together successfully and could you advise me on configuration issues? Also if you know of any reason why this is not going to work please let me know. It should work, but it will be a bit harder to configure than identical Linux boxes.
