Re: Windows Vista
I still haven't been able to get Cygwin/X working under Vista yet. I was able to use XLaunch and fire off X applications from the cygwin shell. http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ Be sure to set up $DISPLAY in your .bashrc: export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 I'd love to know if there's a better way, though.

Windows Vista
I have tried to install Cygwin/X under Windows Vista, and get fatal errors when trying to run Cygwin/X. Has anyone been successful and, if so, is there documentation on how to get Cygwin running under Vista? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Can anyone help with a multiple monitor system?
I have a dual-head (twin monitor) setup using a Matrox Millenium G400 graphics card. I've been using this successfully for many years under both Windows and Linux (64Studio). Using GTK, I've built a myself a small "Hello World" type app. It's just a simple GTK dialog box with a label saying "Hello World" and a 'Close' button. If I build it under GNU GCC and run it under Linux it runs fine. However, if I re-boot into Windows and build it under Cygwin, it only displays properly on my left-hand monitor. If I drag the dialog box to my right-hand monitor, the dialog gets displayed - but not its contents. I'm starting my X server by running startxwin.bat which can be found in c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin. I've already taken a look within startxwin.bat and I noticed that it offers various command-line switches to Xwin. One of these is '-multiplemonitors' which I thought might help. I modified startxwin.bat to add this as an extra parameter when starting Xwin but it didn't make any difference. Can anyone suggest anything else I could try?
