Issue with the installation of Cygwin/X
Hi, I am running into an issue when trying to install Cygwin/X. I am installing from http://x.cygwin.com/ When the setup.exe is run, after it shows the screen where we choose a site from a list, no matter what download site I choose, it throws this little pop-up, saying Warning: The current ini file is from a newer version of setup.exe. If you have any trouble installing, please download a fresh version from http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe; Please help me.

You need to download the latest setup.exe from http://cygwin.com/setup.exe. If you've done that already then try clearing your browser cache and proxy cache, if any. cgf -- 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/
startxwin.exe without lingering DOS window
How do you run startxwin.exe so that it doesn't leave a lingering MS-DOS window after it starts the programs in ~/.startwinrc? Are there plans to update http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html so people like me don't waste a few hours finding out that startxwin.bat has been replaced by startxwin.exe and that it is documented in its man page?

What is replacement for the -kb Xwin startup parameter
I a using Xwin to connect to an AIX system using XDMCP. This was working fine on an old version of Xwin, As long as I used the -kb command line argument (there was an old post in the FAQ, suggesting that parameter As the workaround for AIX not handling keyboard extensions). I just downloaded 1.7.3.0 on another Win-XP system, and discovered That -kb is no longer supported. Without that argument, I am able To successfully connect using XDMCP, but after opening my 2nd Xterm, the window freezes up... neither mouse or keyboard Seems to function with it (which was the same symptom I had on The old version prior to adding the -kb startup parm. Suggestions are welcome. -tony -- 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/
