Re: Can't use mintty instead of rxvt for ssh -Y using cygwin xserver

Note that changing the shell from zsh to bash doesn't help at all. Any advice appreciated. The appropriate log files are attached. According to your cygcheck output, you don't have a DISPLAY environment variable set. Does performing an export DISPLAY=:0 before using ssh help? 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/
