RE: XWindows version of Java?
Remote X-Windows from Cygwin apps has worked fine for me including Emacs. I haven't tried it with javaw, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't. --- Kevin Benton Perl/Bugzilla Developer/Administrator, Perforce SCM Administrator AMD - ECSD Software Validation and Tools The opinions stated in this communication do not necessarily reflect the view of Advanced Micro Devices and have not been reviewed by management.

I assume (I have not tried it yet) I can run the cygwin version of emacs on my home windows machine from a remote machine with the xhost and ssh - X commands. Is this correct? Should be. I haven't tried it either. Give it a shot if you're interested. Sun's javaw runs native windows, not xwindows. Is there a way I can run GUI java programs on windows using xwindows so they are compatible with xhost and ssh -X? Not without a java built to use Cygwin-X, no. I've been reading about gcj and that might work but it looks like I'd have to recompile everything myself. I want to run eclipse on windows from a remote machine and I see in fedora core 4 they have recompiled eclipse with gcj. But I was hoping I would not have to recompile eclipse from the source. Does cygwin have a javax program that runs GUI java programs under xwindows?

X root window resize problem
I don't know if anyone has reported this yet, however, I noticed that when I start X at 1280x768, then switch to my off-laptop monitor that's set to 1280x1024, X doesn't seem to want to display xterm terminal output outside the 1024x768 range. I know that if I restart X at this larger window size, everything works fine, but it's really annoying to have to do this. I'm running Cygwin-X dated 2004/03/25, though I know I downloaded it about 5 months ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this so I don't have to restart X every time I increase my display resolution from initial startup? --- Kevin Benton Perl/Bugzilla Developer/Administrator, Perforce SCM Administrator AMD - ECSD Software Validation and Tools The opinions stated in this communication do not necessarily reflect the view of Advanced Micro Devices and have not been reviewed by management.

RE: Newbie help
Hey guys, Total newbie here in relation to not only cygwin cygwin/X but also to UNIX... I'm a total windows slave. Anyway I've been given the delightful task of trying to configure cygwin and cygwin/X server for use on our systems. But I've run into a wall. Well actually quite a few really but I'll get to the point of the first one... How do I enable cygwin/X server as a service on Windows 2k XP? I've read the help files and FAQ but although it said to use the cygserver-config script I'm at a lost as to how to do that. All I need for the moment is the ability to start the server first. The rest I'll ask about later (if people are kind) You may want to be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do. As others have said, if you want to run X-based applications in Windows, you need to use startxwin to start X. I've created an entry in my Startup folder that runs X for me. From there, I can run X-based applications. X runs in user space rather than as a server application. The way typical X-windows users see things is that program that runs under startxwin is the client application, not the server. Server applications for X-Windows are running programs (like xterm, emacs, etc.). This may seem like a role reversal, but there's a reason for that - the program producing the information is the server and the program displaying it is the client. So, if I want to display an xterm on my.host.com, I can do that by telling xterm -display my.host.com:0. That will cause xterm to serve itself to the X client on my.host.com instance 0. If the client allows the server to display information, the window will appear. If not, the server will get a rejection notice. If the client rejects, the user can tell the client to accept connections by using xhost +my.other.host.com. For more information, see... man xterm man xhost I hope this helps. -- 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/

I got my server and client relationships backwards.
