On the debian box, does the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config contain a line that says: X11Forwarding yes and does the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf contain Enable=true Additionally you cannot login as root if /etc/gdm/gdm.conf contains the default line of AllowRoot=false Before changing any of the default settings it is a good idea to read about X security and understand the implications of what you are changing.

Re: 30+ reasons why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X
I know nothing about X other than it is a good tool for some of the things that I do. I do not know if the following is of interest or not. When the codebase was changed from Xfree86 to Xorg, the Mac-on-Linux video driver for Cygwin/X no longer worked. I have been using X-Deep/32 for X usage when I need to access my Mac since. I am not complaining, I love Cygwin and X other than this one nit. I just didn't know if mentioning this might help. Thanks for everything. Ken Joseph Miller wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I recently received a list entitled "30+ Reasons Why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X". I don't know enough at the moment (though I am learning) about the Cygwin/X server to be able to understand some of the reasons. I have already created XWinLogon (http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/) and I am working to work on the Cygwin/X server so that all 30+ reasons will go away. Can someone please explain the following: 3-D Hardware Acceleration for OpenGL - I am told that Cygwin/X supports this, but I use XWin_GL.exe. What do they mean by this? GDI Acceleration of X Graphics Primitives - I'm assuming this is a direct translation of X drawing routines to Windows drawing routines? Like writing directly to the hDC? Compensation for Cable Modem NATs (IPsmar) - I will probably look this one up myself. Last Session Terminate Support - how might this be implemented? Perhaps I could check all top-level window titles for Cygwin? Any recommendations? Anyone know how support for multiple users (Terminal Services) might be implemented? I am just sending these questions out there so that everyone can see what I will be working on that I don't already know. I understand that some of these are pretty easy to find out about, but if I could be pointed in the right direction, that would be great. I expect that all of the GUI/multiuser stuff can be added within a couple months or so. I will also be working on remote sound support and enterprise level scalability. For anyone who wants to see the full list of reasons, I have attached it in this email. I converted it from an XLS to text, so it looks kinda funny.

One is that I could be running Zone Alarm 5--I'm not, but I am running McAfee Personal Firewall Plus. Disabling this doesn't fix the problem. The other is that /tmp is mounted in textmode. If I use mount -b "$(cygpath -m /tmp)" /tmp before running startx I still get the same problem. I have also tried running without the -multiwindow option. If I do this, I get a large window frame on my screen with "Cygwin/X Server - 0:0" in the title bar, but there is nothing in the frame (I can see my regular desktop through it) and it hangs. Any ideas? Thanks for your help, Barron Bichon Barron, I have XP Home SP2 as well, and do not have this issue. I recall from previous discussions about ZA that disabling is not the same as removing or uninstalling. Have you tried complete removing your firewall? Ken

Re: installing a window manager - help please - answers to helpers questions

This xterm is also copied as an embedded xterm in the background, and I can type commands in either and they are reflected in the other. If I shut one then the other shuts. I can't right click on the background and create another xterm. Thanks again, and any other suggestions are very welcome, Ian I'm a little confused by the copying of xterms and the reflection of commands between xterms. what happens when you try "xterm &" in a x-term window?
Re: using cygnome with x11
I'd first check that your .xinitrc is executable. Failing that: http://www.cygwin.com/problems.html dc wrote: Simple Question: How do I get a "gnome-session" to always start when I "startx". I have set my path to include the x11/bin. I have made an "~/.xinitrc" file containing "exec gnome-session" line. When I launch a cygwin terminal, and type: "startx" all I get is the default window manager [I think]. Strangely, I was able to launch a gnome session in this way, but only once! After I quit X11 i was never able to see a gnome session start with x11. Help would be appreciated. If you need more specs, please specify. Cheers, Dave
Re: installing a window manager - help please
It's probably best to address things one at a time. Immediately after you do the install (i.e. before you make changes), what happens when you double-click startxwin.bat? [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm feeling pretty frustrated and stupid at the moment, because after 3 days of installing/reinstalling cygwin, trying to install various window managers like fvwm, and trying the various configurations and start methods of same, I can't get so much as a basic window manager started with the ability to open a new xterm. Some configurations give me the seemingly infamous "can't open display:localhost:0.0" (I've tried 127.0.0.1 also), whilst some will complain that there's another window manager running (I can't find anything in the task manager that would be another wm). I'm going a bit crazy here as there doesn't seem to be any step-by-step setup instructions (for cygwin AND a window manager) anywhere on the net that I can find. If this is wrong, please correct me. I've obviously read things like (http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-window-managers.html) which give the basic theory, i.e. you can't run more than one wm etc, but there doesn't seem to be anything explaining how to get a basic setup working BEFORE doing anything fancy with configurations. Alternatively, if there's somewhere that someone has a complete install zipped up that I could potentially grab and just run it, that'd be great. I realise this is all open-source software and I'm not moaning about anything other than my own lack of ability to get this working. Any help is appreciated. cheers, Ian

Re: XWin on Windows 98 unreliable
These are some of the things I have heard people complain about: the entry 127.0.0.1 localhost is not in /etc/hosts file Are you configured to use a proxy server? (AOL ?) Do you have multiple network interfaces enabled? Do you have a network drive mapped to your computer? Are you using Trumpet Winsock? If you are using any personal firewall, disabling it is not sufficient, it must be removed, as it modifies the IP stack. Hope one of these works. Ken Christopher G D Tipper wrote: Dear List, I am somewhat exhausted by this issue, but I feel it ought to come to the attention of the development team. Basically I wanted to run TCM on my Windows 98 console and found myself spending many happy hours downloading over 100MB of cygwin. I don't think there is anything special about my environment. I like to keep a tight ship, and I don't need ZoneAlarm or any special firewall on a dial-up connection. Norton is disabled and I just scan files religiously when the need arises. But I find the X-Server refuses to load unless I have a working dial-up link. It just gets stuck after the following trace (below). On three occasions it has worked, and I've been able to (briefly) use TCM. Even so I only get a <50% success rate.
