Re: X server causing IE lockups
But I have put this on the back-back burner for now. My work-around is to only use X for when I need gnuplot and then I exit from X. I have just disabled the clipboard transfer for TightVNC and it seems I have no more issue. F.

Re: X server causing IE lockups
The common thing seems to be vncclient. I guess I'll check on the vncclient list and see if there are any clues. Are we on our own? I will try to start vncclient after I start X and see if that matters. Have you tried sorting this out at all? Gentlemen start your finger pointing! It's vncclient! No, it's Xfree! No it's winxp! Yay! Not our problem! I found another person that has the same problem (2 years ago): http://lightbody.net/blog/2006/02/cygwinx_and_vnc_clipboard_conf.html He has only conflicts with clipboard. I have clipboard conflicts and network issues. F.

X server causing IE lockups
Recently started using the Xserver and have issues now with IE. IE will become unresponsive. When I kill the xserver IE becomes responsive again. I also have issues with any vncclient sessions I'm running. The cut-n-paste buffers stop working in vnc. Vnc doesn't require the xserver. It's not a showstopper because I can kill the xserver and get expected behavior back. Is this a known issue/limitation? This is on winxp. -- 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/
