Hi! I am not sure I am doing this right, I hope this is the right forum now... Forgive me if it's not! Also, top posting or not? What's "on" here? Personally I hate "bottom posting"...Sorry folks! I choose not to include the previous post here. Is that OK?
- I knew I would get a "the DISPLAY parameter isn't right and you need to specify the problem"-reply... I've been around in other forums, so I know the drill... :-p 1. Yes, I have read about the DISPLAY parameter. Unfortunately I looked everywhere for one. Where is it and how do I set it to 0, or any other value that might be correct? 2. The problem is that Cygwin can't find the X-server. I don't get any error messages. Starting Cygwin with or without a x-server (not Cygwin/X) running results in just the same thing. Running Cygwin/X works fine, apart from an 100% CPU usage, as described in in the FAQ. Running Cygwin/X *and* another x-server, such as Exceed, causes problems, such as dissaparing cursors and the like. I'm sorry, I can't describe it better than that. 3. Of course, since that the problem is caused by a firewall (as described in the FAQ) I could disable that. But, as I am sitting on an unprotected university network, it takes about 30 seconds for my XP machine to be hacked. Do not think I have not tried that one already. And it's not funny! If this isn't a common problem with a simple solution, I don't think I'll manage to fix it. I don't know enough about the stuff to write my own config files and things. Thank you, again, for any help I can get. Erik Abrahamsson ____________________________________________________________ För alla singlar - singelkryssen lättar ankar igen den 23 oktober.
