Do the CygwinX developers watch this list? I've used a network sniffer to analyze this issue, and based on what I see, the problem seems to mifest itself with Fedora release 7 (Moonshine). I am not having problems with Fedora Core release 6 (Zod). At some point the Cygwin/X server on my PC stops

I have retested this with connections to different Linux systems, and it (my xwin server hang) appears to be isolated to a single Linux. I find there is a difference in Fedora versions on the two systems. Although I'm surprosed that the version of Fedora would cause my local xwin.exe to stop read

Michael, I am assuming you are invoking the ssh connection from a graphical xterm window, it won't work from a console-mode bash prompt. Other than that, it might mean that X forwarding is not enabled on the host you are connecting to. For the record, I just tried the sce

Thanks for the tip. I was able to use the ssh, but that generated errors on the console (below). Before running the ssh command, I started xwin, but perhaps I need to specify some options? Michael (eclipse:29698): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (eclipse:29698): GLib-G

Michel, One alternative you could try is ssh-ing to the host you want to run the programs on and invoking the programs directly and comparing the graphics-update performance. In essence this means issuing the following command: ssh -Y [EMAIL PROTECTED] program The 'Y' parameter

I got a little help from my network admin. We started watching the traffic between my Windows desktop (XWin server) and the Linux box (client). What we see is interesting. When I start XWIN and then launch Eclipse, response is perfect. If I move the mouse, my system sends a message to the Linux

Have been watching this for a few days now and here is what we see. When I start an XWin session, response is excellent for about 1 minute. If I happen to close the XWin server in my cygwin desktop while the response is really good, I get a warning dialog that there are 4 clients connected. Repe

Thanks -swcursor has eliminated the console messages, and it manages to highlight the extremely slow response. It is taking several seconds for the mouse pointer to move when I move the physical mouse. In fact, I now realize that keyboard is non responsive as well. I'm not seeing any cpu utiliz

I have a similar problem, but it is not limited to a specific account. In fact, it is fairly random. Sometimes I get pretty good performance, and then it just dies. In my case, it seems to get pretty bad when I launch Eclipse, but I have to admit that Eclipse is the only GUI app that I use, so i
