I recommend using startxwin.bat. I don't recommend using startx.
With that being said, looks like you are missing the fontconfig and

Great screen shot.
I have the following suggestions:

but maybe standardize on 800 x 600?
2) Can you make a thumbnail while you are at it? Say 200 pixels wide?
3) Run 'uname' or 'uname -a' in the local xterm so

Thanks, that's very interesting. I found that the suggested xset r off
worked well for me, by completely disabling the X autorepeat stuff, since
there's already windows autorepeat. But it's good to get to the bottom of
these subtle race-condition type bugs.

Hallo Harold,
Thanks for the input. Maybe the solution to this minor itch will be enough
incentive for me to start following the evolution of Xwin again: I'm stuck
on a pre-setup version (nov.2002).
You wouldn't happen to have some guidelines floating around about how to
move from a pre-setup

Helmut,
I think you need to point your ``font path'' at the font server running
on the Solaris 8 machine. You can do this with the XWin.exe
command-line parameter ``-fp''. There are examples on the web, and
there is an example in the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ:
Bryan,
There is not currently support in the X server for specifying a Windows
display that a particular screen should be displayed upon initially. It may
not be that hard to add, but no one has scratched that itch yet.
