If you are *really* using X7, then your problem is probably that colour wasn't supported until X9, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System#Release_history However, I suspect you mean X version 11 release 7 :-) Jared Silva wrote: In Cygwin X11R6 and Exceed 10, the additional colors

May I say in its defence (after a bit more experimenting) that when comparing Cygwin-X/gtk-x11 against gtk-win32, X's text handling is noticeably superior at high resolutions (at least, on my system). With my monitor set to 1600x1200, Cygwin-X's text is still crisp and clear - whereas

I have been running Cygwin with X on Windows 7 Beta for a few weeks. It works. I think it works rather well considering what it does. I had to do the rebase/reinstall libncurses thing, but then most things work with only a few problems. First, the startxwin icon succeeds in bringing up the the
