Re: Help Needed For Multiple Monitors
Hi Surnder, Make sure that both monitors have the same color depth. A couple of years ago you even needed to have the same resolution on the monitors but that was fixed. Check you color depth.

Re: unable to open display 6 times when I try to run any X apps from xterm
May bee a longshot, A couple of months ago I had the same problem and it turned out to be a DLL problem caused by Logitec web-cam drivers. If you have those installed try uninstalling them and see if this solves the issue. Talked to logitec about it and they responded that Injecting their DLL into the screen routing of windows was a good idea... and why the h*ll I would want to use linux on windows... Good luck.

I'm a little confused about the response since the output I showed was from an xterm started using startxwin.bat which launches X before starting xterm which is an X app? I have been using this configuration for over 2 years on this box and it suddenly stopped working. Sounds like this is the key. What's new to the system since it stopped working. You mentioned initially that you have DISPLAY set in your startxwin.bat. Don't recall off-hand whether that's in there by default (and I'm not at a machine that has Cygwin-X installed). If you added this, I suggest removing it. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

50% of xterms do not appear on screen.
Hi, To start off with I have been using Cygwin for years and I must aplaude all of the dev team for the great work they do. Unfortunatly I have hit a snag which I really puzzeling me. I normally start an Xwin.exe server at startup. This works fine and the process runs. The I start xterm.exe processes using the attached script. Now about half the xterm that I start do not seem to hook into the Xwin server the other half hook fine and show me an xterm screen. It's just completely random and I cannot figure for the life of me what is stopping these hooks. Here is the output of Xwin.exe: _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created.

If I look at the taskmgr then I have about 40 xterms of which only 20 or so are on the screen. If I kill the X server then it only tells me that 20 clients are connected.
