I actually figured out something similar. I launched fbpanel instead with this command: exec /usr/bin/fbpanel -p multiwindow I also discovered that the X server is not always opened on display 0, which I wanted to force, so I did some digging and found I can do that by creating a ~/.xserverrc file to change how it launches the X server. I put this in the file instead: /usr/bin/XWin :0 -multiwindow -nolisten tcp I don’t need external connections as I’m primarily using the X server for local programs or with ssh -Y, so the nolisten switch works fine for me. I also didn’t want xterm to start up at launch, so I had to create an empty ~/.Xclients file. Finally, I had change my startup script so that, if the X server isn't running yet, it would launch startxwin in the background and loop until it sees the fbpanel process in the process list, or time out (after 30 seconds). If it sees the process start, it sets up my configurations as before. It works, albeit not as cleanly as before. I get the extra icon in my taskbar for fbpanel since it’s running, and I see the job number get echoed out to the terminal when it backgrounds the startxwin script. It also takes longer to start since I’m launching fbpanel on top of the server, though I suppose putting the sleep command would alleviate some of that. I’ll look into it. Thanks!

Is there are any to keep the X server running without the extra clutter after these new changes?

try putting "sleep inf" in .startxwinrc

anyone has any suggestions on how I can regain a similar sort of
functionality. I don’t like using xterm in Cygwin and would like to
keep using mintty as my main terminal interface. Before, when I ran
startxwin it would launch the server and quit with an error status as
to whether it was successful or not, leaving Xwin.exe running in the
background. Now it stays in the foreground unless I specify otherwise.
However, my startup script relied on the assumption that Xwin.exe was
running by the time startxwinrc finished, which I cannot guarantee if
I run it as a background task. It also used the exit status where if
it was nonzero, I could assume that I already had X running and it
wouldn’t kill the server if I typed ‘exit’ to exit any subsequent
mintty windows I launched with Alt+F2.
I've tried various configurations and read through the man pages but
haven’t come up with an elegant solution other than the idea of
looping on the ‘ps’ until I see Xwin.exe in the list. Is there a
better way?

Re: Need help
Hi, Shahed, You need to use xhost in the Windows xterm to enable remote clients (in this case, the Solaris box) to connect to the Cygwin X server. You may also need to enable localhost to connect as well. Specifically: xhost + xhost +localhost You could also just do an xhost +, but that opens up your display to everyone, so I don't recommend it. You also need to make sure that X forwarding is enabled on the Windows side. There are a number of different ways to do this, but here's what I do to export the display of a Solaris app to a Windows machine: 1. (Windows) Open a Cygwin bash shell. 2. (Windows) Start the Cygwin X server and an xterm with the startx command. 3. (Windows) Allow connections to the Cygwin X server with the xhost command, as described above. 4. (Windows) Connect to the Solaris machine with ssh -X -l 4. (Solaris) (optional) You shouldn't have to do this because you used -X with ssh, but depending on the Solaris app you're trying to display on your Windows system, you may need to explicitly export the Solaris display; for example, if you're using a C shell: setenv DISPLAY :0.0 5. (Solaris) Launch your app through the ssh connection, and it should display on the Windows machine. Hope this helps, Scott Shahed Hussain wrote: Dear Concern, I need a help to login to a solaris machine using cygwin.

Re: Need help with a glu problem
Thanks for the reply. I actually figured out this too; somewhere in the makefile, cc was used instead of gcc. My newest problem involves a statement about undefined references to routines in glut.h. Everywhere a glut function is called there is an undefined reference error(might it have something to do with the fact that glut.a is in /lib/w32api). I promise to quit posting if this turns out to be another simple mistake on my part.

Re: Need help with a glu problem
I found the solution to this particular problem. I deleted /usr/include and kept /usr/X11R6/include in my makefile. Now if I could only figure out what "make error 255" is.

RE: need help scripting multiple xfree startups
Are you looking on the cygwin machine or on one of the remote machines? It
should be there on the cygwin machine. I believe twm is packaged with the
Xserver, so if you can run X, twm should be there and so should its config
file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm.
Just in case it really is missing, I'll email you my copy (off-list).

There is plenty of information about this in the ssh man page. Here's a
quick recipe:
1) Open a Cygwin bash window and cd into ~/.ssh (if the directory doesn't
exist, create it).
2) Run "ssh-keygen -t rsa1". Accept the default filename of ~/.ssh/identity
and use a blank passphrase. PROTECT THIS FILE! Anyone who gets ahold of it
can use it as if they were you and gain access to systems without a password
or passphrase. Consider yourself warned!
3) FTP the resulting file named identity.pub onto each of the target systems
and put it in /tmp (DO NOT put it in ~/.ssh).
4) On each remote system, append the contents of the identity.pub file to
the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys:
cat /tmp/identity.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
5) At this point, you should be able to ssh to each remote system and get in
without being prompted for a password.

I'd say you've already figured out most of this part. To automatically
launch an xterm and have it run a command on a remote machine, put the
following command in your favorite X startup script (e.g. startxwin.bat,
startxwin.sh, or .xinitrc) in the same section where you see other xterms
being launched (I've put backslashes to indicate that this should all be on
1 line):
ssh -X -l remote_username remote_hostname \
xterm -title "remote_username@remote_hostname" \
-e remote_command
If you're putting this in startxwin.bat, you may need to preceed it with
"run" or "start" (I don't know for sure, I don't use that script). If
you're putting it in startxwin.sh or .xinitrc, append an ampersand ("&") to
the end.
Want it to act on 8 other machines? Repeat the same command 8 more times
with a different value for remote_machine each time.
As for getting the xterm to place itself on your screen without having to
click: If you're using the default Window Manager twm, copy the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc to ~/.twmrc. Then edit ~/.twmrc and add
"RandomPlacement" on a line by itself towards the top of the file just after
the comments. If you're using some other window manager, then consult its
man page.

RE: need help scripting multiple xfree startups
Dennis, I always launch Cygwin/XFree86 from an icon on the desktop that points to the startxwin.bat file in c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin. The batch file starts an xterm and when the xterm pops up I run: ssh -X -C username@hostname I type in my password and that is it. As for avoiding typing in your password, I can say a few things, but I can't hold your hand on this one. You should already know that saving a password on a computer in plaintext represents a huge security risk. With that being said, I am sure that you know that ssh allows you to use keys to verify the identity of a user and to provide authentication (via a password check). You can, I am told, clear the password on an ssh key. Clearing the password on an ssh key is just a dangerous as saving a password to disk in plaintext. However, if you are willing to except the risks of having an ssh key with no password, then I suggest that you search google for ``OpenSSH'' and read the docs on their site about how to change the password on a key, etc. I have never personally done this, so I cannot provide any further details.
