Re: Mouse/keyboard emulation
in the Xterm I opened an ssh session by typing ssh -l username remote server name and then entered the password when prompted You mentioned ssh, you probably need to see A1 in the following FAQ entry: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding Harold
