The 32 bit version of the Xterm short icon with the target defined as C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c '/usr/bin/xterm -sl 1000 - geometry 120x40 -fn -adobe-courier-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* -sb -rightbar -fg black -bg white -display 127.0.0.1:0.0' is still working, but only open to the 32-bit Cygwin environment. Any idea on solving this problem? Thanks for any suggestion. Jyhshyong I would start by removing arguments and trying to determine which are causing the problem. Note that (I believe) what shows up in the system try is not the XTerm, but the XServer (XWin). While the XServer is running, you can run a client, like XTerm and it will display on the XServer display. Here is the shortcut I'm using to launch an XTerm under 64-bit cygwin: C:\Apps\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin xterm +tb -sb -sl 5000 -display 127.0.0.1:0.0 -ls This is working fine for me. You can also check the /var/log/xwin/XWinwhatever.log file to see if there are any errors being written there when you try to launch the XTerm. Good luck. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
