Cygwin/X has switched to X.org a long time ago. The problem is that I can't use the X server from the remote host. I have tried xhost +remoteIP and xhost + on the windows machine running xfree86. Both succeeded, but the remote says the same thing as before - Xlib: connection to 10.0.5.1:0.0 refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified starting X and running xhost as first x client has no usable effect since X resets right after xhost finished and forgets the xhost settings. You have to open at least one local x client (like xterm) an keep that open until you've connected. http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using-remote-apps.html For remote usage I suggest using ssh with X11Forwarding instead of telnet and insecure xhost. This has to do with your SSH client supporting X11 Forwarding. The companies that I do work for quite often use a program called 'Erics Telnet' which works just fine until you try and use it with Cygwin/X then it returns the error displayed above. However as soon as I use Putty...with X11 forwarding set correctly...it works like a gem bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723

using xfree86 4.4.0 from remote host
What is the difference between XFree86 4.4.0 binaries for cygwin and the cygwin X packages? Is there any info on why XFree86 is removed from cygwin? Do the cygwin packages support font server usage? I want to use font packages and font server running on the linux box which lacks the video card. I am currently trying to use XFree86/cygwin 4.4.0.
