Very strange, the differences you sent don't show an invalid script
at all. One of the 2 files has \r\n endings (that's the reason for
the first 2 differences) but as long

No you don't have to, if you use ssh to tunnel the X11 connection.

Have you tried starting Cygwin using Vista's Run as Administrator
option? I've found that Cygwin and Vista don't get along at all
unless you run the bash shell explicitly as Administrator.
Also, your message indicates that you're starting XWin directly

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 +solaris_ip
xhost +localhost
You could also just do an xhost
Cygwin does indeed run on 32-bit versions of Windows Vista.
Don't know about 64-bit versions. In my experience, there
are a few catches to getting Cygwin to work on Vista:
1. Run the Cygwin setup as Administrator and in XP

Hi,
I can't get Emacs to work on Cygwin on Vista. Xemacs works
just fine, but Emacs doesn't. When I try to launch Emacs in
GUI mode from an xterm, the shell just hangs. When I try to
launch it in console mode from a non-X bash shell, the shell
just hangs. Again, Xemacs works; it's only Emacs
You might also want to check your firewall settings. Firewalls tend
to get real touchy when the signatures for binary files change.

Here's a copy of a post I sent previously about Solaris and X server
