Don't have time to look up my exact steps right now, but I believe all I needed to do was install the X stuff listed in the cygwin setup.exe I modified my startxwin.bat script to call wmaker as the window manager too cause IMO the default wm that comes with it (twm I think) sucks very much badly. The biggest issue I've had with using a cygwin X server is that it maintains a seperate clipboard so copy/paste between win32 and the X server involves an intermediate file. -- Ben mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
