Dear Jan, I got the exact same "grey area" problem in coot when trying VcXsrv. However with Xming coot works well for me. In case of VcXsrv, I tried all the tricks I (or rather Google) found, without success.
In the past, we distributed Fedora USB keys to the students. Then, we switched to Ubuntu or Fedora installed in a Virtualbox container. Our hope is that WSL2 is a better solution since the windows integrate more seamlessly into the desktop ... best wishes, Kay On Sat, 30 Jan 2021 18:17:05 +0100, Jan Gebauer <jan.geba...@uni-koeln.de> wrote: >Dear Kay, > >I am running WSL with xds also for my normal work.
