Peter, To rule out any problems with bash... please use a modified startxwin.bat (which you should have in /usr/X11R6/bin if you installed the startup-scripts package as per the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide installation instructions).
You should only have to change the line: start /B XWin ... to: start /B XWin -query 158.226.199.9 -fp tcp/158.226.199.9:7100 Note: do not use the -screen 0 1024 768 parameter, and to start with do not use the -noreset and -ac parameters. It seems that the X Server is trying to create about 10 screens, as it initializes several of them without ever closing any of them. So, it isn't really reseting, it's just spawning tons of screens. Also, please make sure that Exceed is not running *at all* when you are trying to run Cygwin/XFree86, as they both try to listen on the same network port, so this will obviously cause problems. Also, please reboot your Windows machine before experimenting, as we've had at least one user report troubles only to realize that he had several failed XWin.exe processes still running, thus preventing new processes from running correctly. Let us know what happens, Harold > > Hi, > > I am trying to connect to our Solaris 8 server with the following command to > no avail (the X server seems to restart over and over again): > > /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -noreset -ac -screen 0 1024 768 -query 158.226.199.9 > -from 149.202.237.93 -fp tcp/158.226.199.9:7100& > > (I can successfully connect with Exceed to the seem machine using CDE login. > With the same Cygwin setup I am also able to successfully use CDE with a > Solaris 2.6 server.) > > For the Solaris 8 server, Xwin outputs the following log > > ddxProcessArgument () -
