I'm trying to replace my Hummingbird eXceed Win32 X Server with Cygwin/Xfree86.
I've gotten all the Cygwin & XFree86 Components in place on my W2k box, and I can now run X apps remotely by following the procedure: - Start X Server on W2K - Add remote RedHat box to xhosts - Telnet to remote RedHat box - Configure DISPLAY to point at W2K box - Execute xterm & (for instance) That gets me a nice xterm running here on my W2K machine. However, what I'd really like to do is an XDMCP logon to the aforementioned RedHat box, so that I don't have to go through this procedure and I can get the full desktop on the Linux box. When I try the suggestion in the Cygwin/XFree86 user's guide, XWin.exe -query remote_hostname I just get the default X black-and-white checked background like it's waiting for the other machine to respond. I never get the logon screen from the RedHat box. I've also tried variations like using -from my_w2k_ip_address -display 800x600x16 all to no avail (same result). I believe that Xaccess and such are set up correctly on the RedHat machine as I haven't changed anything there since my eXceed worked ok. Can someone please give me a pointer or two? I've tried to exhaust all docs, faq's, etc before posting. Thanks for your help, Andy alemmon at midsouth dot rr dot com
