Use pixels, not inches. If you windows desktop is 1024x768, you could try for example $ XWin -query 192.168.0.XXX -screen 0 800 640 NOTE: Do NOT use 'inches', and do not use 'x' between width and height. See 'man XWin' for more info, or the users guide - http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/ug/configure-cygwin-xfree-options.html Rasjid.
