Hey list, I'm new subscriber, but have been reading the threads - let me say that there's been a lot of helpful tips towards the a problem I'm having - I've gotten further but not quite there.. so I'm askin for some help. Apologies if this has already been covered..
I've got cygwin on winxp machine - can't connect to the X server. When using xwin.exe :0 -query <host> the checkered screen quickly comes up and then disappears.. Anyone know whats happening? Also I remember someone mentioning that X shouldn't be running on the linux box when trying to connect. How do I stop this as the login screen loads up everytime I boot up? The machine is running slackware. I'm pretty sure there's communication since tcpdumps show some responsive port 117 traffic.. Any help is appreciated, I'm new to linux so I'm not sure what to look for.. Thanks in advance.
