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.
Sounds like you have a font problem on your Windows machine. Please send in the contents of /tmp/XWin.log after a failed attempt to connect.
