Harold, I am not using OpenSSH to ssh into the UNIX. I am using xdm with a modified startup script from the file: \cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxdmcp.bat see below
start XWin :2 -query %REMOTE_HOST% -scrollbars -lesspointer -fp tcp/%REMOTE_HOST%:7100 I do get the login screen and everything comes up just fine (it did not with the previous version of XWin I tried some time ago). It connects also just fine to the fontserver I have running on the remote host. Everything works on my PC (with root area of 1600x1200 and NT service pack 6) when displaying the pictures of the application running on the Unix box. But it does not on the controller with the root area of 12800x2048 (running Windows2000) I get the error below. Which is why I suspect a problem with the size of the root area. I downloaded the code and started looking .. but so far no numbers. I also tried to understand the Xf86config file but did not get far with this.

You know, now that I think about it, if you are using OpenSSH on Cygwin to ssh into the UNIX box, then you are probably having problems do to the new trusted X11 bug^H^H^Hfeature. See the following for more information on how to work around it: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-ssh-no-x11forwarding Harold Bonert Brigitte wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to use the prebuilt XWin.exe on a root area of > 12800x2048 (20 projectors arranged in 2 rows each with a resolution of > 1280x1024) > > The application on the Unix side (DEC Alpha) uses Pseudo colors so I run > with 256 colors only on the special PC which runs a modified WIndows2000 > with a special DisplayDriver which supports this resolution (it contains 20 > video cards). > > When run XWin.exe on my PC and display the pictures of the application on > the Unix server everything works just fine (I can have only 256 colors which > make for some strange colors) but on the special PC I am getting this error > (within the Unix application): > > X_Error Bad Window (invalid Window parameter) > Major opcode of failed request: 20 (X_GetProperty) > > and the application on the Unix box fails to run partially. > > Is there a max width value I am exceeding and can change and rebuild the > executable? > > I found your Cygwin/X User's Guide excellent and easy to use thank you very > much for providing it. > > What I found too: > The XWin.exe does not have an easy way to find out its version or did I miss > this? > (like XWin.exe --version) > > Is there a way to define the title of the upcoming server window (I am using > xdm on the Unix boxes)? > > Please let me know > Thank you > > Brigitte > > Independent Electricity Market Operator > * [EMAIL PROTECTED] > * 905 855 6102 > > > > > *---------------------------------------- > This message is intended only for the use of the intended recipients, and it may be privileged and confidential.
