Hi there,
I've been happily using Cygwin/X for a couple of years on 2 or 3 different PC systems primarily as a display server for some Big Iron in our server room.
I've recently installed Cygwin/X on my new whizz-bang desktop machine and I'm having a problem. When I run startxwin.sh (or startxwin.bat for that matter) everything appears to come up normally, with the exception of anything in the window itself.
For example, the xterm in the default startup script stays as a white window with no prompt or text, and the mouse cursor is 'X' when it is over this window. In this case, the window titlebar changes to '~' which implies that bash has started to run OK (indeed, Windows task manager shows bash.exe exists) but I don't know why it's not painting properly or handling events.
As a second example, xlogo again creates a white window with no contents. Again, the mouse cursor is 'X' when I hover on the window.
Launching the client program on the remote solaris box with approriate DISPLAY set has the same result; a window appears but it stays empty.
Nothing I can get from XWin.log but I've attached it regardless.
Hope someone can help!
Cheers Gareth
