Hi all, I'm trying to connect to xdm on my Linux box running Debian Woody to use my Windows box as an X terminal. My problem is, I can't get a login window. I've done the following on the Linux box:
In the Xaccess file, I uncommented the following line: * #any host can get a login window In the xdm-config file, I commented out the following: ! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 I can see that xdm is running on the Linux box. I then edited the startxdmcp.bat script that comes with cygwin and set REMOTE_HOST to the ip of my Linux box. After these steps, when I run startxdmcp.bat I just get an emtpy root window, no login window. After a while it times out and /tmp/XWin.log looks as follows: Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.7.0.0-12 Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] XWin was started with the following command line: /usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -query 192.168.1.1 -nodecoration -lesspointer ddxProcessArgument - Initializing default screens winInitializeDefaultScreens - w 1280 h 1024 winInitializeDefaultScreens - Returning (WW) /tmp mounted int textmode winValidateArgs - g_iNumScreens: 1 iMaxConsecutiveScreen: 1 (II) XF86Config is not supported (II) See http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html for more information winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winSetEngine - Using Shadow DirectDraw NonLocking winAdjustVideoModeShadowDDNL - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "0000041D" (0000041d) (--) Using preset keyboard for "Swedish (Sweden)" (41d), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "se" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null)" Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing from list!

The Windows box has IP 192.168.1.2 and the Linux box 192.168.1.1. Any clue as to what the problem is here? Thanks in advance. Johan
