Hello. I am trying to use Cygwin/X for access to our AIX machines. I can successfully use Xceed to connect, export DISPLAY=<ip:0.0>, and run xclock or other x applications.
I can't get the same results using Cygwin. Here are my steps: 1. Start Cygwin 2. type startx to open an xterm on my Windows machine 3. ssh -l <user> <aix machine> 4. Login 5. export DISPLAY=<win ip:0.0> 6. Run xclock It doesn't work. If I could get this to work, this would be a BIG win for Open Source at my company. Thanks SO much for any help. The output from Cygwin is below: @CHAL8S5S871 ~ $ startx Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.2.0-4 Contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com XWin was started with the following command line: X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root 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 (==) FontPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT F/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/ X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" winDetectSupportedEngines - Windows NT/2000/XP winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw installed winDetectSupportedEngines - DirectDraw4 installed winDetectSupportedEngines - Returning, supported engines 00000007 winSetEngine - Multi Window or Rootless => ShadowGDI winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI - Using Windows display depth of 32 bits per pixel winAllocateFBShadowGDI - Creating DIB with width: 2560 height: 1024 depth: 32 winFinishScreenInitFB - Masks: 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff winInitVisualsShadowGDI - Masks 00ff0000 0000ff00 000000ff BPRGB 8 d 24 bpp 32 null screen fn ReparentWindow null screen fn RestackWindow InitQueue - Calling pthread_mutex_init InitQueue - pthread_mutex_init returned InitQueue - Calling pthread_cond_init InitQueue - pthread_cond_init returned winInitMultiWindowWM - Hello winInitMultiWindowWM - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Hello winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Calling pthread_mutex_lock () MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shar ed memory support in the kernel (--) Setting autorepeat to delay=500, rate=31 (--) winConfigKeyboard - Layout: "00000409" (00000409) (--) Using preset keyboard for "English (USA)" (409), type "4" Rules = "xorg" Model = "pc105" Layout = "us" Variant = "(null)" Options = "(null )" (--) 16 mouse buttons found Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from li st! winPointerWarpCursor - Discarding first warp: 1280 512 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winProcEstablishConnection - Hello winInitClipboard () winClipboardProc - Hello DetectUnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP winProcEstablishConnection - winInitClipboard returned. winClipboardProc - DISPLAY= 127.0.0.1:0.0 winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_lock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - DISPLAY= 127.0.0.1:0.0 winInitMultiWindowWM - pthread_mutex_unlock () returned. winInitMultiWindowWM - DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 winClipboardProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the display. winInitMultiWindowWM - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the disp lay. winMultiWindowXMsgProc - XOpenDisplay () returned and successfully opened the di splay.
