Hi, I've been trying for a while to get Cygwin/X working with XDMCP for quite a while without any success; however, I am able to conenct without any any problem using Xming 6.9. I'm using a Windows 7 PC to connect to a different Linux VMs running CentOS 5.5. After starting XWin from the command line (either directly or using startxdmcp.bat), a window opens up that contains nothing but black. At first when I move the cursor over the winodow, it just disappears but after a while, the cursor will appear as an X and the following shows up in the log file:
[266377.900] winProcEstablishConnection - Hello [266377.900] winProcEstablishConnection - ProcEstablishConnection failed, bailing. [266385.653] winAboutDlgProc - WM_COMMAND - IDOK or IDCANCEL [266489.784] XDM: too many retransmissions, declaring session dead Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've included part of the log from one attempt to connect to one of the CentOS 5.5 VMs that I can connect to with Xming using XDMCP.
