-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've never done this, so I don't have much info for you. But the one thing I can think of, is you might want to make sure you are using cygwin/X, not just cygwin. cygwin is just a port of the standard *nix console commands (ls, cp, cat, dd, etc.), whereas cygwin/X adds a port of the X Window System, including an X Server. For more info see <http://x.cygwin.com/>.
Also note there a probably several other M$ Windows X Servers out there, but I personally have never used any, so I can't recommend one over any other. Good luck, Conway S.
