a feathiable solution displaying Windows program on Linux via ssh / X?
Hi All, I search the post(http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2005-06/msg00627.html) at cygwin mailing list. Had anyone found a feathiable solution displaying Windows program on Linux via ssh / X? If the answser is no, i beg X gurus to give me any advice how to implement it. Wine and VNC are not my choice.

You will have to explain what you exactly meant by 'wine' and 'vnc' and why you dont want them. E.g. one possibility would be to run the windows app on a windows machine using *wine in cygwin*.

If the answser is no, i beg X gurus to give me any advice how to implement it. Wine and VNC are not my choice. An alternative to Terminal client or cytrix is rdesktop. But besides that there is no working solution to wrap windows programs with X11. You might want to take a look at cygpeace which is not much more than a prove of concept which allowed to export winmine over x11. http://www.freedesktop.org/~ago/cygpeace/ Before begging X gurus (which btw is the wrong group to ask) you should check the win32-x11 archives http://sourceware.org/ml/win32-x11/ starting with July - September, 2002 until July - September, 2004. Some techniques for wrapping and redirecting windows GDI calls to X11 were discussed there but most of the initial activity vaporized after few months. Basicly there are a few ways which might work: - build a display driver which uses X11 as backend x11_drv from wine might provide the conversion to X11 calls - wrap GDI calls from applications with own, X11 aware implementations cygpeace aproach - Check how Terminal Client works and implement a backend which uses X11 instead of RDP bye ago BTW: Use rdesktop. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Wine is a win32 emulator in Unix, *wine in cygwin* need to install lot of thing. The worst is that wine is currently under heavy development, many win32 apps could not run on it. e.g. IE. VNC will share whole screen, i hope only app's wins would be shared. Although some version VNC(TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com/) could share a window, but the result is pool. Unless some NX(http://www.nomachine.com/) cache tech integrate with VNC. it's not a consideration.

RE: xrdb needs cpp, but i do not need gcc

Wrong mailing list. No it isn't really, because the real question is Could cpp be packaged separately from gcc, regardless of whether for an X app that needs it or otherwise, and the answer is No, it can't be, because the preprocessor is built into the compiler these days, not a standalone like it used to be; the seeming standalone cpp.exe is just a driver that invokes cc1.exe with the -E flag. [ Historical note: And that's the reason why cygcheck always used to say Not Found: cpp (good!) because when it was a standalone it used to live in the gcc-lib subdir and it was generally bad news if you got that in your $PATH, things used to break. ] cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/

Re: Pseudo Colors on Solaris
I had this very same problem with HP. The way I got around it was to start a X session in fullscreen mode with the windowmanager of your choice in 8 bit color. Not a sexy solution, but it worked.

I had thought about and tried that. When I do that I get really weird colors. (white is greenish yellow, red is blue-ish, ...) I also tried from windows setting XWIN to run in 256 colors from the 'compatibility' tab in properties. This worked also plus it let me use multiwindow but the colors were still messed up but not quite as bad. (red was red 255 0 0 but white was also red 255 0 0). When I do not do ether, I can sort of see the image but it is very very dark. I know it can be done because Exceed does it. I am currently looking for more info on how to use the -cc and -co. Maybe I can come up with some kind of custom mapping. The Sun box runs an app called blink_task to flash some of the colors so I know it is trying to change about 70 of the 256 colors to something custom. The more I dig, the deeper I get.
