Re: Xdmcp too slow with SOME Linux accounts.
Mario Scheble schrieb: Hello. Please, I need some help with the following problem. My PC has Windows XP and is part of a WorkGroup with a Debian Linux network. I installed Cygwin, and XDMCP properly works when I login on a remote machine to ONE Linux account. But when I login to ANOTHER account with the same privileges, the connection is very slow. What could it be wrong with the second account? Most likely this account is older and has some leftovers in its startup files. I had similar problems with a kde update (sound daemon related) Without knowing what is started when you login it is impossible to give further advice. Try a newly created account, if this has no problems, recreate the older ones. -- 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/

If yes, what options should be applied? Don't think so. As far as I can tell, my .bash_profile is not being executed when I login via xwin. Here is a PS to show what is running when I connect via telnet session. That is not relevant, the question is what is started: Gnome, KDE, WindowMaker or something similar. Here is the console output when I connect. Does this show anything? winLoadCursor - Windows requires 32x32 cursor but X requires 39x26 That seems odd. I have never seen such a message. Does the working login get the same message?

font and screen size
I tried to change the font size with the option -fs after the xterm command however xterm did not recognize that option even though it appeared in man xterm. I am guessing that it was just not compiled into the cygwin version of xterm. Is there any other way to accomplish this. I could just set the -fn option which stands for font name and use a font that has a large standard size but someone would need to explain to me how to set that up! I just want to get the shell larger in general so it does not hurt my eyes. Maybe there is another way just to scale everything up?

Re: font and screen size
That is weird. I do not have a .Xdefaults in my home directory. I do have a .Xauthority-c file, which is empty. I downloaded it pretty recently, maybe we are working with different versions.

Re: font and screen size
OK. I think it was not working because I was just appending options to %RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l in the startx batch file which for some reason does not work for any option I append (the shell just dies quickly). One interesting thing I found is that if I replace the %RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l in the startx batch file with xterm -fn 12X24 I get the large font size however it opens onto my Windows desktop not my cygwin hierarchy which is in a different drive. It opens into the correct drive but with the small font with %RUN% xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l. How can I get it to open with the large font size in the correct directory?
