CygwinX xwin after login black screen
Hello, I have problem connect with CygwinX to SUSE 10 (SLES). 1. Procedure: - startxwin.bat - xwin :1 -query 132.9.1.3 -from 132.9.1.94 - login screen is displayed - enter username and password - Cygwin/X 132.9.1.3 is blank black screen 2. From internet explorer (VNC) - http://132.9.1.3:5801/ I connect to the same SUSE 10 server OK. 3. xwin :1 -query 132.9.1.100 -from 132.9.1.94 this is HP-UX server work OK.

Has anyone run xdm successfully under cygwin?
I have come back to this problem and have messed around with xdm on a Windows XP home edition using Cygwin 1.5.24(0.156/4/2). It still has similar problems to those I experienced back in 2003. So in the interim has anyone successfully run the program? On this attempt I am running it on a local disk. X -indirect hostname works like expected. (so it is not a comms problems) When I run xdm I run it is in an account with the uid set to 0 (so xdm thinks it is running as root). The problems I am getting are similar to those I got back in 2003. Running xdm in strace allows it to get the Xlogin screen (which still uses the password field in the /etc/password file). I have fixed the winXP NT permissions problems that occur if one logs in as a different user (but for testing purposes I login to the same account as that which initiates xdm process. It will execute the files in ~/.xsession. But on exiting those programs instead of returning to a xlogin screen (or a chooser screen) it returns to a blank cross hatch default X windows screen with no application running. Using tcpdump on another machine I can see no evidence that chooser.exe has been started (even though I have changed /etc/X11/Xaccess to * CHOOSER BROADCAST and I still have the problem of it not working at all unless it is run in strace strace xdm -nodeamon -debug 10 So my questions are: 1) Has anyone run xdm successfully under Cygwin? 2) If so any tips for how I can get it to work?

Re: sftp how insert @
@ is not a 8 bit character, so those changes in .inputrc should not be needed. Probably the keyboard layout for X11 is wrong. Cut paste from any other program should work just fine.

OpenGL files
Dear Cygwin/X team, I've just installed Cygwin Cygwin/X for the first time. The installation worked smoothly and I can run remote X applications (including OpenGL applications successfully. Your X server makes me wonder why we have paid thousands for an incomplete product: Hummingbird's X server. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful product. I'll try and work on the powers that be to make a contribution to the Cygwin team. I have a small question relating to developing OpenGL applications *locally*: I have installed the gcc/++ compiler suite, freeglut library files and the OpenGL-related files via the setup program. However, compiling OpenGL programs fails as the linker cannot find the GL libraries. Nor can I when I try looking for libgl.* and libglu.* in the usual locations. (libglut files are there). My questions: - have these files changed names / locations in the Cygwin heirarchy? - or does OpenGL-related files refer to other supplementary files but not to the main GL library files - if so - where can I find the GL lib files? Many thanks for any help on this.
