RE: how can i change the color of xterms that connected with ssh to unix account
Hello and thanks for the reply I don't have the possibility to change the remote host I was hopping to be able to change the color of the xterm window Every time I log in into remote host but to control it from cygwin For example if I type : Can it be done ? Also I can't find the file /usr/share/doc/xterm-229/ctlseqs.txt In my installation is there some web reference to that ?

Read the file /usr/share/doc/xterm-229/ctlseqs.txt for other escape sequences you can use to control xterm.

NET HELPMSG 53 Returns: "The network path was not found." This means you're missing a required DLL. Run 'cygcheck xterm' to find out what's missing and then 'cygcheck -f ' to find out what package you need to install to fulfill this requirement. Then re-run 'setup.exe' and install that package. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.

Re: Use remote graphical program

In these situations I usually do; 0) on my windows machine I start cygwin and afterwards use startxwin.sh 1) ssh -X name-of-the-gateway-machine 2) ssh -X name-of-the-linux-machine-inside-the-remote-network 3) program-name & and programs like emacs or firefox appear on my desktop. But for some other program which uses more advanced graphics it does not work, I get the following error message; [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0" . Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Do you know how could I overcome this situation ? This is more appropriately directed to the Cygwin X list. I've reset the "Reply-To" there. Please send any follow-up the the Cygwin X list. From the above, it's clear the application you're trying to use wants to access the underlying hardware (via OpenGL). This is not supported in the current Cygwin X server. I believe there is a MinGW version which has some support for this though. You may want to investigate that. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
