| 1. have cygwin XFree86 window to be full sreen (meaning no boarder) Hmm could an alternative be without background.. meaning the windows desktop is the behind.. is the window? | 2. have windows apps run inside the Xfree86 session? Nope, alternative might be using VNC or similar if you want to see the screen on other computer.. if you want to throw out a bunch of different windows-screens to a bunch of other clients, I think there is a vnc-application that can do this too. Or well maybe if you run vncviewer on x-mode, grabbing display of the vncserver on the machine.. hmm nope.. wouldn't think so. /Andy p.s. there is a cygwin.xfree mailinglist where I sent this answer to too, and could be a good place for future questions. -- The eye of the beholder rests on the beauty!

Re: Root Problmems

Re: rdesktop.exe session on an X-terminal?
hi!

Re: rdesktop.exe session on an X-terminal?
| On a test machine using Cygwin/Xfree86 one may telnet from the | X-terminal and establish an xterm (bash) session but then invoking | 'rdesktop.exe' will not open a session on the remote display. | 'rdesktop.exe' does open a session window on the console display if | invoked from a console command prompt. rdesktop.exe, compiled how?

[...] | As you can see our hope is to build an alternative to Citrix | to present Win2k desktop sessions on X-terminals using only one | Win2k host.

You think that rdesktp.exe can do this? Provide the sessions on the 'server'? If so, just a quick thought how come you think (could be true, could be false) rdesktop.exe can provide and export the 'session' of one 'virtual' windows session to a remote host? I thought it was just a viewer, and rdesktop.exe is used to see sessions on other computers, a client, not a server? BTW Isn't there a vnc-port that does a bit of this? Can do sessions.. or is it that it can send just windows.. /Andy -- Everything that was magical was just a way of describing the world in words it couldn't ignore. - "Pyramids" by Terry Pratchett Please note, new email, @telia.com -> @comhem.se
Re: rdesktop.exe session on an X-terminal?
I think I have found your 'problem', assuming you are using rdesktop.exe from http://www.atomice.com/rdesktop.html.. If I have gotten stuff right, The target of this rdesktop.exe is to do a rdesktop running natively on a windows-machine, no X11 stuff needed during link (gcc -mno-cygwin -DWIN32_NATIVE [...] -lws2_32 -lgetopts -lgdi32 -luser32) Pull down the rdesktop source, and configure and make it natively under cygwin, I think you should get a better rdesktop.exe (final link command something like gcc [...] -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lcrypto) /Andy -- The eye of the compiler rests on the code!
