Re: CDE problem with Solaris 8
Peter, To rule out any problems with bash... please use a modified startxwin.bat (which you should have in /usr/X11R6/bin if you installed the startup-scripts package as per the Cygwin/XFree86 User's Guide installation instructions). You should only have to change the line: start /B XWin ... to: start /B XWin -query 158.226.199.9 -fp tcp/158.226.199.9:7100 Note: do not use the -screen 0 1024 768 parameter, and to start with do not use the -noreset and -ac parameters. It seems that the X Server is trying to create about 10 screens, as it initializes several of them without ever closing any of them. So, it isn't really reseting, it's just spawning tons of screens. Also, please make sure that Exceed is not running *at all* when you are trying to run Cygwin/XFree86, as they both try to listen on the same network port, so this will obviously cause problems. Also, please reboot your Windows machine before experimenting, as we've had at least one user report troubles only to realize that he had several failed XWin.exe processes still running, thus preventing new processes from running correctly.

RE: Problem with Solaris
*My* problem in this situation turned out to be that the XDMCP session from Solaris needed Solaris fonts which are not available by default on Cygwin/XFree86. I solved my problem by having my XWin use the font server on the Solaris box: XWin -from "$MyPC" -query "$SolarisBox" -fp tcp/$SolarisBox:7100 & Alternatively, there are publicly-available font conversion programs which would allow you to convert the Solaris fonts into Cygwin/XFree86 fonts and install them on your PC.

Re: Problem with Solaris
Take a look at your .xsession-errors file on the solaris machine AFTER your loging fails. There is probably something wrong with your .xinitrc or .xsession files. Possibly go downt to minimal files there, and try again? But the .xsession-errors very often will give you a hint in that case.

Problem with Solaris
I'm trying to get cygwin/xfree working using XDMCP from Solaris (on sparc), but all I get is a black screen with an egg-timer. It works fine using XDMCP from a Linux host. Using X-Win32 on the same PC works fine to Linux AND Solaris. Under X-Win32, when I first connect I get the black egg-timer window, then almost immediately I get the CDE login prompt. Under cygwin/xfree, I get the black egg timer, but no prompt. The egg-timer follows my mouse around, so there is obviously some X stuff going on, but not quite enough. Any ideas ? Thanks Stuart
