Re: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
I don't think the /tmp/.X11-unix is related. Hmm remind me; are you getting a black screen the hourglass, or just the stipple ? George Thomas P pgeorge@aalayance.

First thanks to all of you for your replies. But I'm still out of luck :-( .I'll tried using some of the stuff in Ben's batch file XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -once -query local.hp.ux.ip (thanks for sending it :-)). It still didn't work but, there was a change in that my X session opened a window, I saw that squat looking hour glass for about 2 secsonds before it blanked out. Here's my XWin.log file. I looked through it and found something odd :- _XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root Anyone out there able to help me out with intrepreting this ? regards George :-) P.S.

RE: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
George, Your email has been received. However, I do not work with HP-UX and I am not sure if anyone here does, so I didn't want you to think that you were being ignored if you don't get any further replies. Hopefully someone around here will be able to help you out. I can start with the usual though: send in your /tmp/XWin.log contents.

Hi there, I'm a newbie with Cygwin. I have the following problem after executing the following command to start an X session with a HP UX machine:- XWin -query nn.nn.nn.nn where nn.nn.nn.nn is our HPUX ip. My Cygwin instance hangs after that. I was wondering if any of you folks were successful in starting remote X Sessions with HP-UX ? HP-UX uses the CDE window manager I believe, I saw some suggestions for the Solaris CDE in the Cygwin FAQ, do they apply to HP UX as well ? If anyone out there could offer some pointers I'd be most grateful. Thanks in advance regards George
RE: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
sorry, looks like i missed this the first time 'round. with both hp-ux and solaris i have mixed results, but i think this is mostly due to our interesting dns/wins combination here. Sometimes i need to specify the ip i'm sending from: Xwin -query hostname -from my.ip but this may be due to the fact that my laptop's hostname isn't reliably resolvable. thanks, ben Harold Hunt [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: cc: cygwin-xfree-owner@ Subject: RE: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ? cygwin.com 10/01/2002 11:36 AM Please respond to cygwin-xfree George, Your email has been received.

Re: Re: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
Hi All, Thanks :-) for the responses ...but I'm still unsuccessful. I did try XWin -query nn.nn.nn.nn -from my.ip but no luck yetHere's my XWin.log file. To those folks who are able to run remote HP CDE sessions (green with envy I be ;-) ), did you have to do any special configuration, or tweak any prop files or something. Once again :-) thanks in advance. regards George XWin.log Description: Binary data
Re: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
Hi, Cygwin XFree has a limitation - it doesn't work with 8bpp screens. You need to change your screen settings to at least 16bpp. To change you color depth: Right click on the desktop, select 'Properties'; select the 'Settings' tab; change the 'Color Quality' setting to either 'High (24 bits)' or 'Highest (32 bits)'. Warning: check that selecting a higher color depth doesn't cause Windows to reduce you screen resolution. Check that the 'Screen Resolution' value has not changed. Click OK. regards Papa Fox _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Re: Remote sessions with HP UX CDE ?
Mr. Fox, What limitation are you speaking of? I wrote the 8bpp code, so I can assure you that there is no such limitation. Perhaps you were saying that Cygwin/XFree86 cannot connect to HP UX's CDE when running in 8bpp --- I would certainly believe that, but I have not heard that from other users yet. If you haven't tried 8bpp in awhile, try it. It has worked fine for months now. The only remaining problem is that we cannot support 8bpp visuals when the root visual is 8bpp; for example, we can't allow you to run your desktop in 16bpp and still display a given CAD program on an 8bpp visual (seems CAD programs love to use 8bpp). Other than that we are pretty much feature complete in the 8bpp department. Harold Papa Fox wrote: Hi, Cygwin XFree has a limitation - it doesn't work with 8bpp screens.
