Re: Unable to open display or run xterm
Christopher Faylor suggested that I try: DISPLAY=:0 xterm& This immediately failed with error 53 (after hitting return twice). The exact same thing occurred in attempting to run xclock (DISPLAY=:0 xclock&). I am not sure what error 53 is (or where it is coming from - xterm or the shell - or). When I close windows (right click on X in tray then exit button) I get a message that zero clients are running. I am currently trying this on my HP desktop which has a geForce 7600 display adapter (i.e., 2 monitor capable adapter). The X display does come up and I can move the cursor with the mouse, so I presume X is hitting the correct spigot. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
