Don't have time to look up my exact steps right now, but I believe all I needed to do was install the X stuff listed in the cygwin setup.exe I modified my startxwin.bat script to call wmaker as the window manager too cause IMO the default wm that comes with it (twm I think) sucks very much badly. The biggest issue I've had with using a cygwin X server is that it maintains a seperate clipboard so copy/paste between win32 and the X server involves an intermediate file. -- Benmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

As a regular user of Xwin32, it's incredibly buggy and unstable compared to eXceed from Hummingbird.

X server for Windows
Hi, I need to connect to my FreeBSD box from a Windows PC using some kind of X server for Windows. I was wondering if someone could be so kind and give me a few recommendations? I only need a simple server, no print or stuff - just the plain (vnc-like) thing.
