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.
If you are using IPX, and I think you have told me so, the Novell client
resets the order for the name resolution . Usually the timeout is about 1-2
minutes. Could you try to uninstall the whole novell client with IPX on a
client?
I think I've tracked down the problem to a ATI graphic card
*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

Joe,
Have you done an actual file search for multiple versions of cygwin1.dll, or
have you just assumed that since you only installed Cygwin once that you

I also added a Q/A for the slowdown caused by ATI2evxx.exe (Q 6.1):
Joe,
Well, it goes in now that it is useful to someone.
