Re: problems with XFree

I think Cygwin/XFree86 is a great product -- but there is nothing so good that it can't be improved. I agree with all of you comments, although I haven't had the system reboot experience. One persistant problem that you didn't mention (manybe you haven't run into it yet) is a very persistent

Hi, Just wondering; has anyone gotten xroach to work on Cygwin/XFree? It compiles fine, but when you run it, you don't get any roaches... Thanks.

Whenever I see an error message referring to "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE", it usually has something to do with the (non)existence of an .Xauthority file. Perhaps installing Cygwin-Xfree86 via one method results in an .Xauthority file whereas installing via the other method doesn't? This would be an int

I too have had problems. I have discovered differences in the parameters for xterm between Xfree and my SunOS system. Some Xfree parameters are deemed invalid on SunOS. Some SunOS parameters don't exist in xterm. Some don't work the same way, and some don't work on the cygwin as described in cygw
