H... Are you running a window manager? It sounds like you are not.
Try running twm (Tiny Window Manager) before you run anything else.
There are lots of other window managers out there, but twm is packaged
with the XFree86 cygwin package.

No, there is not way for Cygwin/XFree86 to use the entire area of the
dual-display; that is pretty much a limitation of DirectDraw, if I
recall correctly (I seem to remember that a surface can only span a
single physical monitor). You could probably pass the ``-engine 1''

So, what you really want is to be able to say ``start screen 0 on

You example makes no sense at all. The problem is that 127.0.0.1 is a

Use /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat to start Cygwin/XFree86. Then go to

See if that works. Part of your problem could be starting XWin.exe from

I have used the new version of XFree86 since August. I am happy with it.

Interesting. I think you may have found the reason (and solution) for

Rodrigo,
Hmm... that is potentially a very helpful observation.
I cannot remember off-hand whether the color map is arbitrarily
constructed, or whether I read the colors from the Windows color table.
In either case, it is possible that I have a simple off-by-one error in
how the colors are
Helmut,
I think you need to point your ``font path'' at the font server running
on the Solaris 8 machine. You can do this with the XWin.exe
command-line parameter ``-fp''. There are examples on the web, and
there is an example in the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ:

Are you using the ``-rootless'' command-line parameter? If so, the

that he was working on fixing it. If not, then we might need to look

Hi Harold,
the FSM is doing something like a lookahead. This lookahead is only
done when the first Control_L press is detected.
Normally the FSM stays in the initial state 0 and passes all input
through. So there is no real transformation.
But if the FSM detects a Control_L press it keeps this
