Hi, During a VNC session, when I type something in an X-term window, nothing appears until I move my mouse a little. Moving the mouse is required to see what has transpired on the VNC screen. Any thoughts on to what this might be? Thanks, Marty Marty: Do U happen to be using Cygwin xterms with a 'multiwindow' Xserver on a Windows machine? I use Cygwin tools on my MSWindows machines, and use all the defaults for startxwin.exe to start the Xserver, which starts up in multiwindow mode. I used to use 'fullscreen' mode, in which the Xserver never had any update problem (and still doesn't, when I can get it running), but fullscreen mode seems not to be supported by startxwin.exe any longer (I haven't checked the source code yet, though). When started using the older bash script, the Xserver doesn't start up reliably (I think that's why the maintainer switched to an executable), so I don't use fullscreen mode any more. In multiwindow mode, all the X-based tools often seem to need a keystroke or a mouse wiggle to update when they first gain focus. I'm not sure if this is due to X resources, the Xserver itself, or the Cygwin port of the X packages, but it's a place to start looking.
