I am posting this for a friend who is without email access at the moment.
This is with Cygwin + XFree downloaded today (1.3.1)
The short story is that the windows manager dies because it can't open the
display. "Can't open display: 127.0.0.1:0.0"
We have tried this with DISPLAY set to 127.0.0.1:0.0 as well as the
ethernet IP address and the machine name. 127.0.0.1 is in the hosts file
with both localhost and `hostname` as associated names.
XWin.exe itself does start, we get the grey background with the little
black X mouse cursor. The really goofy thing is that if we start XWin
with -ac then it is possible to run twm and xterm from a Solaris box with
-display cygwinbox:0.0 and that works fine. Telnet localhost 6000 also
connects. Any Xwindows application run locally fails with Can't open
display: 127.0.0.1:0.0. /tmp does exist and there is a socket at
/tmp/.X11-unix/S0
Oh yeah, we also updated to DirectX 8a
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
-Steve
