Re: startx problem on Win-XP
I've also been struggling to get a useable windows system.
I use cygwin to log into Sun systems.
I tried the startxwin.bat method and get a window up, but it won't let me
redirect remote windows back to my Windows platform.
I then ssh into the sun machine
setenv DISPLAY machinename:0.0
textedit filename
as I can do when I use "startx"
I basically don't like the "twm" window manager, but haven't figure out how
to start something better.

Hello !
I have installed the newest cygwin-version
on my Win-XP box.
But i can't start the X-System.
It doesn't make any different how i try to start it.
I tried the following way...
startx 2>/tmp/mistlog
Use startxwin.bat instead:
