Re: Connecting to an XServer with XWin

No. /tmp.

Ok, please look for /var/log/XWin.log; does it contain anything interesting?

If you open a cygwin bash shell, type the command to run the X server,
you get
no output at all?
Cygwin X server is running ok.  Well, xinit, is the way I start mine.
That works ok.  If you mean the command above, that is how I do it:  I
open the cygwin bash DOS shell and I type the command above.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "Nothing gets written on the cygwin DOS screen"
This is the copy text of the bash DOS term

jic 23:24:55-> XWin -once -clipboard -query 13.142.6.222 -fp tcp/13.142.6.222:7100
jic 23:26:42->


as you can see, nothing gets written to the bash DOS screen...

I'm still a bit unclear if something or nothing gets written to the shell
window when you run xwin.

just like I said above. When I run the command previously, I would get something written. Like what the XWin.log has.



If you add -once to the command used to launch the server, does it
exit after
your first connection attempt? (if so, this tells me that the XDM or
whatever
you are trying to log in to is closing the connection when you type,
for it's
own reasons, or maybe it just doesn't like us anymore...)

This command,


XWin :0.0 -once -clipboard -query 13.142.6.222 -fp tcp/13.142.6.222:7100

exits the login screen once I hit any key in the user textbox.  Is there
any way to get the previous setup? Maybe it has to do with the keyboard
problem I have read very little of...

No, I think problem is that the XDM (if that's what it is) you're connecting
to is getting upset and closing the connection.


This email suggests a way of getting additional information about why XDM is
doing that: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2002-01/msg00253.html

Ok, I will give this a try tomorrow, when I am in front of it.


If your keyboard wasn't working, then, logic suggests that nothing would
happen when you started typing your login.
Right.
