Hello!
Recently i have started using Insight (https://sourceware.org/insight/)
under Cygwin/X. Everything is quite good except one thing.
I remember once upon a time i worked on MacOS X. There, X server starts up
automatically if there is some program requesting it. On Cygwin i still have
to run it by hands. Is is possible to set up autostart of the X server ? May
be i just don't know how to do it ?
I use the xlaunch program and have it set to start when I log in.
It can start programs for you, if you want anything started from
the beginning, but you can have it run no programs and simply wait
for any X programs to come along.
If you run xlaunch with no arguments it pops up a short interactive
GUI for setting up the configuration. And of course "man xlaunch"
will tell you more.
Best wishes -- Eliot Moss
