Re: Problems connecting to the X-Server

["Newton Robinson" <newtonrob at home dot com>]

Thank you,

The new cygwin1.dll seems to have fixed the problem.  It's a little slow,
but I was able to start most windows.  xcalc did not work.  How fast should
it be on a 1Ghz PIII?  I'm using an ATI all-in-wonder Rage 128 vide card.

Again, thank you

Newton
