Re: No apps for cygwin xfree

Lars,

    I still have been having problems with this on my machine. In fact I
have tried the WeirdX, XServer in Java and it works great with my linux box.
But when I tried to use the cygwin xterm it would not start on my machine
due to the cannot open display error.

Also when I try to do the same thing running xfree, instead of WeirdX the
connection is refused by the xserver so it seems to be working I just can't
get anything to display on it.

If you just need a simple xterm WeirdX is not bad, although it is still a
work in progress.. gnome does not run and I had problems setting the font
size interactively on an xterm.

Kevin
