XWin -engine 1
Most remote-view applications do not work with DirectDraw. You need to force
Cygwin/XFree86 to use the GDI engine with -engine 1.

s, but has anyone had a problem getting the Cygwin XFree86 displaying on desktop
s shared via PCAnywhere and NetMeeting? I am seeing the same behaviour on both.
Basically, on the PC that is running X and hosting either PCAW or NM, the X se
ssion displays normally. However, the display on the remote PC does not update.
If you minimize and restore the X session, you can see an updated view on the
remote PC, but that's the only way. There must be some refresh issue with PCAW
and NM not realizing that the X session is updating the screen. On a side note,
Lotus' SameTime IM client doesn't have a problem sharing the X session. Thanks
in advance for any advice. BCNU//jle
