Is it possible to set up my PC so that Cygwin/XFree86 is the X server and ReflectionX is the X client?
I have Cygwin and WRQ/ReflectionX both installed on my PC.
There are certain aspects of how XFree86 handles X clients that I don't like compared to how ReflectionX can handle them, so I don't generally use XFree86 with Cygwin.
However, I think I have an application that would benefit from a local X11 server.
I would like to build an X11 version of gnuplot under Cygwin, so I can start an 'xterm' on my PC from Cygwin and run gnuplot locally.
If I can use Cygwin/XFree86 to create the X window commands and use ReflectionX to display them, that would satisfy my requirements.
Any suggestions or pointers to a relevant FAQ would be appreciated.
Thanks,
jjo
