Re: XWin 100% CPU usage for Java applications on Vista


I had similar problems and found that starting the X Server with
 -engine 1 will help. Give it a try.

I was experimenting with other solutions, and I found Xming, another open source project. Xming doesn't seem to have any of the problems of Cygwin/X.

What's funny is that Xming has command line parameters very similar to
the cygwin version, including the -engine parameter, with the same 3
options. GDI, DD, DD no lock.

Even the tray icon context menu and the about window are the same.

I wonder why RedHat doesn't include this X server instead of Cygwin/X
in the cygwin distribution, especially since, according to the
Cygwin/X home page, the project lost its maintainer 2 years ago.
