RE: XGGI-on-X ... nothing?


XGGI is a complete X-server, you cannot run like Xnest.  You
can run it alongside Exceed.  The code of XGGI was slightly modified for
Win32/Cygwin.  It also uses different libraries on Win32 then on UNIX.  John
Fortin
may shed some light on it. Can you not use Xnest from XFree86?
