I have win2k/sp1 and an up to date cygwin and xfree86/cygwin (as of
2000-12-07).
My idea is that the x-server should be started from within cygwin, using the
regular startx script.
I realise that you have a startxwin.bat script to start it directly from
windows environment but that
using that, changing to use twm instead of vtvm that's not in the distrib, I
get errors not finding bash
This is my modified script
echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET PATH=%PATH%;\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;\cygwin\usr\bin;\cygwin\bin
start XWin -screen 0 800x600x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0
start /B xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e bash
start /B rxvt -fn "Lucidia Console-12"
start /B twm
So, over to the regular startx script then. Trying to use it, I get
complaints about like this:
$ startx
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
pwin->width = 00000400
pwin->height = 00000300
pwin->paddedWidth = 00000800
pwin->bitsPerPixel = 00000010

00000064, 00000400 )

administrator@BOTTEN /usr/X11R6/bin
(I do run it from /usr/X11R6/bin dir :-)
Now, what is this SecurityPolicy and how do I attack the problem?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
