Dear Cygwin People,
I have trouble getting the xfree86 to work with Cygwin. I followed the
installation instructions through
(http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/howto/cygwin-xfree-ug.html) When I come
to the 'startxwin.bat' I get 'Can't open display'. (Clicking the batch
file made a couple DOS-boxes flash up and off)
I tried start XWin first and afterwards an Xterm
$ XWin -screen 0 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 -engine -4
<Screen Output>
$ xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
Changing SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 to my ip-address did not help.
What can I test next?
Thanks,
Gert
