RE: Running multiple servers from Windows Terminal Server


Hi Salah,

	I can attest that XWin will work over RDP and over Netmeeting too.

	One thing, I usually use -engine 1, so that the drawing will be done by GDI
because RDP didn't seem to be able to get the data (all I would get was a
big white square or a big transparent square).

	I use these on a workstation though, either Windows XP, sharing its desktop
or Windows 2000 with Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (they are two
different things).

	Both work fine.

As for Windows Terminal Server, I can't say.

Subject: Running multiple servers from Windows Terminal Server

Hello,

I have used Cygwin/Xfree86 on PCs for around a year
now, without any
problems.
Now i have some users who run their applications on
Thin clients Terminals
hooked to
a Windows NT 4 (Terminal server edition) (RDP
protocol).
I installed the latest version of Cygwin/Xfree86 and
created two batch
files :

X0.bat
----------
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
.
.
start /B XWin -ac -query peis07 -screen 0 1024x768x16
-engine 4

And

X1.bat
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:1.1
.
.
start /B XWin -ac -query peis07 -screen 1 1024x768x16
-engine 4

I set two Terminals one running X0.bat and the other
one X1.bat, now each
of them works fine as long as i don't launch the
other.
Probably TCP Port problem ???

My questions are :
1) Can this work properly ? is there any other
parameters to pass to Xwin
?
2) Is someone using Cygwin/Xfree86 in a Terminal
Server Environement ?
What are the issues
     that you may have encounter, and what solutions
did you implement to
solve them ?

Thank you for your help in advance,

Salah Zerrougui
