RE: XWin.exe <--> xinit link


RTFM! Do "man xinit" from the Cygwin command-line and read the 1st 3 paragraphs.

Thanks Artur,

But that's not quite the info I was looking for;

You see, when I type startxwin.bat or startxwin.sh, I get a DIFFERENT
result than from starting xinit by itself.

Yet, xinit does start XWin, only it is starting it in windowed mode...
Which is OK, but I'm just wondering WHERE does xinit get this from? Is it
executing a script?

You can find manual and parameters for XWin from command:
man XWin

> Is it executing a script?
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat
/usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.sh
