Sorry, Everyone. and I respect your opinion, Faylor.
maybe this is not a proper place to discuss coLinux specialized issue,
even it is related to Cygwin/X.
but how about Cygwin/X issue itself, even it is related to coLinux?
We, coLinux team found mainly two problem to adopt Cygwin/X for coLinux.
1. Slow.
Why VNC is sometimes faster?.
I ask you that the milestone of improving Cygwin performance.
Especially, how much you can utilize GDI acceleration feature?
2. reconnection.
Current Cygwin/X is not stable. often crashes.
it is okay. I believe you fix it in the future.
but I can not re-connect it ... this is very serious problem.
coLinux VM is runnning without problem. but I can not re-connect it.
come on.... please help this!!!.
and I think this can be fixed.
because, Keith Packard, the developer of LBX, which is similar to VNC in its purpose,
is developing a function which changes resolution and color depth of X on demand.
check here. http://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/
of course, changing resolution needs re-painting a whole desktop. and more.
then, why re-connection is impossible? it is rather easy.
tell me how.
Tell me any suggestion about these problems!.
Note: I am rather pro Cygwin guys in coLinux community. the main reason is
Japanese support where most of you would have no interest on.
but improving Cygwin/X for real usage is your interest, I suppose.
