Hello. I use Cygwin/X on my office computer to run a program called Cadence (using 24-bit display), but have limited Cygwin functionality when I use remote desktop to work from home. Displays are set to 32-bit on both computers, and the Windows XP remote-desktop protocol (RDP) version I am using on both supports 32-bit displays. If I start Cygwin at the office and then use RDP to connect from home, everything continues working perfectly. However, if I log in remotely and then start a new Cygwin session, I get the following:
*ERROR* Failed to find either 24-bit TrueColor or 8-bit PseudoColor Visual. *WARNING* Failed to find either 24-bit TrueColor or 8-pbit PseudoColor Visual.
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error run xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l
I believe that Cygwin is detecting the optimal display settings on startup and determining it to be less than 32-bit when initiated through remote desktop. I would use the -depth command line option to manually set the depth to 32 bits, but this does not work with multiwindow enabled. Is there another way that I can manually set the display depth? Or somehow ensure that Cygwin determines that 32-bits are optimal when started through a remote desktop session?
I have tried modifying the .inputrc file for 8-bit mode as follows, but had the same problem.
set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on
