Hi,
I'm starting my xserver using
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe -p /usr/X11R6/bin XWin -multiwindow
-clipboard -silent-dup-error
and then I do:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/zsh
when I do
% ssh -Y host@remote.edu
I can successfully open remote x-windows.
However,
If I use mintty 0.91 instead of rxvt as shown below:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -e /bin/xhere /bin/zsh
when I do
% ssh -Y host@remote.edu
I *cannot* successfully open remote x-windows.
Note that changing the shell from zsh to bash doesn't help at all.
Any advice appreciated.
The appropriate log files are attached.
According to your cygcheck output, you don't have a DISPLAY environment
variable set. Does performing an "export DISPLAY=:0" before using ssh
help?
