Just for my information... Running Cygwin/X

To start a X server on cygwin and, have it work for me, I did: > startx & Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project Release: 6.8.99.901-4 [...lots more...] > xhost + xhost: unable to open display "" > xhost +10.128.1.131 xhost: unable to open display "" > export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 > xhost +SERVER-IP-ADDRESS SERVER-IP-ADDRESS being added to access control list Then ssh user@SERVER-IP-ADDRESS export DISPLAY=CIGWIN-SYSTEM_IP rock and roll... Probably the setting of the display to the local host IP on Cygwin could/should be set in a config file somewhere... [/items/Devlog] permanent link
