Xserver and VNC

Xserver and VNC

[Ajay Jain]

Hi,

I use a Cygwin Xserver on Windows for Xterms. Now I have to access a
remote desktop using VNC. I find that if I open both, they conflict.
For example, if you do a copy/paste operation, both of them hang. Is
there any information on this? I need to use both of them at the same
time.

Regards,
Ajay

Hi Ajay,

I have the same problem from time to time.  I use RealVNC but have
also tried TightVNC - neither one improves the situation.

What *has* seemed to improve things is to install the experimental X
server (1.9) as well as latest XWin.exe from:

   ftp://cygwin.com/pub/cygwinx/XWin.20100923-git-2172af4d1ea713f1.exe.bz2

and the latest cygwin1.dll from:

   http://www.cygwin.com/snapshots/

Good luck!

- Jim

You could also try an X11 VNC client.  Cygwin Ports provides TigerVNC,
Vinagre (GNOME), and KRDC (KDE).

I am using the following cygwin: 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31, which is
quite the latest. Similarly, the Xserver is Release: 1.8.2.0
(10802000) Build Date: 2010-08-06. I am a little hesitant to try out
the experimental version or to risk my cygwin installation.

1) Are these versions not suitable?
2) Is there an alternative?

Thanks,
Ajay.

xorg-server 1.9.0-2 is no longer experimental.  As for stability, almost
everything I run on a daily basis is X-based; Jon would know if it
wasn't stable. :-)
