Thanks for reporting this problem. This is a bug. XWin currently always sets the default resize mode to -resize=randr. As it doesn't make sense to try to resize the screen in -fullscreen mode, we should set the default resize mode to -noresize. > Putting -noresize gets me further, in that I get no immediate error message, > but a totally black screen.

Closing log file. Can you try this again, but wait about 2 1/2 minutes to see if any XDM errors appear. > I note that I can still connect from my old laptop to the target VMS virtual > system running in a SimH VM on the new PC, so the target system and > networking are OK. I assume that this is running an older version of the X server. Can you say which? -depth 8 is not often used, so it's quite possible something has gotten broken. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
