From: Will Cladek <will.cladek@nrl.navy.mil> To: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com Subject: Using run.exe to start XWin with different display number Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:10:00 -0000 [thread overview] Message-ID: <525FE1B8.8050006@nrl.navy.mil> (raw) This is probably a dumb question with a simple solution, but I'm trying to start multiple XWin servers on a Win8 box with each having a different display number. The default Windows shortcut to start the X server is: C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe When I open a regular cygwin terminal, I can run the following command bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- :1" and get an X server listening on display :1 (or whatever number I put there). However, when I alter the Windows shortcut to the following, or run the following command from a Windows command prompt C:\cygwin64\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c "/usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- :1" it gives me an X server always with display :0. Why would it be ignoring the -- :1 part when starting with run.exe? Is there something I need to change about that command to get it to work from Windows command prompt/a shortcut?
