xf86-video-nested HOWTO or FAQ?

[Bob Cunningham]

Hi,

I've seen the announcements that xf86-video-nested is included in 
CygwinX, and is intended to replace Xnest/Xephyr.  But nowhere have I 
(well, google) been able to find instructions on how to actually 
accomplish this within the Cygwin environment.

Has anyone actually successfully done this?  Or is it a work-in-progress 
that isn't yet ready for end-users?


TIA,

-BobC

Wouldn't you know it: Moments after hitting send, I found 
"/usr/share/doc/xf86-video-nested/README" on my local system.

Looking through it now.

OK, the README says to use this line:

     X -config my.conf -noreset -retro :1

but Cygwin X doesn't support the "-config" option.

Any recommendations for how to make this work?

TIA,

/usr/bin/X is a symlink to the native DDX.  On Linux this is Xorg, but 
on Cygwin this is XWin.  The xf86-* plugins are meant for the former, so 
you will need to call Xorg instead.
