RE: Problem connecting to Solaris 8 systems using Xwin

[Martin McNelis <martin.mcnelis@tecnomen.ie>]

Here's the info you asked for:

$ cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
XFree86-xserv        4.3.0-20       OK

My installation is a new install from last week using the Base packages, no
additions except XFree86, no config changes.

Cheers,
Martin

Martin,

It just occurred to me that you never (and you only posted one message 
that I can see) stated what version of XFree86-xserv you had installed.

 From a Cygwin bash shell, run the following command and send the 
reported version to the mailing list:

cygcheck -c XFree86-xserv
