Hi all
I got tigervnc to work over ssh. I cant get past when I type startx into
the screen I logged into. It is the login screen like ctrl+f2. Any ideas?
I'm trying to look at xfce from cygwin.
Thanks thor .

There's a lot of detail missing here, so I'm forced to guess what you
are trying to do.
Assuming it's something like 'use cygwin vncviewer to connect to a
remote xfce session running on a vncserver through a ssh tunnel', startx
isn't really the right tool to use here, instead adjust ~/.vnc/xstartup
to run startxfce.
