The workaround mentioned works but isn't ideal in the > environment I have. No progress, but a couple more suggestions: cygwin now has an X11 PuTTY client package. I haven't tested that, but I guess that should be able to find the X display and authority file without any special configuration. Alternatively, you could patch xinit to use a deterministic name for the authority file e.g. ~/.serverauth.hostname.display rather than ~/.serverauth.pid. (If you write such a patch, please submit it, as that would probably be acceptable in our package and maybe upstream. Using just the pid seems wrong, as there potentially could be collisions in a shared home directory) -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
