We have to move all directories we want backed up into the Box Sync folder. So I have moved my Cygwin ~ (home) directory to that folder. I configured nsswitch.conf as follows: db_home: /cygdrive/c/Users/reisert/Box%_Sync/Home Most things are working. However, my Xterms are coming up in the default 80x24 format with black text on a white background. The Xwin server does not seem to recognize my ~/.xserverrc file which contains simply: exec /usr/bin/XWin -notrayicon "$@" It does appear that my ~/.bashrc is executing normally. What can I do to fix this? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us -- 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
