I can't say what was causing the problem. My working theory was that somehow TeamViewer (remote control software) was causing the problem. However, I have been doing extensive remote access the last week and have not had a single X server crash! I did make a few changes after the crashes became more frequent: 1. I had originally some problems with ~/.startxwinrc, and had copied the default from \etc\X11\xinit\startxwinrc in order to keep the extra window from popping up when X server was started. I have since been able to reduce ~/.startxwinrc to simply: sleep infinity For some reason, at home I additionally have to explicitly call "xrdb" in my ~/.startxwinrc, but not at work. I do not know why, or what's different. 2. I have been using the 2.x beta releases of the Cygwin library. In the process, I have removed my local /etc/passwd and /etc/groups files, letting Cygwin get the info from Windows directly. I can't say whether either of these two actions has stopped the crashes. But they have stopped. -- 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
