Guys, Someone recently suggested XFree-86 under Cygwin is the best way to access the SuSE GUI. I've installed it and I can: startxwin.sh xhost + ssh SuSE-box DISPLAY=... xeyes and it works. What I prefer to do, is run the whole KDE desktop via XFree-86, but I forgotten the command. I thought it was "XWin -query server_name", but that is not working. Can someone give me that again?

Try : kde & in Your ssh terminal. It works for me.. ss On Friday 24 May 2002 19:11, Greg Freemyer wrote:

This sounds great guys but I assume that you've found an ftp server that offers the X subsystem ? When I ran setup last week, every ftp site I connected to (and I tried 7 of them) said that X was n/a. I assumed then that only the base Cygwin installation was avaiable so went with that. An interesting diversion but without the X client it's no better than telnet from a Win98 box for me. Am I looking in the wrong place ? I also can't seem to find a way to add features without re-installing the whole shooting match ...? Thanks, Damian Steinar Saetre wrote:

Hi. Not sure if I understand the Q, but if U install the rest, U should be able to start the X. And, if I understand the Q, the rest of what U need is here : http://cygwin.com/xfree/ Regs., ss On Monday 27 May 2002 11:31, Damian Ohara wrote:

Whoa, back up here! You guys are way ahead of me. I have cygwin installed on my machine at work, to play with, more than anything. (I would like to learn C with it.) Somehow, I got what appeared to be X up, but with NO GUI, just a gray screen with an X cursor. I'm not really sure what I did to do that, but it was NOT "startx." Now you folks are mentioning KDE--where do you get KDE for cygwin, or what binaries must be compiled to run it, or--you get the idea--I'm 10 paces behind! --doug At 09:31 05/27/2002 +0000, Damian Ohara wrote:
