It's still a cygwin- question, not so ? Erik can install Exceed on his PC, and use a graphical X11- environment (e.g. kde-cygwin) started from within Cygwin, and running on his Exceed X11- server, can't he ? e.g. (hypothesis shell == bash, PC running X11- server= bbbPC) in Windows: - activate your Exceed X11- server (make sure every user can connect) in Cygwin: - export DISPLAY=bbbPC:0 - kmines & (or some other graphical program) There's a lot of other possible X11- configurations, this is just a (very) simple one. There's a lot more explanation to be found on such X11- issues and configuration in the different Linux HOWTO's, though ... (try www.tldp.org). BUT, Erik, I would by far *not* exclude a WRONG DNS (be it client or server) setup for your computer (/network), as I once had a similar performance issue indeed result in very poor X performance ... (and ... that was with ... Exceed) Kind regards Philippe Brian Ford wrote: >Since this is Cygwin/X related, you have chosen the wrong list to post to. >Please read http://cygwin.com/lists.html for more information.
