If you already have an X server up and running, have at least the Cygnus user tools installed (bash and so on), you have to set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 and then you only have to double click xterm.exe to start it. >where is xlogin ? You don't need it, because you are already logged into your WinNT/Win95. xlogin on Unix systems is to let you login into your system. >do I need to add some stuff to inetd.conf to make it work ? No, this isn't necessary for X to work - not even on Unix systems. >how do I run startx No need to have startx, because your X server is already running, you don't have/need xdm and you don't need something like a window manager, because X servers on Windows systems normally do the job of a window manager for their X clients, too. > > >also I have tried using srvany to startup inetd automatically, but when >I do a net start it complains, but I can run it manually > >I am a XWindows user, not a system Admin, and would like to you my PC as >a xclient when I am at home insteading of going through a 28k line which >is slow. Uhm, perhaps I didn't understand you the right way - your X server is running on your local machine, isn't it ? So your machine is X client and X server at the same time ? If so, my statements above should fit your needs, otherwise please be a bit more precise on what you want to do. > >Thanks. >Ian Holsman BYe.
