Correct me if I am wrong but the X11-libs/binaries allow Xapps to be compiled and run but you still need a 3rd party server (like SuperX or Exceed) Michael -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com]On Behalf Of John Fletcher Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 1999 12:35 PM To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com Subject: X11R6 DISPLAY parameter I have loaded B19 X11R6.3 binaries onto a computer where I already have installed cygwin B19. I have set DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 as indicated on the web page. When I attempt to open e.g. xterm or rxvt I get a message that the display cannot be opened. What else do I need to set on the computer (Win95 OSR2)? Thanks John ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr John P.
