Subject: Re: How to run xinit without first entering a cygwin terminal

Thanks for your reply:-)

I followed your advice, now it seems that rdesktop is running, but the
window that xinit showed was just plain black. rdesktop is supposed to
be a remote desktop client that runs on linux and connect to a windows
remote desktop. When I use the command "/usr/bin/xinit.exe
./rdesktop/rdesktop.exe -f 192.168.1.79" in a cygwin terminal, it can
show the desktop of 192.168.1.79.

Could this be due to the same reason  that startx can't show the
cygwin desktop? What should I do? Thanks;-)
