Re: [coLinux-devel] Getting X to work natively

[Ballard J. <sac...@ho...>]

I used cygwin X.

On coLinux (Debian), use dselect to find xterm and install it or do an
"apt-get install xterm" instead.

From cygwin, use "xhost +" to allow any connection, and that is okay behind
a firewall.

Start the xserver.   Here is a .bat file I used to start it from the Start
menu. Update the "set CYGWIN_ROOT=" if needed.

---

@echo off
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET CYGWIN_ROOT=C:\cygwin

REM
REM The path in the CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable assignment assume
REM that Cygwin is installed in a directory called 'cygwin' in the root
REM directory of the current drive.  You will only need to modify
REM CYGWIN_ROOT if you have installed Cygwin in another directory.  For
REM example, if you installed Cygwin in \foo\bar\baz\cygwin, you will need
REM to change \cygwin to \foo\bar\baz\cygwin.


SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%


REM
REM Cleanup after last run.
REM

if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH
attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0
del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0

:CLEANUP-FINISH
if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix

REM

start XWin -multiwindow
