I think it is easier and simpler than all this X and cygwin stuff. You run vncserver in the colinux machine (it is already in debian and gentoo) and then use an vnc client in the windows machine. Vnc clients exists for a lot of architectures, win32 included. You can detach and reatach later to a graphic session, what you cannot do with an X session due to X clients deading when X connection lost.

Tested with KDE and Enlightment, works fine a compact XServer for the till coLinux supports X native. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://speeldoos.showcase.surfnet.nl/startx.zip">http://speeldoos.showcase.surfnet.nl/startx.zip</a> regards, Bart ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
