That was me. Please send me informations about the Xservers. I'm writing a
document with texinfo where we can put the information. It could be easy
converted in HTML,PDF,PS and so on.
The keyinformations I need are (eg. Xvnc):
Name of Server-bin:
Xvnc.exe
Location:
/usr/X11R6/bin/
Required DLL's :
Important Parameter/Example:
<screen> :0
-fp /usr/X11R6/libX11/fonts/misc
Important Files:
rbg.txt (is in /usr/X11r6/X11/rbg.txt, but should be copied to
/usr/lib/X11/rbg.txt)
Gotchas:
Fonts should not be compressed. (if they are, use gunzip and mkfontsdir).
Fonts and rbg.txt should be on the same Drive like the excutable.
I get the information about Xvnc via trial and error, if they are wrong
please corrrect me. It seems that the integration in the cygwin-environment
is not complet. We should recomend that the cygwin-root directory is identical
with an Dos-Drive-Root.
I'm waiting for input !!!
