I saw this and the thread with Chris Green, and like Chris I still
don'know what to do.
Is there a write-up that explicitely describes the setup and use of
xwinclip with xdmcp?
I tried:
XWin.exe -query my_server &
Use the X window to login in to my_server, launch x-term
>From X-windows x-term
# xhost 127.0.0.1
127.0.0.1 being added to access control list
>From cygwin window: (the first time I tried it failed)
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xwinclip
UnicodeSupport - Windows NT/2000/XP
GetClipboardData () failed: 00000000
Then I tried 'DISPLAY=:0.0 xwinclip' again from cygwin window, and it
appears to be working, but not cosistently, or else I don't know what
causes the clipboard to move back and forth between Win2K and X-server.
Thanks for any help,
Greg
