Re: Using startx script without opening cygwin bash command window

Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com

   My question is this... I currently open Cygwin's bash shell window and
type startx to start up my X server.  (I use the windowless option to avoid
the ugly background.)  But this leaves me with a bash shell that I don't
use.  I use my X shell windows.  Is there a way to start the X server with
all the options I am currently getting via my startx script without opening
a bash shell window?


Why not use already provided startxwin.bat in (/usr/X11R6/bin)?
You get it by installing the XFree86-startup-scripts package.

Just add -multiwindow -clipboard and comment out the xterm instance

Regards, Milos
