Hi,
My employer is making us use Box Sync for backup. We have to move all
directories we want backed up into the Box Sync folder.
So I have moved my Cygwin ~ (home) directory to that folder. I
configured nsswitch.conf as follows:
db_home: /cygdrive/c/Users/reisert/Box%_Sync/Home
Most things are working. However, my Xterms are coming up in the
default 80x24 format with black text on a white background. The Xwin
server does not seem to recognize my ~/.xserverrc file which contains
simply:
exec /usr/bin/XWin -notrayicon "$@"
It does appear that my ~/.bashrc is executing normally.
What can I do to fix this?
