    Question Cygwin/X Question

    I would like to launch an X server with startxwin.bat without an X terminal popping up so that I can use putty. I have tried editing the .xinitrc file both in my home directory and in the /etc/X11/xinit directory both to no avail.

    Help!!

    Thanks,

    Solution

    I found that if I edited the startxwin.bat file itself it was starting the xterm. After I changed that line to
    Code:
    REM run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/bin/bash -l
    things worked exactly as I wanted them to.

    Good Luck,
