In sshd I have X11 Forwarding set
# cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep X11F
X11Forwarding yes
I have Putty configured with X11 forwarding

I have a Cygwin X server loaded and I can run an Xterm with no problems.
I have used the System Settings control panel to enable XDMCP and UDP
177 is listening
# netstat -l | grep xdmcp
udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:*
I then log into the host machine and run:
# Xnest :1 -query localhost
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing
from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!
After a while I get:
XDM: too many retransmissions, declaring session dead
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, removing
from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!
And in the putty logs I see
2007-03-01 10:20:07 Received X11 connect request from
127.0.0.1:33368
2007-03-01 10:20:07 Opening X11 forward connection succeeded
A Xwindow is displayed but all I see is a black background with the X
mouse pointer.
Thanks
Dean
