I've got a Dell PC running Win98 on which I've installed Cygwin from http://cygwin.com followed by XFree86 from http://cygwin.com/mirrors (specifically, archive.progeny.com, and for X I grabbed the binaries from /cygwin/xfree/binaries/4.2.0). I only brought down the binaries, as I *really* didn't want to compile a Linux "kernel" to sit on top of Win98 (no, I can't just take the PCs to Linux, they have to stay on some flavor of Windoze) nor any of the X pieces, since someone else had already "invented the wheel". Unfortunately, the PC has an i810, so XWin is giving me fits. It works fine if I just invoke it from the Bash shell using XWin -screen 0 1024 768 I get a standard X desktop, can telnet to my "main" Unix system (a 9000 running HP-UX 11.11), and throw clients back to the server running on the PC. However, if I invoke XWin using XWin -query aa.bb.cc.dd -fp tcp/aa.bb.cc.dd:7000 to try to get HP-UX to throw a CDE login screen back at me via xdm, XWin runs, it changes to a grey stippled screen, and there I sit. No login screen from the HP, no nothing. Just a big ol' hang that will eventually time out. On another Dell PC, with the only difference being that it has an 82810-DC100 Graphics controller, XWin runs and lets the HP show its CDE login screen just fine. I've searched the archives, and see a lot of references to getting a copy of agpgart.o and compiling it into your kernel to get an i810 to play nicely. Well, (a) I really don't want to have to compile Cygwin for Win98 if someone else already has, (b) I have no idea where to get a cop agpgart.o which would work in that instance, anyway, and (c) since the HP can communicate to XFree86 just fine in "normal" mode, I can't believe this is because of a driver issue. Can anyone give me any pointers on what I should do to get XFree86 on an i810 chipset to give me an xdm-based login from another system? And/or tell me what further information I should have included in my message that y'all expect? Thanks, Mike Reaser Atlanta, GA
