I installed Cygwin and it works pretty good on my XP box. However, When I
ssh over to my BSD box I am still getting the same issus as I was when I was
using putty. It starts to load with a message
"could not init font element path /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/speedo/, removing
from list!"
And just hangs. However the Xserver does start up on my XP Box. and does
not get sent to my remote system.
I do not get this error starting X locally on either box.
Anybody see this before.
