Hi, i could do it. I am really happy about that.

Now, what i need is to connect a window$ machine, as an X server, to a
session / window manager on a remote linux machine. I have heared about
cygwin / winx32. I am trying cygwin, but i dont understand how to set it up,
to use it, as an X server. Running the cygwin application, it opens
something too much like an "xterm". I can run many linux commands in there.
I tried to "XFree86" or "startx" commands, but nothing. Have i install an x
server on cygwin to make it work?. Any help?.

Besides, i will try xwin32 too. If anyone can tell me something to "take
care" for using it, or any help, i will be very thaks.

See you !

| That's correct. The only step you left out, is you need to tell the
| XServer to allow the remote computer to display on the
| XServer, with xhost.
|
| For example:
|
| host1$:XFree86 :(a) vt(b)
| host1$:xhost +host2
|
| host2$:wmaker -display host1:(a)
