I am trying to connect to a Sun UNIX box and display the graphics on my PC running Cygwin. I am using the command ssh -X -l <user-name> <remote-machine>.
The connection is being made OK, but when I try and run something with X graphics I get an error message of the form: X Error (intercepted): BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major Request Code : 7 Minor Request Code : 0 Resource ID (XID) : 58 Error Serial Number : 47 XView warning: invalid object (not a pointer), xv_get finished; X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request 7 (X_ReparentWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0x3a Serial number of failed request: 47 Current serial number in output stream: 56 I have a Netgear DG834G router/firewall, neither of which are showing anything in the log. The odd thing is that I tried the same thing from my work PC and it was fine. I updated the whole of my Cygwin installation yesterday. Any help would be very gratefully received.
