Hi, I am trying to connect to my Linux machine from home. I can start the X window, then I do X -query myipaddress, but all I get is a grey screen with a "X" shaped cursor, I am VPNing to work, and runnig on XP. I have looked for a solution all over the net to no avail, in fact the info provided on cygwin's FAQs does not make any difference, I am referring to http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html section 8.4 that is {Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'}. I guess this could be a setup issue, but I just can not get the login screen, could anyone please provide some input here is my XWin.log file, thanks.
