Question #1 - Cygwin X and AIX

[Ez-Aton]

Hi People.
I'm new to this ng, and I come here now, since, according to my knowledge of
seek-and-though-shalt-find, this is my last resort.
All of the three questions I'm about to ask were searched quite heavilly in
both Google and IBM's site, including Google-ng.
A little background: I'm a Linux sysadmin for a few years now, work over a
year with Sun Solaris, and lately started maintaining few QA and
development AIX machines (RS6K). Soon to have more. I hope I can be a
member here, although my AIX knowledge is quite poor... Wish to learn more.
As said - Question #1 ( I split them on purpose, to maintain a stand-alone
thread for every question. If this is not right, please tell me, and I will
not do this again): Cygwin XFree86 and AIX:
In my company, many use Exceed as an X server (on thier PC), and they work
quite well with the IBM (I also enabled XDMCP, and it works fine), whoever,
due to funds limitation, I tried supplying the newcommers a cheeper
solution - cygwin. Cygwin's X server does not function correctly with AIX
4.3.3 (on three machines). The display is great, but typing text on the
keyboard has no results - typed text does not appear in the window. This
happens with dtterm, with xterm, etc. Any X based application running on
the AIX and local Cygwin X server does not srespond to keyboard characters.

No errors were reported on /var/dt/Xerrors.

I tried using xfs locally on the IBM, instead of using one on one of the
Suns or Linuxes, and yet - same results.

Any tips, suggestions, anything would be appreciated.

BTW, Cygwin works great with both Linux (RH8) and Solaris 8.

Thanks in advance!

Etzion.

BTDTGTTS. Turn off the NumLock on the keyboard of the Cygwin machine.

Thanks people!
The numlock / capslock just did the trick. I never thought of that.
Can anyone explain why, please?

Thanks!!!

Try 'w' and also 'who'

to list the users and what they are doing

I got same problem. The xterm does not respond to any key I entered. I don't even see the cursor in the window. I tried to press the NumLock key, but no luck. Is there any other trick?
