Since this is Cygwin/X related, you have chosen the wrong list to post to.
Please read http://cygwin.com/lists.html for more information. I have
redirected this thread to the cygwin-xfree list.

Hi all!
I have been running Cygwin/X for some time, with very low performance.
In the Cygwin/X FAQ this is explained by the fact that I have a personal
firewall (in this case it's Zonealarm). It is also the process vsmon.exe
that is draining my system while using Cygwin/X. The solution to this
problem would be do disable the firewall, which is not an option on
Win2000 or XP...
Why is this not an option on Win2k or XP?
Previously I used F-Secure with Himmingbird Exceed as X-server, without
any problems.
So my question is: Is it possible to run Cygwin with the X-server of
your choice, which in my case is Exceed? What do I need to do?
Yes, and nothing but set your DISPLAY variable correctly. You would get
much more informative responses if you actually describe a particular
problem you have when trying to do this. Also, see
http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
I am quite familiar with win, but not *nix.
Thank you for any help I can get!
