Command Line Parameters

Cygwin/X, by default, runs in windowed mode with the largest window that will fit on your Windows desktop, using the best performing engine that is installed on your system; you do not need to pass any parameters to XWin.exe to use the default behavior.

Up to date documentation of XWin.exe options can be read with man XWin .

Below is an example command line for XWin.exe.

XWin.exe -screen 0 800 600 -fullscreen -depth 32 -refresh 85 -emulate3buttons 100 -nowinkill -unixkill
