This is usually enough, but as default setting, xwins create a window big as my current resolution. Xwin Launches the XWin application, which is our Xserver Removes the need for two shells (one for launching the Xserver and one for SSH connection). Now open a Cygwin shell with its nice desktop shortcut and type:Ĭygstart tells Cygwin to run a command and give you back your shell control. There may be some other needed packages, if you get somenthing like a “command not found”, you have to add that package too. The first thing to do is downloading Cygwin installer, be sure to add xorg, xint and openssh packages while installing. This guide should work ok with any linux environment, not only RPIs, provide you properly set ssh configurations. Nothing new or super cool, just another way. I personally use my RPi through command line, SSH it over LAN, because I one Desktop environment (my Windows machine) is more than enough for me.īut after a couple mails with a friend trying to view his PI’s lxsession on his Windows machine and explaining him my setup using Cygwin only, he told me there’s no tutorial on this.

I know a lot of people that love touchy and clicky interfaces, the tablet market rise reflect this. After my little Raspberry PI Mono installation accident, that fucked up everything with Mono, I decided to reinstall Raspbian Wheezy.
