X11 forwarding has nothing to do with mouse tracking on the Cygwin terminal window. Rather, it's a tunnel for the X applications (running on the remote host) that allows them to use a local X11 server (XFree86, XWin32, MobaXTerm etc), which in turn can display the application's window on your PC's desktop (such as an xterm window with the remote host's shell in it) HTH, Anton Lavrentiev Contractor NIH/NLM/NCBI -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
