Hi,

is there a way to run Mono under a Windows OS using the X11 driver 
instead of the Win32 driver? I'd like to run a Windows.Forms application 
with Mono under Windows but redirect it's GUI output to an X Server, e. 
g. to an X Server running under cygwin on the same machine or to an X 
Server running on a remote Linux box.

How does Mono decide whether to use the X11 or the Win32 driver? Can 
this be controlled externally?

What about running Mono in a cygwin environment, will that make Mono 
using the X11 driver?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Dirk
