 +==== Setup ====
 +
 +  * Start //XLaunch// to configure VcXsrv
 +  * Select //One large window//, then //Next//
 +  * Select //Open session via XDMCP//, then //Next//
 +  * Select //Connect to host **asterix**//​ and //Terminate on server reset//, then //Next//
 +  * Use the settings specified below, then //Next//
 +    * Select //​Clipboard//​
 +    * **Unselect** //Native opengl//, unless you know what you are doing!
 +      * FIXME We should try to keep it selected and check if ''​glxgears''​ works correctly, with and without setting the ''​LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT''​ environment variable
 +  * Click on //Save configuration//​ to save the settings on the Windows desktop (e.g //​asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch//​),​ then //Finish//. VcXsrv will automatically start.\\ The next time you want to start VcXsrv, just click on the //​asterix_VcXsrv.xlaunch//​ file that you have saved on your desktop
 +
 +==== Notes ====
 +
 +  * Once you have started VcXsrv and logged in with you account on one of the asterix servers, it is highly suggested to **activate the windows wireframe moving mode** by typing:\\ ''​gconftool-2 %%--%%set /​apps/​metacity/​general/​reduced_resources %%--%%type bool true''​
 +  * If you just need to run an //X server// (instead of using XDMCP), e.g. when you are outside LSCE, just start //VcXsrv// from the Windows Start Menu
