I can't use "startx" anymore with the new cygwin package on my Windows 2000 machine. The problem goes away when I revert to the previous version. I totally uninstalled and reinstalled cygwin (deleting the entire folder) to make sure there was nothing non-standard about my setup.
What happens is that when I run "startx", which invokes xinit, I get the gray window with the X cursor that moves around, but nothing else, and then in the cygwin window, the following messages appear: : startx waiting for X server to begin accepting connections . .. .. ( a lot of double dot lines appear ) .. ( eventually I click the close box on the Cygwin/XFree86 application) giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to Xserver xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. To me it looks like there might be something going on with the socket connection to the Xserver? Just a guess, all I know is that the old version works. Thanks for looking into this. -Dave ________________________________________________________________________ David Meleedy Analog Devices, Inc.
