Huh. Weird that on my searches earlier I did not find these posts: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00324.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2011-10/msg00083.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2012-02/msg00011.html Ok, here's what I did to get gitk running again: - Install the packages xorg-server and xinit $ rm ~/.gitk $ startxwin I was wondering the rationale behind switching to use X11 instead of GDI. Seems a little heavyweight. This thread sums it up nicely though. http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00447.html Thanks! -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
