I've been running cygwin/x (x86) under xp pro for YEARS, with it working perfectly.
The last update to 1.17 has been a disaster. I've read about using -listen tcp, and DISPLAY=:0.0 ; however, nothing I've tried resolves the seg fault error i'm getting. using 1.17.1-5; have also tried 1.17.2-0 to no avail; back on 1-5. any help or direction would be appreciated!
