Hello folks,
I have had multiple problems trying to install X11 on Cygwin. I am
running Cygwin on Windows 11 on my Asus VivoBook.
The initial X11 installation showed Error 3 for the sub-installation of
xinit.
Looking through previous answers, I found a suggestion to run the
following:
CYGWINFORALL=-A /bin/sh -vx /etc/postinstall/xinit.sh (**)
This failed with the following error:
mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start
Menu/Programs/Cygwin-X/User .xsession script.lnk" failed; does the
target directory exist?
Later, after quite a bit of rigamarole involving "takeown" and "icacls",
I was able to run (**) without any error message.
So then I tried startxwin, with the following error:
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Fatal error 1 on xcb connection
Here is the complete output of startxwin:
========================================================================
Welcome to the XWin X Server
...
winMultiWindowXMsgProc - xcb_connect() returned and successfully opened
the display.
Using Composite redirection
xinit: connection to X server lost

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. If I seem clueless,
that's pretty much how I feel right now -- sorry!
Sincerely,
Charlie P.
