Hello Marco,
After I modified the permissions I decided to re-run the setup and
install of X11. That did work without any errors. However, I am still
getting the same problem: "winMultiWindowXMsgProc - Fatal error 1 on xcb
connection" when I run startxwin. This was on a fresh invocation of cygwin.
Attached to this email, please find three files:
* /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log
* ~/startxwin.log
* ~/cygcheck.out
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Regards,

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.
It should be related to the items on the start menu.
Unlikely related to your issue.
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.

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!
I have not seen anything obvious.
It looks like that program reached its end and exit.
Are you trying to use some Window Manager ?
Any .startxwinrc on you $HOME diretory ?
If you run directly XWin , what's happen ?
Jon, the X package maintainer, probably will have better debugging ideas.
One thing I noticed is that you installed almost all available packages.
$ grep "OK$" cygcheck.out | wc -l
7554
Any reason for that ?

The golden rule should be "install only what you need";
the system will be lighter as space and responsivness and there are less
risk of something going wrong.
Just to give you a reference I have only 2632 packages installed and I
am one of the main packagers as number of packages to take care of.
Regards
Marco
