For us, for many months now, X11 hasn't worked after any fresh Cygwin install, due to the "missing font "fixed" problem) - see http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof In fact, our install process now runs setup, runs various commands as per the faq entry above, then re-runs setup and requires the user to re-install the X fonts. After that X will work. On top of that, there were changes to -multiwindow and other parameters. We now default to starting X in a way that boils down to this: xinit -- -rootless -clipboard -logfile /tmp/XWin.log.$USER The .$USER is important if multiple people may use the machine - the default choice of /tmp/XWin.log will make X fail to start because a later user won't have write permissions on /tmp/XWin.log. Anyway, try the above, and check out the contents of the log file to help work out what's going wrong. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
