I just now upgraded to the latest version of cygwin. Now, when I run startxwin.sh, I get the following errors: ================================== 1. _XSERVTransmkdir: ERROR: euid != 0,directory /tmp/.X11-unix will not be created. The FAQ says this error is harmless and can be ignored, so I'm ignoring it. 2. Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list! Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' I'ved followed steps under 8.4 of http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-error-font-eof but the problem (X not starting) does not go away. 3. A pop dialog saying "A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit. Please open /tmp/Xwin.log for more information. ... XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error " I've tried (in vain) creating a root user from Windows followed by a $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ chown -R root /tmp/.X11-unix ================================== Can somebody please help get X up and running? Downgrading cygwin would be a big pain!
