Yet again, I seem to have inadvertently gotten an update to cygwin X, and now I'm having trouble getting xterm to start. I had been using the startxwin.bat to start X in multiwindow mode, and I have a couple of lines in there to auto-start some xterm windows. That doesn't work anymore. The X server starts, but no xterms appear. When I right click the tray icon and go to Applications->xterm, nothing happens either. Same deal if I run "XWin.exe" or "XWin -multiwindow" manually. If I run Cygwin.bat to get the cygwin shell, then run startx, I get the "Cygwin/X:0.0" blue root window with a "login" xterm and various, square "icon" things in three of the corners. I'm not sure exactly what this is, but it's the only place that I can currently get new xterm windows to open, either by using Applications->xterm from the tray icon or by running "xterm" from the existing terminal.
How can I get back to running X in multiwindow mode so I can have several xterm windows? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
