You should read the user guide:

http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ug/using.html#using-starting-startx

Also, have you tried clicking the shortcut from the start menu to
start X windows? (Hint: the shortcut doesn't use startx.bat).

I am getting the following message in
 D:\cygwin\var\log\XWin.0.log and X doesn't got started, this happed after
 updating cygwin, re installation doesn't help even.

Cygwin/X Remote connection frozen display problem

[Ali Haydar GÜMÜŞ]

Hello,

We are using Solaris 2.5.1 box. And we are accessing to Solaris from Windows
xp using Cygwin/X. The connection establish without any problem and we can
use desktop environment. But, sometimes later ( various between 2 minutes to
10 minutes ) Connectted desktop display is frozen. Mouse is moving on
screen, but noting selected.
Therefore, We installed Xmanager to do it. But, we didin't meet any problem,
It works properly without any problem.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks for your reply.

What do the Cygwin passwd file entry sections mean?

[scotch123]

Hello,

My apologies for the newbie question.

I've been looking for an explanation of what each section of a Cygwin
/etc/passwd/ user entry means, specifically the segments between the user
name and the home directory and bash shell:

corinna:unused:11001:11125:U-BAR\corinna,S-1-5-21-2913048732-1697188782-3448811101-1001:/home/corinna:/bin/tcsh

I can't seem to find what the three things in the middle are. 

I want to write up a how-to for a co-worker that explains what each segment
is before explaining how to change a user's home directory path from the
Unix default to the Windows/Cygwin notation that goes to their webroot
folder so they can use SFTP.

If someone could explain, or direct me to an explanation, I'd be grateful.

Thanks,
Scotch

Wrong list.  This is not a Cygwin-X question.  Please send requests about
Cygwin to the main list.  Only questions, issues, or comments regarding
Cygwin-X should go to this list.

To answer your question, the main information for this you can get from
Linux/UNIX sources: http://linux.die.net/man/5/passwd.

The Cygwin-specific parts you can get from the Users Guide:
