I've used CYGWIN for years. Recently upgraded from a single processor XP
system to a multiprocessor Win 7 32 system. Can't get X running decently at
all. Installed and re-installed CYGWIN several times. Saw some threads about
using rebaseall to solve some similar problems but none of the command
sequences help. Here is the log of my last attempt to get it operating.
rm3@mcbroomrc2 ~
$ /bin/startxwin.exe
giving up.
/bin/startxwin: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
/bin/startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Weird, yesterday I could at least start the server!! The stackdump is
