Naveen forgot to cc the list. -----Original Message----- From: Naveen Kansara [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 2:44 AM To: Harold Hunt Subject: Re: Problems starting XFree86 => Problem Solved
Thanks Harold. After readig the XWin.log from /tmp I found out that it was the 'classical' error 'Can't find default font 'fixed''. After a revisit to mail acrhives again, I realised that I had to remount cygwin root into binary mode(which was in text mode initially), then reinstall and wow it worked. I still can't start X from bash but works fine from dos(good enough for me :-). Great work guys. Keep up the good work. Many thanks to everyone associated in developing XFree86 and Cygwin.
