I'm having a similar problem as Mr. Lee. I recently installed latest cygwin to run under Win98SE, which seems to run fine. Today, I installed xfree86 from setup on cygwin.com/xfree/ website.
When I run startx, I get the following: ----------- $ startx xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): no server "X" in PATH Use the -- option <snip> giving up. xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno3): Server error. ------------ /usr/X11R6/bin is in my PATH. I have a .initrc file in my home directory. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Glenn A.

I remember that formerly i have to setup Xfree86 after Cygwin installation is finished..Now i found that with the present version Cygwin, the dir 'cygwin/usr/X11R6' is already there, and 'x11R6/bin' does contains such commands as: startx, xwin, startxwin.bat... Do i have to install xfree86 agin to use the x-window? since i tried startx, startxwin.bat, neither of them worked. Thanks ----- $ startx giving up. xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error. $ startxwin.bat startxwin.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000 Administrator@ALLELUJA /cygdrive/d $
