Hi! I have installed cygwin/X in my secondary hard disk (e:\cygwin) on Win2k as a normal user (i.e., not administrator) and while everything worked beautifully last week, today I cannto launch X using startwinx.sh or startx. I get the following message at the end of the startx output: Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
I have checked the FAQ, and tried to solve the problem along the lines in that document. First, the output from mount that shou $ mount C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) e:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) e:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) e:\cygwin on / type user (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type user (binmode,noumount) [...] I have tried to umount the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory, but I get a permission denied problem. In fact, the fonts directory does not exist on this directory. Previously to this installation, cygwin used to reside on c:\cygwin, and the /usr/X11R6... directory seems to point to c:\cygwin, ratheer than to e:\cygwin (where it now resides), but I don't know where cygwin gets its mount table from. I suspect that this is where the problem lies. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?
