Hi, I run cygwin X with the supplied startxwin.bat. That is the Xwin command is:
run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error But I found that it doesn't really matter, how I launch XWin. In single window mode the problem also occurs. I ran cygcheck xterm.exe and also cygcheck rxvt.exe. Neither reports any errors. All references are to DLLs, for rxvt the output looks like so: # cygcheck rxvt.exe Found: C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll and just for reference the error I receive is: ~# rxvt _X11TransOpen: Unable to find transport for tcp rxvt: can't open display 127.0.0.1:0.0 Thanks for your help so far.
